I joined the sport because of a love of accuracy. Any watered down version of Benchrest shooting is not going to improve its appeal to the general public, it will chase away the true Benchrest lovers. A factory rifle will never Consistantly shoot like a true Benchrest rifle so why fool...

Thanks Al, I do notice the funnel shape that you mention when the brass is first expanded, it seems to go away (at least to my inexperienced eye) when I begin the neck turning process. what have you found to be the best method to insure that the neck I.d. is perfectly round? Also What annealing...

Thanks all, your feedback is very informative. Mike, what thickness are you turning your necks to? Ed

Thanks Gentalmen for some good answers. Charles; You are spot on, loose is indeed neck tension, brass thickness does not change. It seems that that the brass just does not spring back as it used to in the earlier firings. My load is a bit stiff at 34.8 grs of 4198, maybe that's taking a toll on...

I am running into this problem of loose 30BR necks that have me stumped. I have a .330 neck 30BR rifle. After fire forming, I begin with using a .327 bushing, any smaller is too tight. After firing a couple of times, I have to go to a .325 bushing since things begin getting loose. After 2-3...

Thanks Dick, that makes sense. Will give this method a try, I am currently using the expander iron. Ed

I must be missing something, don't you turn the necks before you fire form by the method described? Thanks, Ed

Wouldn't rapid cooling creat micro cracks? Ed

I know that Wayne Francis & Wayne Shaw are the parents of this cartridge. What is the parent cartridge used to prepare the brass and what prep steps are followed? Who is making a reamer for this cartridge? Any other info would be helpful. Thanks, Ed

Does the Shadetree top have the same amount of travel as a Farley? For 100, 200 & 300 yards. Thanks, Ed

Seb, the links are working now. Good looking front bag setup! Ed

Both links do not work Ed

LH, I should rephrase it as "uneven" or not straight rather then actual wiggle. The cross hair on an unaligned bag setup would go up at an angle instead of in a straight line. My front rest is a Sinclair BR comp and the rear bag is Edgwood Minigator Ed

Al and Boyed, the unexplained high shot with conditions being the same is what led me to this question. What I have tried recently in my limited experience and which has helped, is to align the bags as best as I can, get the vertical control to as center a position as I can. I then place the...

I tried to buy a Gene Beggs wind probe but he has stopped making them. Does anyone know someone else that is making the same quality probe as Gene's? Thanks, Ed

I want to find out what technique experienced Score shooters are using in keeping the front rest and rear bag aligned while moving between the Sighter and the 5 bulls. I know we move the front rest from bull to bull but do you move your rear bag at all to make sure the rifle is tracking...

Thanks Al and goodgrouper, I will use uncoated bullets for the break in. The knowledge of experienced shooters on this forum has saved me many headaches and saved a ton of my time. I truly appreciate all your great advice. I am sure others feel the same way. Ed

Glp, Dennis was referring to the base ring screws that lock down the base to the rings. Ed

I am getting ready to break in a new 30 BR barrel this weekend. I am shooting WS2 coated bullets in my other 30 BR rifle. My barrel break in routine will be cleaning after each shot for the first 10 rounds and then cleaning after 3 rounds for the next 40. I was thinking of shooting the first 10...

Thanks Dick, my rings are the 4 screw version. Ed
