One more time for those that are so worried about their rights. This is a once it a lifetime issue. Believe it or don't. If you have a heart attack, or terminal cancer, or whatever, and you can't get treatment because they've run out of beds and supplies and half the doctors and nurses are...

I think it depends in large part upon barrel length. If all three contours are 20 inches long, there will not be much difference. At 30 inches, the difference will be much greater. I have a blueprinted Remington 700 action with a Krieger barrel chambered in .260 Remington. It is a Remington...

I received a good email today from the president of the hospital where I work. She explained that social distancing and self-isolation are techniques to slow the spread of the virus so that the health care system can deal with it in a somewhat organized fashion rather than being overwhelmed. It...

Well, you're on a benchrest site. Ringing gongs is one thing, but score or group benchrest is a whole other ball game at whatever distance. Shooting a record group or close to it at 100 yards or 1000 yards is probably a lot more about equipment, loads, meteorology etc. than mental perparation...

A friend once said "when it's checkout time, it's checkout time." I believe that. We don't get to choose our time and place of passing generally. However, we can listen to the best advice out there and act accordingly. At this hour whole countries in Europe are shut down. Iran is burying dead...

I've done a lot of reading about the virus today. I'm taking it seriously. I work for a major hospital. They have put travel restrictions on us, such don't fly, don't go to Massachusetts etc. They can't stop you, but they require that you check with Occupational Medicine before coming back to...

According to Patreon.com: "Start a membership business to develop a direct relationship with your biggest fans and generate predictable, recurring revenue from your creative work." Sounds like an additional money maker for one of our new Youtube sensations.

I have a Savage Long Range Benchrest in 6MM BR. It was cratering and giving off-center primer hits. Also, the accuracy had fallen off a good bit from its early years. I sent the bolt to Greg and it came back quickly. No more cratering and no more off-center primer strikes. Now, you can't send...

Lost Goat Two hunters are walking along the edge of a field. One says “Hey, watch out for that hole.” The other says “Man, you’re right. That thing looks deep. Let’s throw something down it and see how deep it is.” They look around but there’s no rocks or nothin’ – just an old rusty anvil. They...

This Hart/40x thing has been chewed over like a $2 steak for quite some time. I just Googled "hart 40x barrel mike walker" and got quite a few posts from several forums and time frames.

Clean, crisp with no creep or overtravel is certainly my ideal, but if I can't get that, I at least want consistent and controllable. I have an ancient Stevens Favorite with a good bore that I shoot very well. I couldn't sit here and describe that trigger pull to you even though I've shot it for...

That's the part after the "dot", like alsvideo.wmv

I just installed my third Rifle-Basix ERV-3K on a Remington 700. This one is a BDL sporter model in .222 Remington. I have used it for various club matches with some success. I had the factory trigger set at 32 ounces but there was a good deal of creep. Rather than fool with it any more, I...

There has been plenty of discussion of the Teslong on this and other forums. I don't see it scaring any rifle or barrel makers one bit. If you make a good product, you're not afraid of scrutiny, and barrels in general are greatly improved from 20 years ago. For me, there are two main...

"And" corrected yourself. See, happens all the time.

At least you caught it an corrected yourself, Al. I see far more egregious errors in magazines and commercial web sites all the time. I guess they don't have a budget for spell checkers and grammer checkers.

68 flat base in a 14 twist 6mm is the old standard.

I think Al should write a Erskine Caldwell style novel on the order of "Tobacco Road" or "God's Little Acre". Makes me wonder, would the mash run faster if you threw in a hundred CCI BR-4's? Just don't run it through an old Buick radiator, least not if you want your customers to be around to...

I don't have the inclination to wade through all my old "Precision Shooting" magazines. However, I did peruse the contents of the "Benchrest Shooting Primer", a collection of a hundred or more articles from the same magazine, and none of his writings were in there. I think he was a man who let...

I think that perhaps some of his writings in "Precision Shooting" might offer a clue. Myself, I have no indication that he was. I met him a time or two at turkey shoots at the Weathersfield (Vermont) Rod and Gun Club. That's what passed for shooting competitions in the vicinity of Springfield...
