I have a friend who has a .243 AI 8 twist Krieger, and based on his, your velocities seem to be quite low. How did you do your workup? Also, I second the wind flags. With wind, testing at 200, without them you are basically pissing into it. He and some friends shoot plates out to 1,200, 1'dia at...

With his passing, Dennis left a big hole in Benchrest. Many will miss him. RIP. We are truly diminished. He was an exceptional person, a fine example.

Do you really think that the top shooters would be loading at the range if they could win preloading? Are you planning on shooting registered matches? If you are serious, copy the winners.

Obviously there are a lot of people out there who do not understand benchrest at all. This is not a criticism, just an observation. Hopefully we have a teachable moment here. Competitive benchrest rifles ( I am speaking of short range group competition here.) have to be capable of shooting five...

Dick, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Boyd

I have shot matches at a range that has benches 5' on center. I would not under any circumstances build benches any closer than that. IMO ranges should be designed so that a LH shooter can shoot next to a right handed one any place on the range. I have to laugh thinking back to a match where the...

When the PPC first came about brass was fire formed from SAKO .220 Russian brass. In order to have the desired clearance and have the necks clean up a chamber neck diameter of .262 was probably the most common. When other brass that would clean up at a greater thickness came along, shooters who...

IMO when you are shooting a stock that is too short for you you compensate by sitting more square to the line of the barrel and tend to lean your head more sideways than forward to deal with eye relief. One thing that shooters may not be aware of is body contact with their rear bag, which may...

Just now I looked at the SAAMI drawing for the chamber of a .22-250 and the freebore calculates to .0607 with a tolerance of +.015. The throat angle was listed as 2 degrees per side. Where did you get your information?

The only reasons that I would buy CM are either aesthetic, or as I stated earlier, where stainless would not be safe, due to temperature. I have not done any classic, high grade walnut and blued steel builds, so all of the barrels that I have put on have been stainless.

Several years back I helped a couple of friends spec' out matching lightweight mountain rifles. Due to the contour, caliber and anticipated temperatures in which they were to be used Krieger told us that 416 stainless would not be suitable. We used Ceracoated chromoly barrels and they worked...

Back in the day, someone told me that a proper tip has two radii. A large one at the center and a tighter one at the edge. I think that you would want to do a little more than break the edge but not come back too far down the side. If you do, you will create space in the front of the hole for a...

Both types of files opened for me. Thanks for posting.

Thanks to a suggestion from Mike Bryant, I stole a Sherr Tumico 0-9 oz. dynamometer off of Ebay, for a paltry $35 delivered, in perfect condition in a lined case. This is THE way to measure light triggers. The competition model came in at 1/1-2 oz. and passed a very vigorous deer rifle suitable...

Coil. I have owned a number of different brands of "2 oz." triggers. They all made the rifle go bang when they were pulled. I guess that after the first one was available, the rest were superfluous. Just kidding. Why do we have so many actions, stock, or barrel makers? Why do we need more than...

I have one each of the model with the safety, and the competition model that does not have one. They both are very well made, with great attention to detail and elegantly precise machining. The safety was the starting place for the design,and except for it being omitted in the competition model...

In reference to 133, are you seeing this variation by weight or by volume? In the past I have read that different lots were pretty close when charges of the same weight were compared.
