I lit off a couple of shots when the tails had a bow and wish I had noticed before i shot rather than after. Don't know what causes it but every now and then a whole bunch of tails will just go straight up. Seems impossible but it ain't!

I'll second Charlie's comment...Thanks a Million!

Half inch at 100 yds for a really good one. A few maybe better and others quite a bit worse. I've never adjusted a 40X trigger but did a google search and found quite a bit of info. Any adjustment should be proven before you get away from your tools and find that the trigger won't work.

We are indeed diminished. John Inman was the Benchrest shooter and competitor we would all like to be. Very sorry to hear this bad news.

There has be numerous threads of similar content over the years and while I initially didn't believe that old unfired cases would have such characteristics...it seems they do.

A very special person indeed...very, very special.... Wilbur

Jackie - I had a couple of those and they are simply too much pistol to shoot at targets. Just go buy a box of jacketed bullets and after you shoot it a time or two, clean it, load it, and put it in your nightstand drawer. If you choose to load, 2400 is a good powder...likely the best. BTW -...

Error on my part as usual...I had to make a few clicks to get around that 15% but finally did it. Sorry for the comment as it was just my ignorance.

Chris....is there another way to donate? Gofundme wants 15%....

No, that's not what I'm saying at all...when the air exits the valve stem it enters the tire gauge which is a consistent area and calibrated to read psi....it's not seeing the actual psi but is calibrated to show us something really close.

I don't think there's a "right" answer to your question. The rail top weighs quite a bit and will track (return to battery) if you put any length barrel on it (store bought length) so it comes down to the target. The target always tells the tale....but you already knew that so I reckon I just...

What exactly is PSI... I may have it wrong....thought it meant "pounds per square inch" rather than just "pounds". My earlier point concerning the tire gauge was that they are calibrated to report a pressure in PSI rather than what is experienced at the valve stem. Further, the tire pressure...

If you had two tire guages and they gave you a different pressure on the same tire (quite common) ...what would cause that?

Balancing a flag sometimes makes it less responsive. I sold a lot of flags and ended up making the "vane" quite large because folks seemed to think a balanced flag worked best. Most, if not all, flags work because the tail has more area on one side of the pivot than on the other...

I think you're right...but I'm pretty easy these days.

Yes, that's correct, but it's psi rather than pressure at ANY given point. John Kielly stated this a bit more eloquently earlier but I'm just being Wilbur and sayin' it differently

Don't know if that's right or not but suspect it's not. I just calculated the area of a .062 inch round hole and applied that to 50,000 psi. I realized after I posted that the total pressure on the primer would be the result of the diameter of the space inside the primer...but who cares. If...

Agreed...one of the best I've seen for a "short story".

Good shootin' Bob!

If the pressure is 50,000 psi then the pressure within a .062 primer hole would be 83 psi.
