Are you in the Calgary area? Why not come out on June 12 to the Rosebud range? We are having a Varmint for Score shoot. You don't have to be a member and it will be an informal match, ie no BRSC membership required. Also, I encourage everyone to use their name, either in their posts or in their "handle".

BR Equipment + Components / Peter Dobson - Hirsch Precision
« on: May 04, 2010, 03:49:59 PM »
Just wanted to put in a plug for Peter Dobson at Hirsch Precision. Not only does Peter stock the goodies we need to shoot BR, like Lapua brass, Peter has also been a friend to BR in Canada by sponsoring our shoots with various prizes.
Good news in case you haven't heard, Peter is also bringing in VV powder and now Sightron scopes and CG Millenium triggers.
Contact Peter through: http://www.hirschprecision.com/

Gary,
looks like we will all be trying tuners eventually. Might just be another bandwagon, but you can't ignore they are showing up at the top of the scoring sheets. Thanks for the feedback.

Gary, great to hear of your exploits. Fantastic aggs were shot. A teen agg at 200 is something to marvel. The possible record was shot by a shooter fairly new at the game? Can you confirm? Also what are you seeing as far as equipment etc? Did you see much XBR being shot? Many tuners?

« on: April 30, 2010, 10:03:36 PM »
Mike,
Interesting question. I think the bags are really heavy already, when just using play sand or heavy sand. I think my Edgewood mini gator is about 25 lbs with heavy sand. Not sure what advantages lead would have over heavy sand. There has always been a lot of discussion that bags can be too hard, I think lead shot would take you down that path, and the rifle would tend to jump or bounce out of the rear bag under recoil.

Could go with a shorter bullet, 63-66 FB on the shorter jacket. Maybe Dan O has something on the short jackets he can try. Dan you out there?

Mine was on the fax today as well.

Match starts at 9:00, it would be a good idea to get there at 8:00 to register and get setup.
For those who have never been before, the Rosebud club information can be found here: Rosebud Info
This is the target you will be shooting at.

BRSC - Benchrest Shooters Canada / Re: BRSC Official Screamer Certificate Procedures.
« on: April 14, 2010, 07:47:48 PM »
Just great....
Something to stick on the workshop wall when the BR gods deem it time to deliver the tiniest bit of encouragement in the guise of a screamer, which causes some poor slob toiling away behind the controls of a BR rifle to be pushed just far enough down the slope that he becomes a virtual stranger in his own family and a permanent fixture at the rifle range.
Other than the above, it is a great idea....

« on: April 09, 2010, 07:08:47 PM »I never had a problem on any round before and it only happened on the fireforming so far.
I loaded up a few formed cases I will try those tomorrow if it doesn't rain to much just to see .I think it might just have been the spring being unlubricated [I hope lol].
This still points to the fireforming process being the issue. The .055 protrusion sounds in the ballpark.
Do you have to run the 220 russian through the sizer to close the bolt on virgin brass? I know I can't close the bolt on virgin 220 russian all that easily, so I run it through the sizer with just enough bump to get the bolt to close with some friction. This is a bit of a crush fit to the chamber and holds the brass tight during fireforming. I still think the firing pin could be pushing the brass far enough forward that you don't get a firm strike on the primer.

Have you ever had this problem on fireformed rounds? Or only when fireforming?
I don't remember Ming's rifles all that well, but I imagine someone here will remember it.

« on: April 09, 2010, 10:57:43 AM »Rick I have never had a pierced primer I don't think the spring is strong enough lol .{even if the pin was sticking out .100]
I'm guessing this already happened to you ?
I had this happen in my tikka once , never happened again ,I will go check the protrusion shortly and post it.
cheers J-C
Glad to hear you haven't pierced one. It can be from a number of factors including weak main springs, oversize or worn firing pin hole, sharp firing pin etc etc.
What load are you using to fireform?

Have a look here for some of the answers about Licencing http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/information/lic-per-eng.htm your buddy will need to do obtain the PAL or the RPAL, they don't call it the FAC anymore. He will need to pass the Firearms Safety Course which he can take through the Hunter Safety Program, there is a list of instructors here http://www.aheia.com/serve_content.cfm?Page=Instructor%20Lists and some of those are in Lethbridge.

J-C have you had any pierced primers? Sometimes the little disc that gets punched out will enter the bolt and bind on the firing pin. Ask me how I know!
