Thanks for the info, Rick! I am looking forward to your review in the coming months. Initially, I was interested in the RCBS R.A.S.S. bench as well. Then I saw that it wasn't available with a table top. I don't understand why RCBS made that decision, but that made it a deal-breaker for me. That's a ...

That's a nice looking Savage! Personally, I wish that they would have made the bottom of the magazine fit flush with the stock. Otherwise, it's a beautiful rifle. And I'm sure that it will drive tacks.

I posted in another section, but I'll repeat here since it fits with the topic. I saw the same clip on G&A last night, so I called Midway today to inquire about the Caldwell "BR Pivot" bench. I spoke with a rep who told me that production was delayed and that she didn't know when the b...

I wanted to bump this thread. Last night I saw a clip on TV (I think that it was Guns & Ammo TV) showing Caldwell's new pivoting shooting bench. It was a dead ringer for Rick's BR Pivot, so I assume it's the one Rick mentioned selling the patent to last year. Anyway, I've tried to find this benc...

Someone needs an invitation to the postal shoot.

A sub-caliber shot: For a 204 that would be a shot group under .204 measured from the center of the shot. For a visual description the second and third shot essentially feather the edges of the first shot by .102 or less. Under that circumstance the centers for shot two and three would be less then...

Skipper,
Thank you for the links! I appreciate everyone's help and it looks like I have the info that I need to get started. Thanks again, everyone.

Glad to hear that you're having such good luck with the Howas. What's a sub-caliber shot group?

Gentlemen, I sincerely appreciate your help. I've been looking around at Midway for some dies and think I know what I need. Using this as an example, do I need other dies or will this cover me: http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=666175&t=11082005 Thanks again, you g...

I'm getting ready to order my first set of dies to start reloading for the .204 (with the help of a friend). Please forgive the ignorance of my post, but if I don't ask I won't learn. I want to get a neck-sizing die so that I can use fire-formed brass without resizing it (I hope I said that right :?...

Melvin, those are some fantastic pictures! Thank you for sharing.

Melvin, thanks for the info. You and Lucas are very fortunate to spend so much time enjoying the outdoors together. I can't speak for others, but I certainly enjoy seeing the pictures that you post on here. Thanks for sharing.

Melvin, thanks for sharing the pictures. You have some beautiful deer mounts for sure. I thought that I noticed at least one doe on the wall as well. May I ask the significance of the doe(s)? Did you mount her for aesthetic purposes or does she have some personal significance? She looks good on the ...

For those of you who have never been on the Malta, Montana bench, in the winter, WITH the wind blowing....well..it is the second coldest place on earth. #1 coldest place on earth has ALWAYS been Minot, North Dakota....at least in my experience. :) I was just trying to picture what that experience m...

Cool story!
