    I commented in a recent thread to ebf when he raised this method that we should give it a general airing on the forum. So who has tried it and how did it work out for you? A description can...

    I checked a couple of loads at Kaitoke yesterday afternoon in perfect conditions; no wind and overcast. The long range hunting project is shooting well and as usual there is no way I can keep up....

    Agree. I'm assuming that time is fixed, but no figure has been given, and then the crossing of the data plots in figure 10-33 is unintuitive. Also online searches reveal a differing in opinion over...

    Fisherman liked post by Puffin On thread : Bullet seating centricity any tricks and tips?
    New Lapua brass can be quite undersized in the neck generating heavy neck tension. Some seating dies may deal with this better than others. Things could straighten up on once-fired brass when you get...

    Thanks Guys, some useful information. This is a great topic and now that we have grown tired of discussing ladders, OBT, OCW, and 3-shot groups, doesn't this deserve its own thread at some...
