    Only $11,302.00 for a 16" 6mm Creedmore with an extra stock and bottom metal

    Economic law of diminishing returns ... “when it absolutely positively has to be shot ... “ you pay for that ... and then there are style points/ bragging rights ... you pay for that too. Sure you can research for hours find a good smith wait 9 months and get something comparable for $7-8k...

    Only $11,302.00 for a 16" 6mm Creedmore with an extra stock and bottom metal

    $11k is nothing. You should see what a “gentleman” spends on a “good” African double for shooting game inside of 75 yards.

    Imported carbon fiber tripod (RT90C)

    I predict some good-enough-for-spotting-scopes CF tripods that can mate with RRS ballhead will be coming out of China in the next 6-12 months. I would expect the price to be in the $100 - $200 range.

    Barrel Cleaning Recommendations

    All that being said. I do clean the bolt / action after every match or session shooting in the dirt but not the bore.

    Barrel Cleaning Recommendations

    Another thing to consider is that off-the-shelf factory barrels typically foul much harder and quicker than hand-lapped SS match barrels. YMMV

    Barrel Cleaning Recommendations

    Cleaning the bore is over-rated but necessary once and a while. Unless you are shooting benchrest on your belly (f-class) or off a bench you do not need better than 1/2 MOA precision out of the rifle/ammo. For steel/tactical type matches you will win the match with a 1 MOA gun if you can...

    Imported carbon fiber tripod (RT90C)

    I am looking for a second tri-pod for the spotter. The RRS is great and a game changer for shooting but if I could save $1,200 for the spotter that would be a really good thing.

    Re - barrelling a 300 Win Mag, which make of barrel?

    Lilja, Obermyer, Kreiger, Bartlein, Shillen, Proof, Rock, Lothar Wather, Channlin ... I have tried them all and you will not be able to tell the difference between them assuming your rifle is well put together and you can hold/shoot reasonably well. They will all last about the same as they...

    Annealed vs Not-Annealed. Some stats

    FWIW, I borrowed a benchsource annealer and ran through all of my brass. Right after that I DID notice that seating the bullets felt very "smooth" and consistent across the board. However, I did not notice any measurable trend in precision/accuracy one way or the other - guns/ammo shot just...

    More reloading

    I saw Adam yesterday and he is swamped and working hard. Your patience will pay off as Adam knows his stuff ...

    I thought I responded to another thread about Adams reloading process but the post ended up here. Stupid iPhone. Sorry about that.

    GA Precision resale value?

    Besides being flooded at the moment, the trouble with the high-end gun market is that many people will pay the extra $300 - $500 to get it brand new and get exactly what they want.

    To 5R or not to 5R

    I should add I purchased my 5R's 15 years ago ... don't know how the new ones differ ...

    To 5R or not to 5R

    I bought 3 of them for my kids when they came of age. All of them shot solid 1/2 MOA with FGMM. I couldn't help not messing with them and spent extra $$ on having the barrels fluted to improve the wt. and balance, had them recrowned with an 11/60 target crown, actions bedded and the triggers...

    Sweet Spot for 22LR Target ammo

    I tested groups and ammo over the chrono. The SK+ shoots good but recorded a 51 ES (10 shots). Eley Edge had an ES of 22 FPS and and SD of 10. Eley Match was 19 fps ES (again 10 shots) SD of 8. 10 shots of Eley Tenex recorded an ES of 3 fps and an SD of 1 ... If you don't mind the...

    Sweet Spot for 22LR Target ammo

    You have to test. Lots of testing at 50, 100, 150 and 200. Ammo that shoots well at 100 does not necessarily shoot well at 200. Here are the results of the testing that I did: https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/what-ammo-are-you-using-for-long-range.6909187/post-7318033 I mostly...

    DLC - best dry bolt lube for dusty environments?

    @Primus, I couldn't agree more for an AR but not sure I agree w/respect to the Badger 2008 action. The fit between the bolt body and action is tight and that was where the binding occurred. The well lubed bolt collected fine dust like a magnet. The action continued to run but not as smooth...

    Foster Co Ax?

    Reloading, like precision rifles, is a "slippery slope" ... you will end up with many presses over time and lots of surrounding precision tools and "knodgets" ...

    DLC - best dry bolt lube for dusty environments?

    Ok first stab. I wiped out the chamber and wiped off the bolt. Sprayed a light coating of dry lube inside the action and on the bolt and let dry. Ran the bolt - kind of sticky. Ran it some more not so good. Then I lightly buffed the bolt and action with a micro fiber towel and MUCH better...
