Wynne Echols replied to the topic Bumping the shoulder in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 10 years, 7 months ago
Please let me throw this little finding into this conversation. This past Thursday night as I was getting my brass ready to load for the match yesterday, I set up my Redding full length sizing die into a RCBS rockchucker press and began bumping the shoulders on the brass that I planned to use on Saturday. I use a dial indicator and Redding…[Read more]

Dave, if all goes well, I will be traveling with 2 dashers. Lot of work to do before I come that way. I actually bushhogged the 1000 yards today. What is the new barrel? Looking forward to shooting with you fellows. The wife is turning this into about a ten day trip. WWE

Looks like you changed your avatar. Looks good. When you get ready, the wife helped me this morning and we were able to get 1740+ yards. We seem to be a little bit over a hill to get a solid mile. Probably could put the table in the back of truck and see the entire mile. You could stay after the match Saturday, or we can get together in the…[Read more]

Just wondering if any of you good shooters might have a small 9mm auto handgun that you need to get rid of? Must be lady friendly. Would entertain other suggestions. WWE

Al, I had this conversation with a good shooter recently. His thoughts were that with an extremely clean case neck, there is the possibility of some bonding between the bullet and case neck caused by the nature of the two materials. Does it affect accuracy? Not sure. A couple of remedies mentioned were to dip your bullets in some dry Imperial…[Read more]

Pascagoula was a beast. Never had shot in wind like that at Reese Bottom. The match director allowed Dan, Steve, and myself to discuss each shot and the results were pretty amazing. On several shots, we held the .223 on the outside black ring to get a #10; at least a 2.5 to 3 moa hold. Had a fun time shooting with the guys down in south MS.…[Read more]

Wynne Echols replied to the topic Group Size Question? in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 10 years, 9 months ago
Mr Bob, I have heard it said that some of these longer bullets might not go to sleep at 200 yards. Would say a 1/3 moa at 400 yards be acceptable? Also, would you care to share a thing or two about what you might do to squeeze a bit better out of a load or rifle? Thank you for the information. WWE

Wynne Echols started the topic Group Size Question? in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 10 years, 9 months ago
A question or two for all of you good shooters. If you are developing a load for a bench rest rifle that you plan to shoot at 500 yards, how well would the rifle have to group for you to be satisfied with the load? 1 moa, 3/4 moa, 1/2 moa, 1/3 moa, etc? We all know that the stars line up occasionally, but what is realistic?
To have a successful…[Read more]

Sam, a couple of questions. What do you mean when you say F-Open style? What would I be looking for in a different rear bag? Sorry for all the questions, but please remember I am a beginner still trying to learn. Thanks, WWE

Sam, I wish you would explain a little more about dry firing in the living room. What exactly are you practicing? Do you actually dry fire? I read somewhere that dry firing was not good for the action. That could be an opinion thing. Thanks for sharing, WWE

Thanks Sam. I tried to shoot the .223 prone like I have been shooting my bench rifles and I could tell that is was not working very well but I refused to do any different. I had planned to prep before this match and for various reasons, I never got it done. I have had a conversation with another good shooter about this and he mentioned a lot of…[Read more]
