My apologies Asking $3500 shipped but would trade for Swarovski BTX

It’s been a few yrs ago but we got to the Challenge early as usual, had breakfast and began to prepare for the match. I overheard someone (Mark) say, “ I’m not believing this”. He was digging through his stuff frantically and mumbling some words that I can’t repeat here on the forum. Then he...

You are a good sport and even better competitor. I miss competing with all you guys as well. As usual I won’t be able to make the spring shoot because of work but maybe I can make the fall shoot this year. I need a driver. It makes for a very long day to shoot and travel even if I get there a...

That is if u remember to bring ur bullets. Sorry brother, couldn’t resist.

Look on Hanks message Board Lots of good information there. Ur powder choice/load is dependent on action type , bbl shank diameter , ignition system, etc….

When I bought the Bertram which was several yrs ago it was said to be great brass. It came packaged in bags if I remember correctly. I sorted through and picked 8-10 cases and loaded them. Shortly thereafter someone on a forum i was reading was looking for Bertram brass. I contacted them...

I didn’t read all the posts so forgive me. Any of ur ballistic calculators will work correctly. It’s just math. It’s our responsibility to input all the data correctly and make sure our components are doing what they’re supposed to such as scope tracking , muzzle velocity, bc, & so on. U...

U are correct. It’s a law of physics. I definitely use a brake but I have learned to add a little weight to my builds. Even my hunting rifles tip the scale at 15-16 lbs. No fun to carry but much more fun to shoot. Most of my hunting is done from shooting houses anyway so not that big of a...

Guys make sure if u try some of the loads posted here that ur rifle is capable of handling the pressure. I realize that most people who go the smokeless route respect and understand what they are doing but, these things can be a pipe bomb. There’s a lot of difference in shouldered vs barrel...
