CONGRATULATIONS, Francis! Pretty decent scores, Francis!:eek: RG

The 125 - both 7 & 10 ogive BIB versions- are based on the 1.00" long J4 jacket and work quite well via any twist rate, up to 1:18":for these bullets, at sea level, STd. conditions, a 1:18" twist rate imparts about 1.46 Sg. Of course, faster twists will produce higher Sg and still shoot BR...

CONGRATULATIONS, Ralph! Nice shootin', Ralph! :eek::) Mike, a 500 isn't too shabby either . . nor were the yardage winner's scores - Congratulations to all! Keep 'em ON the X! RG

DITTO the above!:) RG

'Atta Boy, Humble - better to stay off that 600 Yd. stuff, and stick to what ya know! :eek:;) RG

Liseo, if you can obtain Vectan (Nobel Sport) powders, score some Tubal-2000 - for the 30 BR and other short thirty caliber chamberings, this stuff is pretty decent - had I taken advice sooner, I'd have a BIG stash of this powder. . . but I didn't listen soon enough! :eek: :D I'm with Jackie...

DITTO this - I got one, then, bought three more for some of my pals - they are all, now, "don't touch that, or, I'll break yer arm", items!:eek: ;)GREAT tool, Tim! :) RG

Unless something has changed, Berger/J4 will not part with the 'thick jackets', so the options aren't as confusing . . . but, things CHANGE all the time! :D For the 105-108Gr., 6mms, you'll probably want 1.150" long jackets. RG

You may like this - try it. I have one station, set-up this way (about 15 Deg. from horisontal), where I switch presses (Niemi converted RockChuckers and/or my own LEE CLASSIC conversions) to point various small caliber bullets (25 cal and <) and to seat cores (all calibers). At this station, I...

GREAT AGGs for tough conditions! Congratulations, Mike! :) RG

Your barrel will nicely handle all of the BR quality FB bullets of, and up to, a little over 1.10" long - for custom bullets, made with J4 jackets, this will include most any weight between 110 through 136 Gr. . . . and, if made on the 1.080" long jacket, even 150 grains. With the 30x44...

I did the LEE CLASSIC conversions myself (well, with the help of, BIG MIKE, my alter-ego. :eek:). Stu Harvey, long-time BR competitor and bullet maker (a very savvy and crafty sort:)), who lives in the PEOPLES REPUBLIC of KALIFORNIA, then did at least one LEE CLASSIC conversion - maybe more -...

Stanley, I don't recall, ever, seeing it stated any better that this! :eek:;) RG

Gerry, I haven't figured out how to post a pic here, but here's a link to a pic in my photo album on the SGR forum - if dead animal pics bug ya, don't look too far either side of this pic . . . http://www.bench-talk.com/photos/r_g_robinett/picture802.aspx The original B&A design is very well...

Randy, the article you're referring to is from the January 1985 issue of Prescision Shooting, page 16. Dave Brennan prefaced the article with this quote: " Editor's note: Jonas Hallgrimson was a vital part of the evolution of thought and logic that lead to the development of the...

George, Thank you for setting this straight - it was Mr Hallgrimson, who authored the PS article to which I referred . . . the grey matter is getting more murky with age! :D RG

During the late 1940's, Biehler & Astels - from Ice Land no less - invented the single cavity swaging-up process, by which, to this day, all BR quality bullets are formed. In Precision Shooting, I believe during the late 1980's, there was a very well done, informative article published about...

Well done, Mr. Valentine. :) Bullet making isn't 'rocket science': it's simply the common sense use of good tooling to convert lead-wire and excellent jackets into bullets. To learn the fundamentals of bullet making, one of the BEST reads remains the description, by Mike Walker and Emory...

H-4198, N-130, RL-7, H-322, BenchMark, and similar burn-rate powders have all proven useful: like H-4198, the N-130 is usually shot with a "case-full", or, upwards of 34.5 Gr., or, a well compressed charge. Of note, from about 32.0 Gr. up, the H-4198 usually delivers several nice 'sweet-spots'...
