    Benchrest Heavy Class and Tapered barrels (information required)

    WBC rules require a tapered barrel in HV & LV. The rule is Barrel May be 1.25” in diameter up to 5”ahead of bold face.- From this point it must taper to 0.900” at 29" Given the WBC rules were developed from the NBRSA rules I am assuming no one has proposed any changes to these rules. The...

    Lathe

    I'm also a hobbyist and I bought a 16 x 40 that is sold in Europe as the KnuthV turn 410. When I bought it I fitted a Newall DRO with CSS. I've found it to be an excellent lathe, although a bit long through the headstock for short barrels, but this can be worked around. One of the features I...

    grizzly gunsmith lathe G0509G

    The "pro version" does not have a threading dial, even though the sales brochure shows it, the sales rep I contacted confirmed that it didn't. This means you would need to keep the 1/2 nuts engaged from start to finish when threading metric or imperial. I have the same machine you have linked...

    Lathe Stand

    I see many light duty stands for so called benchtop lathes, many are made of sheet metal some bigger lathes have solid cast base plinths, one for the headstock and one for the tailstock end, and others are on a monolithic base. A machinery seller once told me a lathe he once bought could take...

    Precision Shooting

    It's a wonder some of those out of print books that Precision Shooting and some other companies put out aren't available in pdf format. What are the legalities of reproducing the PS reloading manual now that PS don't exist anymore? Ian

    Annealing made perfect aztec sort

    If you do a bit of math, and depending on how many cases you prep for a barrel, you would be able to determine the number of firings on each case (approx) you would accumulate during a match. So to make it easy 20 cases and fire approx 200 - 250 rounds at a match (tune, practice, LV & HV) then...

    Does left hand shooter need left hand rifle?

    Instead of answering the question about what rifle a left hand shooter should use I'm going to ask a different question. How many right handed shooters use a left bolt left port, or left bolt right port rifle?? Another question would be why do so many right handed shooters use a right bolt...

    Barrels

    I agree with those that say it is a "system" and that some rifles shoot better than others. Several years ago I had a rifle built and that rifle shot pretty good it even managed top 20 at the SS, but when I squeezed the forend and barrel together it seemed to be quite flexible. Two years after...
