  1. Rifle or me - Conclusion

    Link, I have no idea what "NYSSL" is? But having said that and in response to your flier issue, in my experiences of shooting Rimfire Competition and doing quite well, I can say that your issue is probably a combination of three factors....you, the rifle and the ammunition you are shooting...

  2. Why Ruger M-77 are not the choice for rebarreling or modifications.

    +1....Somebody hasn't looked in the right places and has info that is flat wrong. JRS just gave the RP good info and TWO sources that can take care of his M77 needs and other Smiths will switch barrels that the owner even provides. And on the South West Coast, there are also a number of...

  3. Opinions on Nikon Monarch 5 in 3x-15x-42mm?

    Look at it this way...you get what you pay for. Its the end of the year and all the floor models. returns and older model scopes are being sold off at good pricing and savings. If that scope floats your boat, you for it. Personally, I sold off my last Nikon about 4 - 5 yrs ago and bought much...

  4. Whidden Custom Dies

    Well after all the raving reviews of Whidden Dies, let me add another. I recently bought another members USED Whidden .260 Remington Die. That means that die was made for someone else's chamber because I have the reamer that was used to cut mine. And I primarily use Redding S Dies that have...

  5. Necking down (wildcat)

    IMHO, if its UNFIRED NEW BRASS and you do not fireform it, in my experiences the data IS TAINTED for bug hole shooting. I've found new brass has to go through the expansion/contraction process one or two times to be consistent for score. But since you aren't using this brass for BR score, it's...

  6. Separating LC brass by year?

    Do what riflewoman wrote. I'd switch to Lapua which is far more consistent in brass rather than testing the LC brass any further. I've personally been down that road before and Lapua brass is better quality which results in better and more consistent groups. But I will say your groups look...

  7. Condolences to the Kline family

    Matt, I am deeply saddened by your loss and can only offer my most sincere condolences to you and your family. All the Kline family will be in my daily thoughts and prayers. You've always been a good friend in both good times and bad. May the Good Lord be with you and your family in these...

  8. short range 6BR build

    I shoot a 25" Kreiger 1:12 - 1.250 - .980 (that has been chambered specifically for 68 gr Barts FB's (VVN133) and Bergers 68gr FB's (Varget) with a short freebore (.045). I shoot only 100 yds and get fantastically tight 5 shot groups when I do my part. The edge though goes to the 68 gr Barts...

  9. would you change it.

    Like Bully said, go shoot it and find out how she shoots before messing with it. And don't set unrealistic expectations on her accuracy as of she was a custom built AR15. I bought the S&W MP 15 Sporter for my Son-in-law a year ago or so and he's an Army Ranger having served tours in Iraq and...

  10. Barrel indexing vs muzzle jump

    Thats actually for the Boys in the Hood who can't figure out what's up and what's down. They BAD!

  11. Jewell/Remington 700 problem

  12. finding the lands

    Richard, We may disagree about what Eric's article suggests, but even he specifies that his article discusses Berger VLD's and doesn't promote his method for all bullets. That assumption by some could lead to issues some may not have considered. Alex

  13. TOO many variables with my 6 BR-AI ???

    Although I'm not convinced that it isn't the powder lots, I have started to believe that ambient temp plays a significant role in how well it shoots one day and how that same load tends to open up on a colder day and at a different hour of testing. Not really sure which it is. But I do know...

  14. finding the lands

    Respectfully, it has nothing to do with a fear of anything when we start testing a load. But it strikes me that if you start with a jam, you are automatically removing your ability to fine tune a load AND you are driving up the pressure of the load you are testing which gives you a false read...

  15. What equipment do you use for Case Prep?

    I have and use the Lyman Prep Center ONLY for my AR reloading and NOT for centerfire Precision Rifle reloading. IMHO, the prep center does a good job..... HOWEVER, Precision Reloading and shooting requires more careful and meticulous case preparation including cleaning, shoulder angle...

  16. A question about bullet length

    AS the others have said, different lots of the same weight/caliber of bullets vary, sometimes more so, depending on the manufacturer. And part of the reason is that when there is a run (manufacturer making up bullets) on bullets, they may run them on various and different machines. They then...

  17. Improved version reamer dimension

    After reading your question, if I were you, I would call Dave Kiff at Pacific Tool and Gauge and talk to him about the specifics of what you are trying to accomplish. Whenever I have a new rig built and I am going to use a specific bullet, Dave has been very helpful in suggesting and supplying...

  18. Hearing test

    Well lets be specific.......your are referring to a "OTOLARYNGOLOGIST" who specializes in Hearing Loss as well as other related gland illnesses and issues. These are the doctors who will perform surgery if your hearing can be revived. I've seen two of these fine doctors over the years and both...

  19. Hearing test

    1shot, I have an audiologist whom I get to see often because of a significant hearing loss. My last check a couple of months ago shows I only have 45% of hearing left and I have irrepairable hearing loss, that according to specialists I've seen as well as my audiologist. Too many years of...

  20. Starting out target shooting with an old 40XB

    I'd say thats pretty good for just "starting out." And as you probably know, factory ammo isn't as good as hand loads. So if you decide to venture into that area as well, you may want to consider tuning your loads at 200 yds and that way your 100 target will look even better. But have fun and...
