    6mm ppc bore diameter

    Thanks for the comments Gentlemen, the information is pretty well what I thought. Been struggling with a barrel that's a little larger on the bore diameter than what I've been using, tried different bullets, some flat bases that are about a half thou larger than the boattails I normally use and...

    6mm ppc bore diameter

    Was interested to know what bore diameter Short Range BR shooters prefer for their barrels. My experience is limited enough that I don't have an opinion. I also have two really good shooting barrels right now, one is a .2362 bore and the other is .2372, they both like the same bullets which...

    Range Rod or Indicator?

    Gordy has a chambering video on Grizzleys website where he chambers a barrel using the Grizzley indicator rod and bushing setup. Many guys use this method. There are also guys that use deltronic pins to indicate a barrel in and there are the guys that use a pin in the muzzle and a interapid...

    Spring Time Matches in the Rockies

    Planning on going to a match out by Grand Junction this weekend but need to drive my motor home over this pass to get there. This pass is a bit wiggy in good weather, this kind of weather it's downright white knuckle stuff. Pic is from this morning. To go or not to go??

    Need help on picking out a Ruger 204 rifle

    The reason many of these guys talk about stabilizing the 40's is that you can kill Prairie Dawgs at 600yds with the 204 and an accurate 40 grain load. It will put a lot of pressure on your ability to read wind and mirage but it's a blast. Killing anything at 300 yards with a good shooting 204...

    6 Grendel for competition

    Shot the Grump Saturday and discovered I didn't have enough powder in it before. Got the load about a grain heavier of 8208XBR and it started shooting well. Shot a four group 100 yd agg at .224 which isn't anything to write home about but it's good for a rifle that's intended purpose is to get...

    Benchrest handicap

    I quoted Tim, Dave, not you. It looks like you may be hiring the wrong ones or mishandling them. I hire them too, they either shape up quick or get shipped out, three of them work for me now and they're good guys.

    Benchrest handicap

    I would agree that many millennials are spoiled and into instant gratification, but having raised one kid that is that age, that isn't like that at all, and being involved in raising several others that aren't, I would have to disagree. One mistake us older guys make is thinking like this...

    6 Grendel for competition

    If this works this is a target from last weekend shooting what I call a Grump, which is a .020 long 6 Grendel the name is another name for a modified 6 grendel. To my knowledge, there is a Fat Rat, Grinch, Varmint Fat Rat, 40 AR Turbo and who knows what else. This chamber has a .269 neck and...

    6 Grendel for competition

    If you could bring it upon yourself to send my tuner, I'd loan you a reamer.

    6 Grendel for competition

    Right in the middle of doing just that right now. It likes 8208XBR and N135, doesn't like N133 or anything faster. My cartridge is a .020 long grendel necked to 6mm, .269 neck. Don't know how to post pics or I'd put up some target shots from yesterday.

    6MM Grendel

    Thanks, I've seen that data before but hoped someone had some specific experience with an 80 grain bullet in a bolt gun.

    Is this sport expensive?

    Compared to many other sports, including other shooting sports, Benchrest shooting is downright cheap. Checkout flying, or bass fishing, or red fish tournament fishing. I think for most of us the travel, which equals time and money, are the limiting factors. The equipment isn't bad at all...

    Benchrest handicap

    At the expense of offending several people, here goes. I don't have any data on the demographic of shooters currently in the sport, but looking around the average guy would be about 65 and retired. There's a limited number of these people that, in retirement, can afford to shoot very much, due...

    6MM Grendel

    Thanks, one load of 8208 that shot the best group was 3178fps.

    6MM Grendel

    Since you were involved in developing the Grinch would you share what powder you guys use and how much? I think Bart told me you guy use N133 but not sure, I tried 8208 XBR and N133 this weekend in my 6 Grendel, it really likes 8208xbr, the N133 not so much, but I may still be a little light on...
