I had the gunsmith put a Kiplinger (sp) set trigger on it while he was doing the barrel work. Man does that make a difference on how it shoots. When set it breaks at 6 oz, and unset it is around 2 lbs. I tried it at 600 yards this week with the 64 grain Bergers and found vertical to be less than...

My #1 is on it's third barrel. Originally bought in 1985 in 22-250. Rebarreled after about 4500 rounds :shock: in 2001 with a Douglas barrel and rebarreled last year with a Brux 1-8 twist in 22BR. The middle of June will be it's first trip to p-dog towns in Montana. :mrgreen: Going to be...

I don't own a Kimber, and can't answer some of your questions, but I can comment on the specs in the link. Guy can comment on the twist rate of this barrel better than me, but I would want a faster twist than 1 in 12 if you are planning on shooting LR with the rifle. You will not be able to...

Doesn't look like you need to send those Bergers to me :) ...nice shooting.

It depends on how well you want to document the number of times brass has been fired and keeping them separate. My match brass is annealed after each firing, shoulder bumped .001 while depriming, tumbled, and than placed back in the plastic bin it came from. There is a piece of paper in each bin...

:) A gal I date could not believe the hours spent every week getting ready for matches. When she watched me weigh powder from an RCBS Chargemaster and than take it to an AND scale that measures to the hundredth of a grain, she started to get the picture. I'm not as bad as some of the guys that...

If you are talking about a hunting rifle with that size of a group, you should feel good knowing you have made a load that will work well for most hunting situations. It is when you get to the long range distances that you don't really know what that .25 moa group will do. Most of my hunting...

I weigh new brass after it has been fully prepped prior to the first firing. That means necks turned, flasholes deburred, primer pockets squared and all necks trimmed to the same length. If I am making a wildcat cartridge (6BR-6BRX) the sorting is done after the fireforming is done. Everyone has...

Great topic and ideas from those responding. My limited experience with competitive reloading (3 years) has taught me quite a bit on the importance of steps to make an accurate load for LR target shooting. Many of the processes used by others add up to an accurate load. Most of us that load for...

I have been using these for about a year now (three calibers) and wouldn't be without it. All of my match cases are trimmed after each firing to ensure they are the same length. For someone that is starting out and hasn't invested in brass prep equipment, the Franklin may be a great entry level...

Looking at the targets, I'm not seeing any key-holing which tells me the bullets are going through straight. This should mean the twist rate is good for the bullet weight. ET - what were you getting for muzzle velocity with the 140's and VV 160? Did you try any other powders?

It doesn't change for me on the other bullets either. If I have the right bullet showing in the library, it will usually give me spot-on numbers. I have found it is important to make sure your line of sight section has the correct number input. The measurement from the center of the bore to the...

Tough choice...even though the wood isn't quite as nice on the Super as #2, I would take the super grade.

It works well for some medium bore calibers if you are shooting light for caliber bullets. There are better options for most applications from what I have used and others have said.

Go to this site; http://www.jbmballistics.com/cgi-bin/jb ... mp-5.1.cgi and use the library for the bullets in question to get your come-ups.

The other f-class rifle in 6BRX (same reamer) has been giving me chrono readings near 3000fps with the 105 hybrids. The thing that I am more impressed with is the extreme spread of 5 fps on a 10 shot group with 33 grains of Varget and CCI 450 primers. My 6 BR using 30.4 grains of Varget is...

Thought I was going to fireform brass today, but my brother decided today was going to be the day to help me install my new front door with sidelights... :x . Guess it will have to wait until Sunday.

Here is the latest I just got from the gunsmith this week. sorry for the crappy pic. Elisio R-1 chassis Pierce Engineering tube action Jewell BR trigger (2 oz) Bartlein medium palma barrel, twist 1 in 7.5 NF 12-42 BR scope Chambered in 6 BRX (blown out 30 degree 6BR case)

Nice pics David - I was fortunate enough to go through the plant in 2006 while on a business trip. It is a great little gun shop! They do shoot well and the attention to detail is a nice surprise.

Not a bad score with a little 6BR at 1000, especially if there was much of a wind. What bullet were you using?
