    F T/R Competition Best F-TR Matches in the USA

    Berger SW Nats in Phoenix is a who's-who in the zoo of F Class shooting, both TR and Open. The US Rifle Teams use this match for practice/tryouts/etc. every year regardless of where we are in the rotation.

    So I'm moving to New Mexico

    Get a Honda Fit or Jetta TDi wagon. You'll figure out why right away ;) Lots of GREAT shooting out our way, but you gotta put in some windshield time based on where you'll be.

    Varget and Hornady 178 HPBT?

    Had real good luck with that pill out of a 20" 12 twist LTR using H4895 and CCI primers. Before concluding that you can't get this combo to shoot, you better have something as a baseline to confirm YOU can shoot - say a 175 SMK seated to 2.803" COAL on top of 44 grs of Varget and a CCI or 210M...

    F T/R Competition F-Open...First day out.

    Have fun with it - get out to some matches. Just for comparison, a friend was breaking in/fireforming for his 6 Dasher F-Open gun this past week at 100 yds - it was shooting in the 1s.

    All day carry

    Give up on the IWB for all day would be my suggestion. Been there/done that with some expensive stuff (Milt Sparks) and was never comfortable. Get a few $12 Glock belt slide holsters. Get our your heat gun. Play with the cant a bit (cutable slots in the holster) and find the position you...

    Gunsmithing 223 ejection issues

    What type of extractor? The 700 and 700 pattern actions in 223 are plagued with ejection issues. Been many threads on it. For 700 extractors, the nub of the extractor needs a tad bit of dremeling which will aid bolt closure and ejection both. Once this is done, if the bolt is operated with...

    Tactical M1 Garand??

    Tactical M1 Garand??

    You either will have a single shot rifle with the scope over the bore or a clip fed rifle with the scope beside the bore, unless you mount the scope in a scout configuration. That is a root issue you will be struggling with on your "tactical" build of the M1.

    Which .22LR Chamber?

    No issue with extraction on my rifle of live rounds.

    F T/R Competition Savage F/TR rifle

    Replace its stock with the Savage Palma rifle stock.

    Which .22LR Chamber?

    That's because "Match" is too generic for one to draw any conclusions regarding what reamer it actually is. Go for the "Match" if that strikes your fancy. Without comparing blueprints and knowing how to read them, you are just guessing when going the "Match" route.

    F T/R Competition F-class shooters bottom of the barrel, really?

    TunTav, not sure why your panties are bunched up - I just posted it so that both target dimensions were present in the thread for those that might not be aware. You can look at about any aspect of any shooting sport and say this or that defeats the purpose. F class from a bench? Oh that...

    F T/R Competition F-class shooters bottom of the barrel, really?

    "To answer the question about 10 ring size. The 10 ring on the 1,000 yd F-Class target is 10", while the x ring is 5"." The thousand yard BR for score 10 ring is 6" and the X ring 3". They are completely different sports, F and BR. Sighting and record fire times/procedures are different...

    Which .22LR Chamber?

    Personally I'd go with the EPS chamber. That is what is in mine. My Annie was trued/threaded/barreled by the great (late) bench gun maker Bill Myers (Bill Myers has left the range. [Archive] - Benchrest Central Forums) with the EPS chamber. It shoots the EPS bullet very well and also the...

    6CM vs 6CM....huh????

    Joe will tell you himself that 90% of the barrel life extension with his Competition Match chambering is the powder selection and not pushing the velocity too much. The shoulder angle helps a little.

    Is the M1A a Good Rifle?

    The M14 and the Stoner Rifle were designed under different design guidelines. The M-14 was basically an evolved mag fed M1 as mandated by the government. The Stoner Rifle was a clean slate design. One should not wonder why they ended up in two different places with that as a backdrop.

    F T/R Competition F-class shooters bottom of the barrel, really?

    Biggest differences are weight classifications and the use of muzzle brakes. Top notch competitive rigs in the two different disciplines don't directly cross over between the two disciplines. Another big difference - 1K BR has "for group" and "for score" awards. No "for group" awards in F-Class.

    F T/R Competition whats your bet powder in your 6br

    Varget had a bad period a few years ago (circa 2010) where it was not dense enough to get max velocity in some chambering/bullet combinations. That period has passed. Lots made in the last 2 years I have tested are back to to the same density and burn rate (less than half a percent difference)...

    What did I do wrong? (Case failure.)

    Typically if this is the cause then the primer will actually flow past the primer pocket in its diameter. His pics show them inside the edge of the primer pocket.
