Well, Wilbur, those were my rifles. At the time you shot, I was "Juenke-ing" every bullet. And the brass would have been part of my normal set, neither new nor overly used. I don't remember the day exactly (Do remember you drove your Cadillac, not the Caravan). I think it as the wind --...

Similar discussion in 2012. Better, though. http://benchrest.com/showthread.php?84473-Jacket-manufacturing Y'all seem to forget that consistency over time is an issue with any manufactured product. When Sierra's are good, they are very, very good. Just like J-4's they are not *always* good. So...

Np "point." I had been unaware of how innovative Hermes was in the typewriter industry until Googling "Hermes" because of this post, and stupidly thought others might be interested. Will resist such urges in the future.

I suppose it kinda depends on what you want; what you want to do with the rifle. I have two 52's, a pre-A and a D. I paid $55 for the pre-A in 1958, and $150 for the D in early 1962. I only have one set of sights, Redfield International Match, generally considered a step up from the Olympic...

While not about shooting, Project Guttenberg has thousands of free ebooks, in various formats. http://www.gutenberg.org/ Or a quick link to the the top 100 http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/scores/top The are free because they were written before 1922, and the copyrights have now expired --...

As far as the groups size testing goes, good thinking. Statistically not significant. People who shoot under laboratory conditions (i.e., more variables controlled) would use a minimum of five 5-shot groups, and even that isn't considered conclusive, by them. For yourself, do as you want, but...

http://www.varmintal.com/arelo.htm#Fitted_Necks If you're new, before ya'll go say "Oh, he doesn't know what he's talking about, he's not a benchrest shooter," go look at the topics he does cover, & remember Varmit Al does post to BR Central. When it comes to tuners, we even solicit his...

Interested... hell, man, it's perfect. Maybe even plus quam perfectum -- no, wait, that's past perfect.

Al, it was typeset at one point. And edited. A Word file is probably easier to work from -- it wasn't *typeset* from a paper manuscript (or no wonder PS went out of business). But if not, the typesetting file should have retrievable ASCII.

Boyd, Go & re-read page 75-76 of Rifle Accuracy Facts, & remember the equation works the other way, too. Making one thing "bad" when everything else is "good" doesn't hurt that much. I do believe, and I'm sure will get knocked for it, that a lot of the "must weigh powder charge to .02 grains,"...

I went and looked at my copy of Rifle Accuracy Facts, and apparently the copyright is held by Precision Shooting, not Vaughn & his heirs. The book contract though, may have given Vaughn certain rights vis-a-vis any electronic editions, so I don't know the whole picture. I will say that if...

You think that's odd, you should see our tax code. We have corporations that make billions in profits, pay no taxes, even get a tax credit.

What I wrote Tony in an email, November 18, 2013: I notice you get quite careful with the physical length of the barrel, to the point of subtracting a value of .010 for an 11-degree crown, to arrive at the position of the end of the bore. Yet at the other end, you recommend measuring to...

The Purdy Prescription did not work with my 24 (actually, 24.02) inch barrel. Tony did check my calculated numbers, but of course, he didn't do the actual measuring, so there could be an error there. In passing -- one thing Tony mentioned y'all might have forgotten is the "barrel length" is...

Well, par for the course. I checked your recommendation of the the Maxx scales, for the hell of it. http://www.denverinstrument.com/denverusa/balances/MAXX.php First thing up is then, down below, you see And for every model number you click on, you get Maybe they're in cahoots with...

One thing to remember is that while the 30x47 has been around a long time, most newcomers are thinking of the quite new 6.5x47 Lapua cartridge just necked up to .308. You start with a different case, and usually the shoulder angle of the Lapua chambering is retained -- as is the small primer...

Mike, I don't know if you're aware of this, but there are no moderators anymore, aside from Wilbur and Elmer. They can't be expected to read everything -- they never could. For everyone, what that means is if you really think a thread is getting out of line, email Wilbur (in other words...

And BTW, do this all along the receiver ring, esp. just before the cam on the receiver ring, not just where the bolt is fully closed. Voice of experience.
