Plug in some numbers from the actual bullet and if I'm reading it right, 16.5" twist is optimal. Note that this barrel was not intended for this bullet but for a range between 130/150s. I shot the 130 Sierras for years in the 12 twist Douglas and Harts but, Sierra stopped production of them a...

Straight from Sierra.....No jackets available at this time. Dealers will be notified first. Reloading International has 3000 of 1.375" in stock. For what it's worth.....The 100 grain FB Varmint shoots. The only thing I plan on doing is a tighter point up on some and test. I received in...

I test all the time but with my wild cats. I left the 7br years ago. thought about going back to it when Sierra released the 100 grain varmint. In the past ten years though, I've been playing with taking the 284 Winchester and shortening it to various lengths. This version, I was playing with...

Your killing me George !!!.....LOL The 100 grain bullet in the BR will do well. I decided to go to a much bigger boiler room, and still experiment with the lightest bullets I can get my hands on. Currently it's the 100 gr FB Sierra Varmint. I have it shooting in the ones, and have not had...

The NF Comp is highly regarded on the line for it's clarity and light weight. Besides March, where I can get by on a heavy gun, I run the NF Comp DDR-2 floating dot. I prefer a dot while others a fine cross hair. For PRS, the DDR-2 reticle would be a better choice for holds.

I wont have anything definitive for a couple of weeks. I have the barrel done and started testing, so far with good results, but I need to get further along on that bullet press......Still eying those Seb X L-bags seriously. for what I have in mind. I have the 7.2 cat of mine posted up on...

I'll set my scopes parallax adjustment to the "infinity" setting first, then looking at a bright cloudless sky, I focus the reticle.

PM him on Accurate Shooter. He's currently in with Alnyhus (SP) on a bullet making and press conversion thread. It's a long one.....

I just cut the tension plate. The top itself needs cut to coincide for the same clearance.

I need to set up the mill for the bullet press project, but took a couple of minutes to go ahead and do a clearance slot on the right side tension plate. Now with everything centered, I have 6.625" between plates. I could gain about another 1/4" by facing off the inside of the left plate...

Castor is not talked about a lot if any but, I had several high speed punch press dies our shop had built for the older Ma' Bell switchers. Material was a thin strip copper alloy not unlike bullet jacket. Lube to keep everything together was 100 percent castor. May be worth picking up some Klotz...

New L-bags for the Seb - X rests look inviting. Down the road, may have to contact Biisop or Ratigan about these. Lot's of squirrels running around in the head......

We are pretty much on the same page. Cutting the top in half crossed my mind since It's only used for experimentation. My thoughts at this point are to mill a slot in the right tension plate so that it can slide into the square riser post. That adds more side to side space. I'd then reposition...

I need to take a few more measurements, but I may have a viable plan. The first measurements does show an off set problem. This could cause a weight shift problem but also could be corrected with the springs under the bridge. Maybe a heavier spring to the offset side for...

I jotted down a couple of ideas some time back but got lost in the shuffle. I do know my plan was to get a hold of Protecktor and have them do a custom bag for me, then build around that. I still have all the original top parts that look about the same as you are currently using. I need to...

It's an anti brain fart device.....My guns run at 22 lbs. and have a real good balance set up on the counter weight springs. I just swap rifles and go. Early on when I first started using the rest, I noticed the bridge was drifting down, then it got to the point that I ran out of joy stick to...

It never ends Dave !! I've been using mine for a couple of years now. Made my own non skid 3" feet, and my own top to run 4" wide stocks. Top is actually very similar to an original Bald Eagle, and I already had quite a few bags I like. Gone is the forward stops. all my custom chassis have the...
