you guys are doing an awesome job out there, the range is really improving nicely.
feel like a dick for not being able to make it out to help. paying for taking a couple saturdays to attend shoots now.
to the volunteers that have been able to make the time to help and the executive to have the fortitude to keep things moving forward, THANK YOU!!
LEE

congrats guys, spots well earned, lee.

LOL...............  I always wonder why someone would want to basically shoot BR on there belly??  Out in the rain or baking sun.  I guess there is the challenge of the Long range aspect and going to shoot a match pre loaded.

I will take shooting under roofs, sitting at a bench, stress of cleaning and loading in 30 minutes.  LOL

Then again, that is just a Redneck Toban's opinion.

should give it a try sometime calvin. besides the obvious challenges of trying to shoot small groups at longer ranges, there's the added challenge of not being able to 'rapid fire' a condition, since your target disappears after every shot for 10 seconds.
quite a few f-classer's school some br shooters due to the abilities learned in the other discipline.
the way i see it, trying and practicing several disciplines is a great way to become better all round shooter, lee

good for you, are you doing it as a hobby with full time job, or are you in balls deep? lee

not to stir the pot any further, (although i seem to be doing a good job so far), if you think about the mechanics of lapping, to try to remove 'high' spots in a barrel to achieve a concentric bore, you would have to be one talented mo fugger to remove a few ten thousandths at various spots along the length of the bore.
and to just run a lap continuous for the full length will only accentuate the problem, there is no way to lap over the high spots without washing out the low spots even further.
tom, you may have a better grasp of what i'm trying to say, if you are  able to make it more clear, feel free, lee.

great, thanks rick, lee

hey calvin, you'll never hear me call you a 'butthole', especially after internet conversations!! that bridge can only be crossed in real life meetings. i really hate eating crow, but will if need be, so alot easier to base your opinions on face to face than the interweb, where all forms of context are gone forever.(ask jefferson)
i look at all you veterans as mentors, i admit to stealing all the info and knowledge i can for free from you when your not looking.
i wish i was in your shoes as far as living the dream shooting full time, hopefully some day.
i do spend all my waking hours thinking about shooting, but only get to play when i'm not forced to chase the mortgage payment.
as far as powder prices go, we're getting screwed, plain and simple. correct me if i'm wrong, but there are no canadian manufacturers for powder any more, are there? i know i stock up when ever i get the chance in the states as well, same as a lot of things,there is no reason for such a price differential.
i'm not a short range bench shooter, but gonna test the waters and see if it turns my crank. right now f-class has got a hold on me, and i figure anything i can learn in the accuracy game will benfit no matter which discipline you choose.
best 100yd agg so far  is .557, i don't think you guys need to worry about me taking your trophies at the shoots.
i'm getting comfortable at 500 now though, with a 3 group agg last weekend of .337. i find it much easier to shoot tighter at longer distances, unless your gonna throw some wind in the mix. that is my next curve, i figure my equipment and loads are well ahead of my ability now.
now that rick has done a better job of introducing you to bob jury, perhaps a little more research will help you to consider some of his work. i would venture a guess that neither  rob, ted, ron, dan, or any other barrel maker came out of the womb with the knowledge to make match winning barrels, probably were new at some time as well.
thanks for kind words rick, i'll see you guys at the range, lee

fyi - Canadian barrels cost more. On my last 3-4 barrels they are costing me ~$50 more per barrel.

fair enough; myself; i'll gladly pay an extra penny and a half  per shot to support the canadian economy, lee

i know i am a newbie in this benchrest community, but  i am constantly perplexed why everyone is so eager to send their hard earned money across the border, when we have  great barrel makers here in canada.
ron smith is a legend on both sides of the border, ted gailard(spelling), and a newer guy on the block,  bob jury in red deer alberta, all support the canadian economy with their earnings.
i own a lilja barrel in .25 cal, and it shoots great, bought it second hand.
my latest barrel is by bob jury, chambered 6br, 10 gain twist, and shoots great.
fouling is almost non existent as  well, indicating that he knows how to leave a bore finished.
perhaps if we supported more local business, more guys would step up to supply us with our shooting needs; barrels, actions, components, etc.
just my .02 cents, lee
