    seating rim on bullet

    Re: seating rim on bullet There is a group of folks around Nashville that shoot UBR benchrest at the Gallatin Gun Club the first Saturday every month. Two things that shooting benchrest will teach you are how to clean a gun and how to handload ammunition. They are always glad to have...

    Neck turning

    Re: Neck turning I have been shooting Benchrest competetively for 5 years. The competition chambers in 30BR always require turning and are capable of shooting sub 1/4 MOA. This equates to 1.5" at 600 yards. However, check the wind drift on your round with a 5 mph wind and you'll see that it...
