    Anyone ever sent their GemPro250 in on warranty?

    I sent a GemPro 250 back (was dropped from a 4' counter...) to their shop in Arizona late 2013. I didn't have any problems. Received the replacement unit twelve calendar days after sending the broken one from California. Sent it Priority Mail with a Signature required. Just need to have...

    F T/R Competition Spring for Sinclair bipod or keep saving for a better scope?

    My vote is for a better scope. Nightforce 36x or 42x. 1/8moa clicks preferred. NP2DD reticle is the most used in F-class. No need for a FFP on a known-distance range. Put a WTB ad on AccurateShooter.com. Great time of year to pick up used goods.

    F T/R Competition Adding weight

    I use a Shehane ST1000 stock which is similar to yours. I found the balance with a 31" 1.25" tube was much better after adding weight. A Forsner drill but works great, easy to control and a larger hole. I filled mine with enough #7 birdshot to bring the total weight up to 22lbs even...

    Brass Cleaning and Annealing for Sniper's Hide Members !!!

    A Hide Customer PM'd to say he'd won his first match, thought his annealed brass and loads had performed better than ever. Made my day, especially since I haven't been able to shoot since March. / shameless plug As always, turntime 24/48hrs.

    Bench-Source Annealer - how to convert yours to run on one 10lb propane tank.

    Damn, Joe, your setup is Sweet! I may just redo my lines to brake tube just for simplicity's sake and I like the taller stand. Hate having move my little table in and out of the garage to set the unit on. Thank you. Bob

    Brass Cleaning and Annealing for Sniper's Hide Members !!!

    PLEASE READ: Guys, unfortunately a Hide Member recently had a problem with the treatment his return shipping box received at the hands of the USPS. Even with most of the cases contained in separate Lapua boxes, more than two dozen cases were ruined. The now-softer necks were smashed. I try to...

    Bench-Source Annealer - how to convert yours to run on one 10lb propane tank.

    THIS. You do NOT need the regulator or an inline valve - in fact they only screw up the pressure. Keep it simple. I do a LOT of customer brass. Occasionally a torchhead fails giving a less-than-optimum flame. I'd assume it's due to the impurities in commercial propane. Just replace the...

    Does adjusting oal change MV ?

    Absolutely. Pressures and velocities are affected when the bullet is seated farther into or out of the case by the change in the internal volume of the case - even when the ogive is nowhere near engaging the lands.

    F T/R Competition F Class perfect score ?

    Excellent analogy. I shoot Open and have cleaned every distance except 1K but doing it on every relay is very, very, very difficult. As Frank mentioned, a few years after F-Class took hold shooters began to clean every relay and matches were decided on X-count. The smaller target put an end to...

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 extractor type

    I shoot F-Class. Last match I experienced serious overpressure due to a powder-lot change. Took serious muscle to open the bolt and every casehead had expanded into the boltface. I had to beat the cases out of the bolt. I have the old riveted Remington extractor and I fully expected it to...

    Bench-Source Annealer - how to convert yours to run on one 10lb propane tank.

    No regulator is necessary. The torch-heads themselves control the pressure/flow via a needle-valve. 1) many Wal-Marts do not carry them and if they did 2)the female fittings needed for the Benzomatic torch-heads are not the same size. Believe me, if there was a cheaper local source of...

    Brass Cleaning and Annealing for Sniper's Hide Members !!!

    Just $10, the $5.25 small Priority Mail box will hold 100 of most cartridges so your order would be $15.25 plus your cost to ship. There's efficiency in numbers, find a shooting buddy who'd go in with you on the order to cut your shipping cost.
