Monte: If it is within the F-Open rules, I suspect that you will start seeing more off-set fore ends on stocks to account for the torque of the magnums. I know you shoot sling as well so you know how much easier it is to control the recoil than with the F-Class rig. In F-Class (and 1000 yd...

Just an observation. I May have been the first to champion the 284 Shehane in prone competition at 1000. I went to this chambering because I knew that the 7mm was the best balistic product till you got to heavy 30 cal bullets. With a standard bolt face, I have had no problem in reaching 2950...

You shot a pinwheel "X" on that statement. Jim Hardy

Canuck: You can have both. Get a no-turn neck reamer that gives you .002 to .003 clearance on a loaded round. If you want to turn for .004 to .005 clearance, no problem. I have grown to love .004 clearance with .002 neck tension as that has worked in long range competition with every gun I...

The Shehane works very well with H4831SC and H4350. Other powders that have worked well are N560, 7828SC, RL-22, and MRP. A great fire forming load for the Shehane is 54 grains of H4831SC. It will only be running at 2800 max, but it will be very accurate. I would give you exact loads for the...

Ray: I agree with you. A left port is very fast with or without an ejector. However, when I shot a left port, I always worried about a blown primer close to my face. Thereafter, with large magnum cases, I went with a right/right just for safety reasons. Jim Hardy

German: It sounds like we have located the mother load! I would love to buy 20 of the CR 106's that are the same OAL. I will do what I do to the bullets and send them to you for testing -- or just shooting in a 1000 yard prone match. I would love to see your results out of your 6XC. I know...

Damon: You reasoning is simplistic -- and exactly dead center. Extra BC comes with the package in most instances, but it is ALL about consistent BC, i.e., consistent vertical at long range. Those of us who "play" with "tricks" to get the BC up usually just do it because we enjoy it. German's...

Charles: 1% ??????? I am not going to bite, and I am not going there for many reasons. All I can say is Wow. Jim

I have never used Kevin's tooling on 338 or 30 cal bullets, but I have used it on 7mm Hybirds. I was impressed with the quality and performance of his products. I think that Kevin's site will give you more helpful info on the subject. Jim

Bryan: With your credentials and position with Berger -- as well as your World Class shooting ability -- you may have more upon your shoulders than you realize. Who has this combo to advance the application of long range ballistics to our long range games? No one that I can think of...

Charles: Keep "pushing" as it is the "pushing" that refines any analysis and final result. Jim

Charles: Do you remember the lot of Hornady A-Max 6mm bullets that shot so well for Bob Crone? They really hammered. After that lot was gone (he had a substantial supply), the next lot forced him back to the green box. I know you remember the sorting done by Charles Bailey with his Berger...

Mikecr: If I recall correctly, the 106 CR had a rather large meplat like many costom bullets. That is one reason that closing the meplat on that bullet made such a large difference as the % of closure to the 6mm dia was more. You bring up another very interesting topic: the secondary...

Super: I would respectfully suggest that you need to read the old thread links found on the 4th page of the thread just a few below this one -- entitled something like "bullet trimming and meplat closing" -- if that is the wrong title, it is close for the purpose of you finding it. Read all...

Charles: Check out the old threads I found. After I posted the titles, someone posted the links. (Info in the prior thread on this board). The 58 bullets that Jason tested came from me out of the Pindell die. You can read all that info in the old links. Additionally, the old links show the...

Charles: I have found the old threads. I don't know how to attach them here, but it would be very interesting in light of the current thread and 20/20 hindsight. The first thread of interest was started by John Kielly on 12-29-07, entitled "Pointing Tools -- Whats the deal? The second...

If you are looking for the BC, I believe that Henry Childs (dang good source) tested the 147 CR at .625 using the G1 criteria. Good luck, Jim Hardy

Charles: In the case you describe, my chances might be very good. Did the kid confess? Are there any witnesses? Would his juvenile record even be admissible in whole or in part as a similar transaction -- knife v. gun? Where is the gun? Who is it registered to? If the kid confessed, and...

Charles: Yes, I know how to get the meplats closed like darts on nice 6mm VLDs. However, on the 6mm CR 106s I sent to Jason -- as well as the ones I tested in the prone at Camp Butner at 1000 -- I did NOTHING but close the meplats. Keep in mind that I asked Jason to test 58 of thes bullets...
