    Wonder why there are fewer jobs in the USA?

    Joe I had to laugh at that.......you should try employing people in NZ, even if you catch them stealing from the employer you can't fire them.........9 times out of 10 the employee would win a wrongfull dismisal case.......Kiwi

    UPS vs USPS

    For International shipping USPS and those flat rate boxes are absolutely fantastic...........just seems a lot of companies don't/won't use them for International shipping. Best service I ever got was when Bald Eagle sent me a rear bag ordered on Monday (US time) recieved in NZ on Thursday (which...

    Defiantly an interesting rule, but if so many are attaining the highest score possible how long will it be before the first 10 or so top places are setting world records. Then who would be the record holder? Would it be the tenth place getter who fired his last record breaking shot after...

    Column Projectiles

    Al your post is very informative, I assume the "lead-line-sweet-spot" varies for each die and it's a matter of finding that spot. If you had two dies that are the same caliber and ogive would that sweet spot be the same for each die or would it be different for each die?..........Ian

    Probably no Registered Matches at Tomball in 2013

    I whole heartedly agree with the above........doesn't seem to matter where in the world you are some Benchrest shooters just don't help at all when it comes to running a match.........Ian

    Anyone use the roller bearing on their 2 lug BAT bolt?

    I think the round hanging up as it feeds into the chamber causing you to pull the bolt back slightly is caused by the ejector being a wee bit long and the rim of the case is catching on the ejector. I had this problem with my Bat B..........Ian

    Lathe question

    Butch I would like to see a thread addressing these issues also, especially by some with experience in chambering and some qualified engineers. One other thing I would like to see discussed is can someone with little to no engineering/lathe experience produce the same results as a qualified...

    New base for my lathe

    The machine dealer I bought my lathe from told me about several lathes that had had the cabinet filled with concrete, said the mass improved the performance of all the lathes........just make sure it's in the right place before filling the cabinet, especially on some of the bigger lathes. Lee...

    new guy on here with a few questions

    Since I shoot short range BR I'm not sure what type of presses are used by the competitors loading for FTR, so while the Hood press may work I would talk to people shooting and loading for FTR and find out what works and what doesn't that way you can buy equipment suitable for loading for FTR...

    If you Really want Benchrest to grow

    So if this is the response from the shooters about registering the matches with IBS or NBRSA, how would changing anything in IBS or NBRSA convince those shooters to register the matches?? Why do they NOT want to shoot in registered matches?? Ian

    Growing the IBS

    Mike I've never seen a bolt action BR shooter eject cases further than the top of the bench. I shoot rimfire BR and a few years ago used a BSA Martini MkII, these rifles eject cases quite well and boy did I get a few comments when I let my cases get away from the top of the bench. I learnt that...

    Growing the IBS

    Mike I know the economy sucks but not everyone is living from payday to payday and I don't think IBS or NBRSA can fix that.......cost is a factor but as a couple of people, LHSmith and Mike Bryant pointed out you don't need the latest and greatest to start shooting Benchrest. I still don't see...
