    30br powders

    IMO, the two best subs for H4198 are N130 and LT30. Given the money you save buying an 8lb of N130 vs same amount of LT30, N130 is a no brainer. I have tried both and see no difference in my rifle barrel. My guess is that if H4198 ever becomes available again, they will want $400 or more for...

    Jewell Triggers

    Some may have stockpiles but they aren't going to cannabalize a good trigger for a disfunctional one. Its advertised with a Jewell because that's prolly the way it was built. I have Jewells that have never give a problem, then I have some that went back for repair. No more repairs so if those...

    Information on Trophy brand rifle action

    Wayne, thanks for the info. FYI its in a dark blue stock with what looks like an air brushed eagles head on the right side of the butt stock. I hope this shooters purchase isn't one of the ones you mentioned! --Greg

    Information on Trophy brand rifle action

    A fellow shooter just acquired a nice 6PPC rifle with a "Trophy" branded action. It looks like a HALL M clone or darn close to it. Any information on the company that made it would be appreciated. Thanks --Greg

    Where to get Hodgdon H4198 powder for 30BR Benchrest ammo

    Yes any website that wants you to pay with zelle or bitcoins, etc. or will not accept a credit card is to be avoided like the PLAGUE! Most of these sites will also let you buy 50 or 100,000$ worth of hard to get products, another give away.

    Ricky Read has left the range (article by Gary Slawik)

    Gary My condolence to you and his family. I know you two were friends beyond description and I'm sorry for your loss. Ricky was a great fellow and a consumate benchrest shooter. I always marveled at his accomplishments with that Hart 1A action and a Weaver T36. I shot near or next to him at...

    This may not matter a whole lot to most folks

    Pete, can't do that anymore. We have to hurry up so we can get home! In the end, its my opinion that the 6X scope is the one aspect of a hunter or VH rifle that limits its popularity. You should open a discussion with the current board regarding the caliber thing. It may help the class, but with...

    1/4 drive torque wrench?

    For torquing action screws in a bedded benchrest hunter rifle for instance, 35 in lbs isn't enough.

    Federal Primers are changing formula?

    I wonder what these little "thermite grenades" are going to do to barrel steel, especially in the first few inches ahead of the chamber?

    Tough Kimber mainspring

    Going too light on an auto's mainspring risks imparting damage to the gun's frame or slide. Think a Colt Gold Cup, designed for mid-range target loads being shot a lot with hardball with no change in mainspring. Not a good idea. Everything is a compromise one way or the other.

    DYI Scope Repair

    There is a differnece between nitrogen purged, and nitrogen filled imo. Someone earlier mentioned a chamber with a positive purssure nitrogen feed for final assembly so as to keep dust out. If some scopes are sealed, meaning nitrogen filled and built to keep it inside, I'm not aware of which...

    DYI Scope Repair

    That is so easy to do on a Unertl or Lyman STS if you don't realize what those two screws are holding, just ahead of the eyepiece.

    Bob Dodd Passed 2-13-22

    Sorry to hear of the loss to you and all of benchrest. I had one of his actions in the past and he was very helpful with some questions I had about it.

    Unertl question

    The screw on the ring tightens it down at your desired location. When the rifle fires it recoils back but the scope stays put. You have to pull it back against the tightened down stop ring or use a compressed spring to do that for you if the scope has one. Some do, some don't. Yes there is a...
