I have some brass that I'm trying to save. I was forming 20 VarTarg brass from 221 FB and made the brass a little short, therefore the headspacing was short. Is it possible to fireform the brass using the COW method with bullseye power or would it be safer to just dump the brass. Thanks, I'll...

Failure to extract. The rifle is not mine. I shoot a Hall. I know Mr. Stiller was contacted, but he said that issue has never been reported to him. That's really all I know about the issue.

I've seen one 2500X (rimfire) that will not eject the rounds. I've heard there's more, but have only seen one. When the action was new, it was flawless, but after several seasons of BR it developed a periodic problem of not ejecting the spent round. After it was worked on many times and a few...

1. What base are you using? 2. How long have you used it? 3. Shooting at 50 yards, can you cover the complete target or do you still to adjust the top up and down and right to left?

I've been looking for a joy-stick style rest for rimfire benchrest that doesn't cost as much as my rifle does. Has anyone used this rest that is made by Shadetree Engineering & Accuracy? What you're buying is only the top. You have to use your own base and top bag.

This makes a sense. I think Joe needs to clarify exactly what "Factory Class" means. If something like this comes up just before a state or national match, there could be a lot of issues if the rules are not completely clear.

Hmmmm. KIDD offers a barrel that starts at a .920 and tapers to .700 which would allow it within the Factory Class of .750 maximum. So, if the rifle is ordered with the tapered barrel, .920 to .700, could it be used? It seems like the KIDD should be able to be used if the Remington, Marlin...

Thank you very much. That's what I needed to know.

I was reviewing the rules under the ABRA Factory Class rifles and was curious what people are using. After reading the rules, it appears a KIDD Supergrade model or a Volquartsen rifle would be acceptable. 10. ABRA (Factory) Class Rifle 10.1 There is no restriction on scope power. 10.2 You...

Thanks, but an 8 hour drive is a little too far for a day of shooting.

I read on Rimfire Central that there is F Class for .22 rimfire. Does anyone know if this is being held anywhere in the Houston Texas area?

Dialing in VS Hold off This is an interesting discussion. I see where most here dial in the scope for the prevailing conditions and slightly holding off the ten ring. When conditions change, do you dial in again on the sighters or just wait out the conditions? Is there a reason not to hold...

I shoot a 40X free recoil. I shoot a little better when the wind is coming in from the right and moving to the left, but still do well with a left to right wind. However when the wind is coming in from one side and immediately switches to the opposite side , this is a problem. Most of the...

Is there a rule of thumb to use when choosing how much weight to use when making a wind indicator?

Do you chrono your test loads?

40X Shilen Rachete, w/tuner, Hall firing pin, Robertson stock, Weaver T36 (10.4 lbs) Sinclair front rest with Papas top, large Edgewood rear bag. I used the Hopewell method when setting up the tuner. I first set it up at 25 yards on a day with very little wind. I then moved the target out to...

Wow this is surprising. No one here test lots of ammunition and then buys as much as they can of the lot that shoots best in their rifle?

1. How many rounds of a particular lot do you usually use when testing? 2. Do you use a chronograph? 3. Is there a place to purchase just enough rounds for testing or is just individual boxs of several different lots purchased for testing? 4. Do you use a weather meter similar to the...

I used the Hopewell method when I set up my tuner. I had my target at 25 yards and when it was good there, I moved it to 50 yards and did the fine tuning.
