    Techniques & equipment for load testing F-Class & PRS loads on BENCH?

    Thak-you, Oregon! These are helpful pieces of advice! I considered getting a SEB rets versus a Rempel bipod, but the SEB rests are way heavier, way more costly, and totally unavailable to me right now in Canada. The SEB F-Class bipod is also unavailable to me. I have a good friend who has won...

    Techniques & equipment for load testing F-Class & PRS loads on BENCH?

    308pirate and DThomas: What you say is accurate, but as a SHOOTER, I am not a newbie. I have been shooting for ove rhalf a century. The NEW things I need to elarn are: - How to shoot F-Class - How to shoot PRS - How to ACCURATELY test handloaded ammo to the precision levels needed for F-Class at...

    Brass Plated Steel

    Agree. That ammo is not designed to be reloaded. The steel case does not behave at all like brass, and you would get unacceptable results. Jim G

    Advanced Marksmanship My compiled reloading problems and queries (Sorry to spew..)

    I don't know about other die brands, but the Redding sizing dies can do BOTH the bushing exterior neck sizing AND the mandrel interior neck expansion on the same one-stroke operation. The mandrel can be in the die or not in the die, and very EASILY is installed or removed. The bushing is above...

    Techniques & equipment for load testing F-Class & PRS loads on BENCH?

    This is going to be a question, that on the surface, will sound illogical, but bear with me. I am teaching myself to shoot long distance, up to 1000 yards, with a view towards later participation in F-Class, Precision Rifle, and maybe in the future even some informal Benchrest shooting. For...

    Temporarily unable to load OR shoot! :(

    2 weeks ago, I had what I thought was a relatively minor fall off my bicycle, that dislocated a finger, swoll my hand up like crazy, and left lots of scrapes and brusies to heal. No big deal I thought. The ER doctor figured 2 weeks to heal and I'd be good to go. Today, during a recovery period...

    Atlas rear monopod on Larue POD on LMT SOPMOD

    Re: Atlas rear monopod on Larue POD on LMT SOPMOD Yes if I ever want to mount the sling, I will look for a sling mount that attaches to a Picatinny rail. Jim G

    Atlas rear monopod on Larue POD on LMT SOPMOD

    It IS possible to mount an Atlas monopod on the SOPMOD (tapered) collapsible stock on an LMT MWSE: Close-up: It turns out that a Larue POD almost fits - you just need to file off both tapered PLASTIC sides of the underside of the SOPMOD stock. Takes under 5 minutes using any...

    TRG Magazines life

    Re: TRG Magazines life I wonder if the spring from any OTHER (non-TRG) magazine might work. Easy enough to try, and WAY cheaper than a new TRG mag. Jim G

    TRG Magazines life

    Re: TRG Magazines life Berretta won't sell just a replacement spring??? That is REALLY predatory, since that is all you need - not the $175 magazine! Reaffirms what I thought before I went ahead an bought a TRG anyway: Sako evidently works on the marketing principle that once they get you...

    TRG Magazines life

    Re: TRG Magazines life I'm not expert on magazines, but I would think that the only item that would degrade over time and use would be the spring, which is replaceable. I doubt that the lips would wear appreciably enought to cause any issues. Jim G

    Richard Near comments on TRG bipod

    I heard soemthing from Ruchard Near at Near Manufacturing that I thought other TRG owners might be interested in. I had reason to call Richard about something, and he started talking about the TRG factory bipod. He says he has not ever offered a Picatinny rail accessory to mount a Harris or...
