Wynne Echols started the topic Thanks for the Help in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 12 years, 1 month ago
Not sure if I remembered to publicly thank those that helped to make last Saturday flow so smoothly. As many of you know, Dan spent all afternoon Friday helping to get the range ready to go and also did the grocery shopping. Not sure who all helped with the targets, but I do know that Josh, Doug, and Britt were very involved. I always like to…[Read more]

Wynne Echols started the topic Monday Morning @ 1000 yards in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 12 years, 1 month ago
I certainly enjoyed spending this morning with Mr Steve Gilley, Mr Jimmy Davis, and their friend JJ. Steve is preparing to shoot in a long range[1000 yd] prone match in Tennessee on Aug. 30 and needed to determine dope on two different rifles and Mr Jimmy was not going to be out done so he brought a couple of rifles. Pretty amazing to see want…[Read more]

Wynne Echols started the topic Trying to Focus a Rifle Scope!! in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 12 years, 1 month ago
I have had different conversations with other elderly shooters that almost all express concern about not having a real clear sight picture through their rifle scope. Does this come with age or is it possible that the scope could be better focused. I think that most shooters understand magnification, to a lesser degree – parallax, but I was…[Read more]

First off, I apologize for this being so late on Sunday night getting posted. It has taken me twice as much time getting all of this uploaded as you guys spent shooting yesterday. Be sure and check out the ‘Home’ page and the ‘Results’ page for the latest updates. Click on the photos to enlarge and enjoy the videos. Success at Reese Bottom…[Read more]

As of Thursday morning, the weather forecast for Saturday appears to be outstanding. Zero chance of rain from now until Sunday. Get them loaded up and make plans to attend. The better the attendance, the greater the competition in each division. Hope to see many of you this Saturday around 8 am. WWE

Wynne Echols started the topic I'm Back!! in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 12 years, 2 months ago
I am back online after a four day bout with the recliner. Dr. went in to repair a hernia and found a very large one, another small one, and something else that he repaired. After spending Thursday night in hospital, I have shared my misery with the recliner all weekend. Anyway, had several little blue lines this morning and would like to thank…[Read more]

Wynne Echols replied to the topic Bullet seating dies in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 12 years, 2 months ago
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

Wynne Echols replied to the topic August Benchrest Match in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 12 years, 2 months ago
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]

Wynne Echols replied to the topic August Benchrest Match in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 12 years, 2 months ago
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]

Wynne Echols replied to the topic Bullet Seating Depth in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 12 years, 2 months ago
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]

Reese Bottom will host a benchrest match on Saturday August 16, 2014 with registration starting at 8:00 am, drawing at 8:30, and hopefully shooting by 9:00 am. A shooter may shoot up to two guns and the entry fee is $10.00 per gun. We will shoot the same three divisions plus a hunting class and all fees will be paid out to the winners. This…[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

Wynne Echols replied to the topic Neck tension in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 12 years, 2 months ago
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.
