KirkD nailed it. Shoot 5, 5 shot groups and see what happens. The results could easily be reversed and most assuredly will be different. One 5 shot group isn't statistically relevant. Looks like you have a very accurate rifle, and the operator ain't too shabby either. Just think how much more shooti...

All good posts! The double-bullet seating I have heard about took place in progressive reloaders. A buildup of bullet lube in the seating die pulled the bullet and left it stuck in the die. The reloader, not noticing, thought he had forgotten to put a bullet in the case so he inserts another and pr...

During the winter months when cold fingers can barely hold a 22 shell, I load up one of these at home before heading to the range. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0012788222343a&type=product&cmCat=search&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&QueryText=22+tubula...

Dang, I wish I had a copy of that old post I made. It is very detailed and it seems to work very well for folks who try it. Anybody have a copy of that old post? This is from your original post -- OK, Here goes: First, take an Arkansas stone and put a few drops of oil on the surface you intend to u...
