Mini-Palma

Hello, I was wondering why the NRA dropped the Mini-Palma match. Reading over the rules, this looks to be a very fun, and challenging match. As well as a very historic one, going back to the early days of the old long-range international matches held at Creedmoor. I know the centerfire matches are s...

Hello, Hon. I was going to suggest a spokeshave..this has adjustable blade like a plane, with two handles parallel to cutting edge. But then I saw post by ciscovt, & milling machine would be alot more accurate.

Hello, and thanks for reply Tim S. Jolly good stuff! I have never heard of these matches before. Queen Alexandria..Now there was a long suffering lady! It makes perfect sense too as this was the time when small bore target shooting began to take off. Thank you so much!

Hello, I use Corbin reloading press type dies (7/8-14 thd.) for swaging lead rifle bullets...but with a twist....I am re-forming already cast & lubed bullets. These are .22 & with the Corbin dies, I can change nose shapes to r.n., or f.n. This also squares up base to body perfectly. I am abl...

Hello, I have been using either a Dewey coated .17 rod (discontinued) or a .20 Dewey or Bore-Stix coated rod for rimfire cleaning. I usually only run 1 dry patch thru, then one wet with Hoppe's No.9, & patch dry. If I won't be shooting for season, I will run very light oiled patch thru. On the ....
