Spotting scopes I have a Zeiss 85 FL Diascope which is rated as the best scope by the birders. It has a 20 to 60 zoom lens which is also rated the best zoom in the industry and has the best FOV of any of the zooms. I use the scope for long range prone and it is exceptional. However, the 45...

7mm 180 BT-Thick Eric: Bullets received today. I will test this weekend and post the results. Thanks for the opportunity, Jim Hardy

New F-Class Record Nate: Charles was the right man, at the right time, with top-shelf equipment, shooting a 284 that was inside of everything else on the line. He paid his dues and came to Butner with a purpose. Charles picked up on the fact that the prevailing condition would not hurt his...

Semper Fi, Jim

Hmmmmm Robert: It is interesting that you wish to use the same powder in the .308 as you do in your 6BR. I have always been able to do exactly that. I get great results with Varget, RL15, H4895, N140, N150, 540 and 560 in both the 6BR and the .308. Jim

Varget and RL-15 in the 308 In my Barnard 308 Palma prone gun, I get 63 fps more out of exactly the same load of RL-15 than I do Varget. In the prone, Varget has a "sharper" recoil than RL-15 -- not that it matters to me, but I can tell the difference. In testing from the bench, both loads...

carbide bushings Butch Lambert . . . if he has any left. Jim Hardy

NBRSA Nationals Congrats Jerry! Now you have a 1000 BR and a 600 BR National Championship under your belt. I love it when the sling shooters get it done. It looks like you wind reading skills in the score competition really brought it home. Great job, Jim Hardy

New Record!!!! Congrats to all! What a great showing of marksmanship and the development of a complete shooting package. I wish I had been there to see this. Jim Hardy

Henry Childs Lynn: I still have 300 + of that brass I purchased from Henry years ago. It was indeed sorted as you say. I also have, with his permission, a virgin reamer to the 6mm specs of the round he calls the 243 Williams (basically a 243 with a 6BR neck) which I obtained about the same...

210 Bt German: Thanks. I am looking forward to your match testing, and good luck! Jim

210 Bt German: Looking for an update on your 1000 yd test. Thanks, Jim Hardy

Pa And Sweet Tea! Jim Hardy

I recently received a shipment of the new 175 BT, 185 BT and 210 BT bullets for testing. As I got the shipment a little late for the respective testing deadline of early April, I have tested only the 185 BT. Since I was short on time, and since so many others had run the Junke on these new...

Ain't she pretty . . . Greg Culpepper had one that looked about that good that he would shoot in the factory class at Hawks Ridge. Believe it or not, his old 6.5 shot several single digit groups at 1000 -- I think one was a 7 incher. Maybe Greg or some of the shooters from Hawks Ridge will...

bullet blowup Eric: Just my $.02: (1) I am very glad that you and Berger Bullets continue this open forum to the benefit of competitive shooters on such a "hot" topic; (2) It is great to see Henry Childs back posting on this board as his reputation is top shelf; (3) Randy's imput is...

bullet blowup Eric: Your work is appreciated. I (and I suspect others) would like to know how button barrels (like a 5C Broughton, Lilja or Hart) would fair in the test compared to the two brands of cut barrels you are using in the tests. Of course, this would open the door to any...

The group I believe the group was shot with a 300 Win Mag and 240 Sierra Match Kings. The group was 2.xxx -- I have the exact size somewhere but I will have to look it up. I have a picture of the group hanging in my shop. And a big NO to anyone shooting 10 shots that centered and that...

:DThis thread really makes me smile! I was the guinea pig for the test on that Friday at Hawks Ridge. The system worked perfectly. BTW, I got to fire about 20 rounds to test the unit --- and get my zero. Guess who won that monthly championship.;) Jim Hardy

Meplats JV: You are correct. That is why many custom bullets have rather large meplats. Breaking pins on these expensive dies is not a good thing. Jim
