Cliff and his team at Northern Colorado Benchrest Shooters put on an awesome Firewalker match. The target crew was incredible as they gathered, and scored ALL the targets throughout the two full days. In the end it was Lowell Frei who had the 2-gun Grand Agg with a 0.2525". Lowell was...

In the attached picture are two groups that have four shots overlaying each other and a fifth shot that opens it up quite a bit. I'm thinking it is something I am doing but I don't know what. Please let me know what you think might have happened. On the top target it was the 5th shot that...

I read the "Secrets of the Houston Warehouse" article posted as a sticky in this section and have a question. At the very end of the article Virgil is said to have implied something about case prep as being very important to reduce group size. Does anyone know what secret that was? At a...

If you have had experience with the Edgewood bag called "The Dropout" tell us what you think -- good and bad.

I'm new at this and getting equipment together to take part in local matches this summer. Presently I'm able to mount the powder dispenser on the edge of a bench. But I'm wondering if there are better locations for the powder dispenser? Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions. -- Todd

I've got another dumb newbie question for you seasoned short range benchrest folks. How clean does the barrel bore need to be to be competitive in the BR game? If some carbon is left on the lands and groves is that detrimental? If there is ANY carbon build up at the case neck to freebore...

My first attempt at developing a load for my short range benchrest rifle went well. I used Tony Boyer's approach as described in his book step by step using a 68 grain Hottenstein and N133 for the 6PPC. This was for a used barrel that came on the rifle I bought used. I had a barrel chambered...

I'm having a little trouble when I turn the necks on some Lapua 220 Russian brass which has had the neck expanded up to 6mm. The turning Arbor starts into the neck with a slight amount of interferance, (which is good), but when the Arbor gets in far enough to be at the neck/shoulder junction it...

The general "rule of thumb" when choosing a neck bushing diameter is to subtract 0.002" to 0.003" off of the neck diameter on a loaded round. Does this hold true for the 6mm PPC cartridge?

I'm very new to benchrest shooting and noticed something that doesn't seem right but I don't know how to fix it. After I align front rest and rear bag with the target I place the rifle in the bags and moderately pound the rear of the stock into the rear bag. Then I get behind the rifle and...

Is there a preferred Reamer for the 6mm PPC these days?

What do you think of the MechForce barrel vice?

I'm getting geared up to try some short range benchrest using a 6PPC LV rifle. What are people using for a sizer and seater on their competition rifle?

Before I bombard you all with questions that have been asked millions of times, is there someplace that describes the basics in equipment, loading, and technique for short range benchrest? Thanks -- Todd
