    Bench manners

    Todde, you did great in your first cf match, against several really good shooters. Do what works for you but keep in mind that a one piece rest automatically puts you in Unlimited class with UBR. I personally prefer a good joystick rest for various reasons but they can take a bit of getting...

    Thorroclean

    Rather than getting into a debate about cleaners, I suggest you talk with your barrel maker for his thoughts on Thoroclean or any abrasive cleaners. I don't think the product itself is bad but there are many instances of it being used in such a way that has done more harm than good. Too much of...

    30 br N133

    It can shoot down there but you won't likely get much for speed with n133. I don't think you can get enough n133 in a 30br.

    How to Score errant shot?

    That's how I've seen it handled more than once. Not saying it's right or wrong but I can see the logic both ways. Pretty much, if the shot cuts, even a little, the record "square", it's a zero. If not..it's a sighter or whatever.

    One Off BR Chassis Build for a 7BR, and Bullets, and Rest.....

    It'll work like that but behind vs in front of the muzzle is a bigger factor that one might think. If someone believes that tune happens at a "node", it wouldn't work at all because we can't physically move a node to the end of a cantilevered beam. But, since we tune to anti-nodes, it can...

    One Off BR Chassis Build for a 7BR, and Bullets, and Rest.....

    Hmmm. Gary, A bunch of people are running my tuners on bbls all the way up to 1.450 straights. The standard model blends in pretty nicely on 1.250's. Tons of people are running them like that. Not sure what you're referring to by "thick" bbl. Lol! Neat project you have going! You're always...

    Freedom benchrest

    I do like the format in terms of what classes shoot when, and the yardage change. It looks like a more efficient way to get in all classes in a shorter amount of time. Friday LV 100 - morning HV 100- afternoon Saturday Unlimited 100 morning 5 shot Unlimited 200 afternoon 5 shot Sunday HV 200...

    I don't think Wayne was referring to the mods comment in blue.:)

    Freedom benchrest

    No dog in this fight at this time so I'll only say that simple rules are working well in ubr. The Custom class is simple enough...3 inch forearm, 13.5lbs and 30 cal or less. They have an Unlimited class for anything else with only a 30 cal max restriction. Even rail guns are allowed. Another...

    Dimensioned .220 Russian Case Diagram

    A 220 Beggs looks exactly like a 220 Russian to the naked eye. The only small difference is a little tighter radius at the neck/shoulder junction on the Beggs. Gene felt like it helped limit brass growth and need for trimming. I can't say either way because I've never owned a 220 Russian but...

    Very sorry to hear this. He was a good guy and I always enjoyed reading his posts. I knew I hadn't seen him posting anywhere in some time now. Prayers for his family and loved ones. He will be missed.

    Scorers, please have a look.....

    "Paper magic"...I like it! Lol! Yes, virtually every hole will measure smaller than bullet diameter by a bit and many people read the size and shape of the hole as part of their tuning..or reading tune.

    Scorers, please have a look.....

    It's clearly best edge, or the pics of the plugged targets are useless and it would seem intentionally so, unless best edge was the intention. Again, best edge "appears" to be the intention.

    Scorers, please have a look.....

    Definitely worth plugging and I'd say they both look good....from here. The plug giveth, and the plug taketh away.

    opinions on FREEDOM BENCHREST

    Isn't group shooting caliber neutral, too? Based on that, it seems that score shooting via ibs/nbrsa is the only br shooting sport that isn't caliber neutral. Nothing wrong with that, though. Just sayin.... To me, handicapping is giving an advantage to one over others, ie, a bigger bullet hole...

    opinions on FREEDOM BENCHREST

    He has a strong and very uninformed opinion of UBR. Uninformed is the key word because he's never done it. Nothing wrong with that...we're all that way if we have never done something. That part is not the problem. The problem is he bashes it without understanding or knowing anything about how...

    Gas Block/Shoulder, Lilja Barrel, and an Old Gunsmith

    Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong here but it looks like he did yours just like any other. It appears that he left the gas block journal long, as some blocks are longer than yours. But, the gas port is in the same location regardless of how long the block or the journal is, for a given...

    Just my 2 cents but Bat, Borden and Kelbly are safe bets that you can't go wrong with using. I'm a Borden fan but there are several more options out there today and some are good. Those three have proven good quality and since most are familiar with them and know that, they have good resale...
