    Advanced Marksmanship Alternatives to prone for long range - Disabled shooter

    Thanks for the tips Dan:D I've had back surgeries very similar to Danco's friend, and I too pay dearly for it. I'm soon to compete in my first F/TR match (was nudged into it, long story... ask me about it some other time LOL)... no brakes in F-class of course. Beyond what you've recommended...

    CCI #200 price check

    Your neighbor probably bought them cheaper than that, but you're getting a good deal (a fair deal) and he's making a few bucks. Win-win :D

    F T/R Competition OK got some matches coming up...

    Thanks again guys, I so appreciate your help. To answer some questions, my pet load (190 grain) IS still supersonic at 1K (per JBM), and I do in fact have the elevation travel to dial it. My first rodeo will only be 600yds, so I am just hoping to put them all on paper LOL

    Looking for help, beginner reloader

    I have to 'ditto' this. Fantastic publication, read & study it front-to-back. Just bear in mind that some of the articles are dated (post-WWII) so the pricing analyses will not be up to the current market.

    F T/R Competition OK got some matches coming up...

    Berger is sponsoring the Southwest Long Range Nationals here in Phoenix at my local range, and they're putting on a class on the Tuesday prior to competition. The class is taught by pro shooters & ballisticians, for a whopping $15... now THAT is what I call money and time well spent:D

    What are some good optional reloading pieces?

    A tumbler for sure. The 'popular' choice right now seems to be wet tumbling with stainless media (can get pricey), I do just fine dry tumbling with walnut and/or corncob (much cheaper). Decent calipers is another you really should have. Doesn't have to be digital, but those are nice...

    Need some insight for vaporizing bullets

    Yep. Those little screamers can approach 200,000 rpm (yes, that's two-hundred-thousand) and simply can't hold themselves together at that rotational speed

    F T/R Competition F-tr faq

    First, great write-up. Thanks:) I'm going to be competing in my first F-class match (600 yards), and my question pertains specifically to the single-feed rule. My rifle is magazine fed, will they let me compete without a magazine if I single feed them? Or is that a question for the Match...

    Various methods for determining seating depth?

    If the sharpie method isn't showing any rifling contact, then the throat of your barrel is pretty deep. If your mock-ups were jamming into the lands, they'd probably be sticking in the bore No worries, just pick a bullet that likes a jump. SMKs don't seem to mind jumping, whereas Bergers...

    .223 help

    Lightly chamfering the inside of the case mouth will help to seat the bullet without crushing. Hornaday's rifle dies have a really cool sleeve that 'holds' the bullet in alignment with the case during seating, so that's another option. As far as compressing powder, as long as you've started...

    questing re: using powered neck turning lathe

    Neck turning puts a bunch of torsional load on the cases, I have the same thing happen with a cheapie Lyman hand-crank deal. One more pass through the full-length resizing die straightens them right back up again. Yes, it works the brass... another good reason to anneal regularly. I've...

    winchester lrg rifle primer problems

    Going from memory, I was going to say somewhere '08-'09-ish I recall something about a bad lot. My loads must've been pretty soft, because I don't recall any of the previously mentioned problems, and I've used WLR for years. That said, last summer load I did some 'hot' load development (114*+...
