    Yep every now and again I pull it up.
    I wonder what he would think now we have every thing from the IDOD, annealers, and the new Amp presses.
    In saying that the Amp guys doing alot of work testing different scenarios with neck tension and seating pressure.
    Plenty of scientific tools now!

    That’s incredible, but damn you have to be passionate to go through that case prep.
    Got a row of old warehouses here at work that are easy 100 yards. Even though it’s an industrial area, you’d never get away with all the booming. Company wouldn’t be the biggest fans either I don’t think

    Having shot a decent amount (300+ rounds) in an indoor tube range over a few sessions, what I would say is you have to have two of three known quantities in place to make testing worthwhile, i.e really sorted ammo, rifle and shooter.

    If all three are unknown quanities you'll find it hard to learn anything if results are crappy. Have had excellent days whete all three lined up and shite ones where I think all three elements were crap.

    So usually bring one rifle with ammo which I know shoots lights out (not literally ) and if you can't shoot that, just head home or practise with the .22Lr

    Bloody gold
    I was lucky enough to meet 2 Ed's
    Ed Shilen and Ed mcGivern
    Ed Shilen knew more about rifles than any person I have met since
    Ed mcGivern ( book - fast and fancifull handgun- might be pistol-shooting, or something close) shot the international ipsc comp in South Africa in the 80s and complained the targets wasn't dropping fast enough to get at the 2nd row behind . The organizers called bs, it was to world and exceeding standards ( he was in his l8 60 or early seventies . He went ahead and shot the 2nd row targets through the 1st as they were dropping to prove it
    He also received a hall of fame commemorative prize in absentia, while being in the room. Old bloke fell asleep, no one was game enough to wake him up, to worried he'd pull and shoot em
