Ferdinand Porsche said one day something sounding like "Racing against one-self is the only race that never ends". Aside from money, BR requests attention and thouroughness on a long period. THIS they don't want anymore. That's not FUN.

I know a gentleman here shooting LV/HV with a verrrrrryyyyy old McMillan Edge stock and still winning today in National and European matches. The first McM Edge model offered to market. It was advertised in PS at that time. With regards to recoil lug, as we have few BR competitors in France...

Gentlemen, please receive my best wishes for a quick and complete recovery. In the meantime, protect the people around you (distance, mask and so on ...), and take good care, feeding/drinking and rest yourself. In Germany, France, Portugal, the virus strikes again most probably because...

Elmer, Thanks for the update. It's nice to have better news. My best wishes are flying to Wilbur. Olive.

So we all hunt for the best internal ballistic, trying to place that vibe node as close as possible from the muzzle, seeking for that "sweet spot" aka a balance in powder, load, bullet, seating, primer, rabbit foot color, Pig cap and so on ... Sweet Spot is supposed to allow a very slight...

Jackie, Nice shooting. Thanks for saving the turtle. Joel, Thanks for the info about Chombart soft bedding trial. Olive.

stress/strain on 1.06 dia Seeing your sketch, there will be quite a torque applied on the 1.06 "ring" due to barrel weight being full forward. That's a complete different storry than the usual barrel block. Have you run some stress calculation and compare from what you get from tension at...

Wish you a speedy recovery Wilbur. You are our Old Digger who knows where all the gold nugget posts are on this forum. Be back to us soon !!

So ..... Extreme accuracy and reproducibility in powder charge weight may not be as significant as it may sound at first glance ... Boyd, Can you tell us which powder measure and drop tube length Gary was/is using ?

Bench Rest is some kind of religion where "reducing the variations" is the main cult. For some, that is relaxing the brain once behind the gun watching the windflags. I have no variation anymore, I should shot well. Some Mantra/Zen in the BR game. Reducing process variations is the creed of...

RG, Have you ever replace the ball bearing by a 243 jacket seated base up in the .308 jacket ?. As far as I understood David Corbin, there is a long long core placed (not core seated) in the .243 jacket, the .243 material is placed jacket base up in the .308 and core seated. Then a short lead...

Yep ! A thrue gold nugget in that mine of information I 've been digging into for these last month prior I register. Many thanks for your contributionS. Glad to be there, The new newbie. Oliver.

Started reloading a 30-30Win in '79 with Lyman 310. Worked in an ammo plant from 89 to 92 (where I got my scar). We made the brass shiny using cyanide salts bathes as a final brass case manufacturing operation, before priming stations and move to loading area. That was an approx 30 meters long...

Don't agree with the "old wiwes tales", better say I'm an old . I payed for the 2 firsts and wear a scar on my left thumb. Take care.

Process control does not come from "feels". Ask Motorola and 6Sigma. If a process result is not in line with the measurement of a process variable change, then the choosen variable most probably is not the right one.

I know a guy who let his 30x44 seat on the top of the freezer overnight. Anyway, beware of : - static electricity - peeling flame retardant off on double based powders - breaking powder granules and therefore change powder burning rate by increasing flame surface. I once mixed a loaded...
