    I just got a call from James Kluskens about an hour ago. JK2 as some of you know him. His...

    I think you are a little over the top frankly. "BPCR" to those that compete is ""BPCR". A game and competition. If it doesn't mean that to you that's fine. But you can put your arrogance and...

    Mine was more like a 4 MOA gun, but that may have been me. As for carrying and shouldering, it was, by a huge margin, the worst rifle I've ever owned. Heavier than a tombstone and just dead weight...

    There are a lot of types of open-cell foam. I take it you are thinking of something like floral foam, used to make flower arrangements. I have been using it as well. I cut it 3/8" and then again...

    thanks, but a better looking group. That is 200 yds with ten shots vs the video's 100 meter and however many shots. BAsically, his groups are 400% the size of mine, correcting for distance. What...

    There may be videos, but they aren't what you want to do - at least to start. Exactly what are your shooting goals with this? But meanwhile, you have plenty of info here to get more than just...

    Don't make this hard. Any decent brass will be fine. Winchester and Starline are most common. Others are fine too.

    LDPE is low density polyethylene plastic. John Walter's wads at buffaloarms.com will do nicely. They will also sell the powder and molds. One stop shopping.

    You can size paper patched bullets with the paper on. Thus, you want a sizer that is an exact match for your bore diameter. Better yet, is buy a mold that is just the right size and don't size them...
