[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 283979, member: 2736"] BH I don't disagree with you on many points but we come from different backgrounds ,hence the difference of opinions, I don't build bench rest rifles because there is no demand for them where I live and only about 5% of the shooters in the clubs In Texas shoot competition the rest hunt. And when I said 1/2 MOA ,that is the guarantee and so far the worst shooting Hunting rifle that I built shot a .377 5 shot group and most have shot under .200 thousandth and I know that most hunters would love to have a rifle that would consistently shoot 2 tenths of an inch. No doubt Bench rest rifles are very expensive but they are purpose built and not suitable for anything else so they are like comparing apples and oranges to hunting rifles. I learned what little I do know from a master bench rest rifle builder and had to adapt to the type of rifles that most people want and use, but still maintain the highest standards to build accurate rifles for a reasonable price. I also learned long ago not to over load a round to get velocity when all you have to do is go to a bigger case after ruining a bolt face and a lot of cases, and if you have to get 338/ 378 velocities then use a 338/378 or a 338/408 loaded to safe pressures not a 338 RUM or a 338 Laupa loaded hard enough to loosen primer pockets on any kind of brass. I enjoy your post and I hope you enjoy mine and the fact that we disagree on some things is what keeps things interesting , And I try never to say there is only one way to go because we both know there are many ways to do something and many opinions. I know I have not changed your mind and you know you have not changed mine so lets keep it interesting, because I love a good debate and to have a debate you have to have different opinions. No more hijacking this post because Gelhard will have to decide for himself but at least we gave him something to think about. Good Hunting J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
