  2. Carbon ring question/illusion?

    So with my cheap but decent Lyman borecam, I can see the carbon ring I think. I cleaned it several times. But is it possible I may also be seeing a shadow created by the light on the borecam and not actually a carbon ring? Thanks
  3. 1-200 yd benchrest, fine line vs fine line with dot?

    Hey all. I am getting my benchrest scope replaced. I am new to this, so because the manufacturer gave me an option, which is better. Plain fine line reticle, or fine line reticle with a dot. The second is what I have now, but the straight fine line reticle with no dot sounds...

  11. Is ultrasonic cleaner the way to go?

    I currently use a traditional tumbler. But it seems the rotary tumblers and ultrasonic do a much better job. Not cleaning large volumes or brass. May be 100 lapua cases at a time after a BR match. Any advise? I like the idea of it not taking 3 hours and having to deal with all the...
  12. One of those days.....

    I love these days at a match, where everything seems great, your about to finish first in your rifle class. Your on the last target, shoot your sighter, lands on an 10x. Go over to the target, same wind conditions and it’s 1.5 inches off. Go back to the sighter, shoot another 10x, back to...
