BR Equipment + Components / Front Rest Bag
« on: July 06, 2020, 04:23:20 PM »
Can anyone suggest a place in Canada that might stock decent front rest bags for benchrest.  Any suggestions would help.  Currently not an option of going stateside and dealers I've checked with only carry the mass market styles. :(
Thanks

Off Topic / .20PPC
« on: April 13, 2015, 08:37:55 AM »
I just picked up a used varmint rifle in .20ppc and after checking the usual places (accurateshooter/6mmBr and google) I can't seem to find much loading info on the cartridge. ???  With the gun I got some Sierra 39gr bullets and some unknown brand 42 gr. bullets (both moly coated).  Can anyone give me any loading info on the cartridge or a place to find it.  I'm not stuck on those two bullets (or moly coasted) so any info would be appreciated.
Thanks

Centerfire Discussions / 30BR Robinett Information
« on: July 25, 2014, 06:20:04 PM »
I finally got my 30BR and now have run into the problem of getting bullets and loading information.  I have a 1 in 17 twist HV barrel so am looking to shoot 110 to 115 grain bullets.  The only ones I can find are either Sierra 110 gr. HPBT #2110 or the Hornady VMax 110 grain.  To those who are shooting this caliber, what bullets are you using and can you suggest anyone in Canada that would have stock (e-mail address or phone number of dealer would be appreciated).  My second concern is loading information.  What powder and starting loads can you suggest.  All help is appreciated.
Thanks

Centerfire Discussions / New Record??
« on: August 03, 2013, 10:17:20 AM »
Anyone see the article about the fellow in Texas, I believe, who shoot a 100 yd. group of .0077 for a possible record breaking the old record of .009.  Apparently he was using a 30PPC.  Groups like that are waaaayyyy out of my league  ::) but some of you have a new challenge to work towards. :)

Rifles / WTB Varmint for Score Rifle
« on: July 21, 2013, 09:32:26 AM »
Well the shooting bug has gotten to me again  ::).  Now that I have a great gun for BR I am looking for something to shoot in Varmint for Score shooting.  Would like an entry level gun (or better) that I can grow with and upgrade if needed.  I've heard that .30 cal is the flavour of the month for this type of shooting but let me know what you think.  Additional use for the gun will be shooting targets at 500 and 600 meters on rare occasion.  PM with what you have.
Thanks
Ray
P.S.  Any helpful tips appreciated.

Off Topic / Winter Shooting
« on: November 12, 2012, 05:14:07 PM »
I've noticed the number of posts has greatly declined since the end of the formal benchrest season ???.  Does anyone else, besides me, shoot (practice) all winter.  I have found that if I place a small electric heater near my trigger hand I can shoot in all but the coldest weather :).  It sure helps that the shooting port is protected on all sides and overtop.  That keeps the wind and snow out but the cold is still the problem.  I use my 2000 watt portable generator at the range and attach a 1500 watt electric heater to it.  As long as I dress to suit the conditions, I find that by keeping my shooting hand warm I'm good for about 1.5 hours of shooting.  Does anyone else shoot and if so, how do you deal with the cold?

BR Equipment + Components / Match Bullets
« on: September 26, 2012, 06:52:26 PM »
I am looking for a source for match target bullets for my 6PPC.  I managed to find a box of 100 Berger 68 gr.FB Target (#24411) here and they seem to work well.  I have been told that the 68gr. bullet is the optimum weight for the 6PPC.  I would be looking for approx. 1000 bullets or more depending on price.  If it makes a difference I am using VV N133 powder.  Any suggestions of suppliers would be appreciated.
Thanks

Off Topic / Sako 6PPC Cases
« on: August 26, 2012, 12:17:36 PM »
Went to a gunshow on Saturday and one of the tables had 150 new unfired Sako 6PPC USA brass for sale.  The price was good (compared to other stuff) so I bought the 150 of them.  Is this brass any good for target shooting or did I just waste my money? ???

Off Topic / Aiming Point
« on: August 22, 2012, 10:32:12 AM »
As a newbie to benchrest shooting I am wondering if there is a correct or preferred aim point.  I see the crosshairs on the home page set on the upper left of the target square.  I have been told that the lower left is the correct point as well as center hold or twelve o'clock high.  Is there a "correct" sight placement?  Second question, why the square at the top of the target?  As I said, I am new to the sport and have a lot of questions. ???

BR Equipment + Components / 6PPC Brass & Bullets
« on: August 09, 2012, 05:23:33 PM »
Can anyone recommend a supplier for brass and bullets for the 6PPC.  I'm guessing only Norma makes factory brass and since I really don't want to fireform .220 Russian brass I guess I will be using the Norma stuff.  Any comments on the Norma quality.  As far  as bullets go I am open to suggestions as far a brands and weights (for 1 in 13.5inch twist).  I can't find anyone here who stocks target/match bullets.
Thanks

Off Topic / Another New Guy
« on: July 25, 2012, 01:08:37 PM »
I've been reading this forum for quite some time and thought it's time to join.  Looking to buy my first benchgun (retirement gift to myself) so I will be asking questions.  There is no club or benchrest shooters in my town so I will be relying on this forum to get me started and keep me on the right track.  I'm looking for a gun in 6PPC to start with so any help or suggestions are appreciated.
