Here's my course on the Basics of Seating Depth... First, some terminology and then some fundamentals principles... Hard Jam - this is when the bullet is seated so long in the reloading process that the barrel rifling engages the bullet AND pushes the bullet further into the case when you...

Here's the list - I just pinched this from the NBRSA.org site, so verify the dates, formats, etc. There are a few overlaps, but not many. For what its worth, I've shot as many as 18 weekends in 4 months with this schedule plus a few outside the area -- it can wear out a wallet! Looks like July...

While I setting about designing trophies for our Yellowstone Rifle Club matches this season, I threw together a little plaque to entice some of you to fulfill that bucket list item of a western vacation and shooting out here in the high country... load up the camper and make a loop! If you...

PDTC is back and better than ever!!! - Pictures! The damage was extensive... more than half of the firing line cover was gone and the entire loading area was wadded up (along with a parked shooting trailer) and tossed down the hill. Bill Pond and his gang worked for over a month month straight...

A seller on eBay has a bunch of 30br (17 & 18 twist) suitable barrels posted... figured I would pass along a heads up.

Just to be clear... Hi Richard -- and all of the competitive "B"enchrest shooting community, Just so everyone knows, we do not and have not had any plan to use the legal system to seek any remedy regarding this event. I am not a believer in hiding behind a lawsuit when I have a personal...

reasons The President and Board have their reasons for not disclosing this information which I rightly understand. The plain truth is that their 'smoking gun' is embarrassing. Embarrassing to Audrey. In her anger and frustration with the President for directing her final paycheck to be...

With a great deal of sorrow, I must announce that the NBRSA President and Board of Directors has decided that I am not fit be a member of the NBRSA. My membership has been “immediately and permanently” terminated for “ongoing actions” that can “no longer be tolerated”. As such, I am also no...

My last of set Dewey rods (purchased about 18 months ago) couldn't hardly be pushed through the Nolan guides... after fighting with them for a few matches, I gave up and retired them to shop. replaced them with the stainless rods from Pro Shot, which I've decided I like well enough to not look back.

We started mixing up LT31 when we found that Lot 10 of LT32 seemed too lethargic to be useful... I had 4 jugs of the stuff and decided to try and salvage it. Cut in some LT30 and it suddenly was a game changer. Mixing wasn't really necessary with Lot 1,3, or 6 -- they were hot enough on their...

In reference to why N133 'likes' a lot of neck tension... When powders are manufactured, the kernels are coated with some concoctions to stabilize the flame propagation on the surface of the kernel. Each manufacturer has its own secret sauce, and a lot of time the only difference between some...

Congratulations Brandon! Back in July of 2013 you made the cover of the magazine -- as one of our promising young competitors, not quite tall enough to be able to shoot from your stool. That young fella who wore a bolt holster like a hog-leg now makes his own bullets and does his own...

Unexpected shock... This was a shock to hear... we just spoke to Tom a couple weeks ago and he was inquiring about yet another venture to make shooting more 'profitable'. No sign of even slowing down. Carolyn - our thoughts and prayers go out to you... please let us know if there is anything...

Of course it takes excellent equipment, but I don't believe you can buy your way to top performance, nor do I believe you need to. I've been playing since 2006, and the rifle I shoot has been with me since the beginning. I finally got a backup I trust a couple years ago. They share barrels, and...

Congrats... Congratulations to Jeff on his first 2-Gun win!! I traveled and shot with Jeff all last summer... he's an awesome competitor who has been playing the game less than two years. I expect to see his name at the top of a lot of these result sheets in the coming years. He's definitely...

Ditto Jackie... I use the sine wave pattern as a way to judge my neck turning performance. A solid line up on the neck means the necks are too thick, down on the shoulder means they are too thin. Good clear sine wave means just right. The sine waves correspond to the lands and grooves in the...

MikeinCO Just reading through this thread some more... did Mike move to San Diego? Yo... Mike (if you're out there) ... Did you make it to the LR Nats in Sacremento? Rod

I've probably spent as much time working on this one problem as anyone in the sport for the last 7 years. I've driven over 20,000 miles and attended an average of 18 registered matches for each of the last 10 years... talked with match directors, hundreds of shooters, and had numerous...

A well-respected bullet maker from Casper WY told me about doing the same project (6-223) last winter. He said he loved it for 'yotes and p-dogs. He makes a super-light 6mm (if I remember something like 40-45 gr) bullet just for that gun -- practically just a jacket with a spot of lead in the...

Scope has been located... Thanks All! Rod
