I did do a search first. Concensus not good.............

What is common for 100-200yd benchrest ?

Mike, My hope is to see a .5 group every now and then along with expecting a few 1.0 hope for an adverage of .75in

Its a LMT MWS, Internet postings say its a sub MOA rifle with good factory amo all day. A good hand load has them at .75 to even .50 (as the internet goes= maby fired through key boards). Im a benchrest shooter at a small club , did great in rimfire and going to persue centerfire with a true...

I thought the expanding ball of a convental die can cause problems with ginking the neck crooked.

Same goes for bullet seating die (looking at Redding Match set). I have standard FL dies and seater.. I'm wondering if there's a worthwild accuacry gain having a factory chamber. For ar-10 type rifle. Thanks

I have been given good info on current reading material on the subject, but........ Its not winter and im not waiting for a book to get sent out and read at this point in the season. So..... 100-200yd benchrest, 6ppc ,65gr barts HPBT,n133 or h322. The mix between powder load and neck tension...

This is good stuff....thanks Guys.

I was reading a book :The Benchrest Shooting Primer about a suscesfull shooter that loads this way. I guiess the key was to have a real close fitting neck (under .001) and not to use Hot loads. He would just replace the primer, drop the powder, insert the bullet long with his fingers. I assume...

Fire how may groups per load before going up or down ? 100-200yd Benchrest 6ppc

I'll start by asking how may 5 shot groups do you fire at _ _ _ Yards to determine what that load really does ? I assume when this is found you will vary power as needed for the next time out if not performing the same ? Adam

Barrel torque was ok (no movement at 100ft lbs) Replaced scope--problem solved-- Loaded 25 rounds: 2 different bullets/different powders/varied loads/most no neck tension, bullets loose in neck. 100yds (5) 5 shot group total average .4 (best .250) Thanks Everyone ....Greg of Kelby's...

Thanks Charles, I do have a go gauge and did check headspace (purchased tools to dis-assemble bolt to do this correctly). I have checked bases and rings 1st thing. This week I plan to replace the scope and re-check barrel torqu. (I think I set it at 60ftlbs not 100).--Im hopeing for a...

Thanks again Greg, Its a frustrating thing. You are spot on for the details. Its clearer to me why a bore scope was not used. I will post on what happens with a different scope and barrel re-torqu. To bad you did not offer a trade in on a new rig I may have jumped on it. Adam

Like I said, He was nice , spent "his" time with me to try to help. Im offering a bag of worms for him to make money on. I can't blame them. Im not mad. Maby he is dead on with the scope thing and was doing me a favor to try that first. Im not trying to bad mouth Kelby's at all. Adam

well....I went to Kelby's. I thought I would post what I was told and what I told Greg. Greg evidently is involved hands on building rifles. My story: Purchased a Used LV BR rifle w/scope, (I failed to get any info on the loads it likes, only because I thought it would not be pertant due to...

Ive done this to.

I can admit it ...It was before I shot it. Im tempted to try my hand at doing a barrel job as Bruno has a Shilen Barrel for $230 something. I have the 11" Rockwell late, finish reamer, Test indicator ect. Just have not made spiders yet. Trying a different bullet is a good idea.

HovisKM, Good advise , Im a hobbie machinist i grasp the concepts of doing the Job , I just need a good rifle as a base line to compare any changes I make and to see what a "correct job looks like". This is why Im leaning towards Having Kelbys do the job. I will have the old barrel to...
