Al, I get better every day. Still a little sore and uncomfortable. WWE

Tony, we usually start registering around 8 am and are hopefully shooting by 9 am. Thanks, WWE

Al, after reading Tony’s response, I am ashamed to mention what I am doing and would love for someone to tell me that I am crazy. We recently chambered my rifle into a 6mm dasher and I am using my old Forster 6mmBR seater die to seat the dasher bullets. My thinking was that nothing touches but the seater and it seems to work well. WWE

The whole intent of the hunting rifle division was to allow people with hunting rifles to come to Reese Bottom and see what we do without having to buy or build an expensive firearm. Obviously it has not been a very popular idea. The format is, at best, a work in progress. The target at 100 yards is simply a means that allows the shooters to…[Read more]

For the hunting rifle class, we put up a target at 100 yards with a bunch of t’s on it and the shooter must do all of their sight shots at this target. We time it but are very generous. Then with no turret adjustment(must hold over) shoot four at a target at 200 yards. We go cold for a period and then shoot four the same way at 300 yards. That…[Read more]

Al, I have 2 cents worth that I would like to spend on #4 & #5. Another interesting way to determine OAL is with a hornady modified case and their guage along with a 4′ wooden dowel and the bullet of choice. Remove bolt, place modified case on guage and insert bullet of choice into modified case, ease into chamber with bullet back in case, ease…[Read more]

Jim, you said above that neck tension and OAL are important to you. What exactly are you looking for? Am I right to assume that the type of bullets used could alter the results? Thanks, WWE

Al, I work on Tuesday afternoon, all day Wednesday, and go to church on Sunday. I have had very good results with a white, simulated, target and the camera. You pick the day and we will do it. WWE

Al, Many bushing dies come with a button that works on the same principal as the mandrel you mentioned above. For some reason, all of that got a bad reputation as far as case concentricity. Supposedly the bushings straighten the case neck and on the up stroke the button bends the neck a little. As far as using the mandrel as the last step, most…[Read more]

Al, I sure do appreciate you posting these topics lately. I am so sorry that the members of our chat forum are so unwilling to respond. They are all grown men and are too big and ugly for me to try to make them respond so I will tell you what little I know. My dasher barrel neck is .2704 and the outside diameter of a loaded round comes in about…[Read more]

Al, I will take a shot at this one although I am not sure that there is an exact answer. I just looked back at the results of this month’s midrange match and noticed that several shooters matched or bettered there high relay score during the third relay. These rifles were still shooting pretty well after 70 or so shots. Would a clean barrel…[Read more]

Jim, thanks for this post. It is nice to know famous people. Excuse my ignorance, but please explain the format and also tell us what all of the numbers represent for a shooter. Good to hear from you. WWE

Dave, thanks for sharing this information in the forums. That is one impressive target. That would be all of our dream. I have a few questions and observations. Every shooter loves the first relay. Did Mr. Ray share any load data? What bullet are you experimenting with jamming and jumping? Can you attribute your recent success to anything…[Read more]
