I haven't measured the pull weights yet. Don't have a handy scale for that. They measure trigger pulls on all rifles at the Regional matches, but it is just a go/no-go measurement. The rifle hangs on the hook, and they bounce it a little to dry fire it. CLE provides instructions for trigger...

Background and Update I've been shooting High Power Service Rifle Across-The-Course matches at Bayou Rifles south of Houston, in the NRA Expert class. I use either a Smith Ent. (SEI) 7.62 M14 NM or a new-this-year Compass Lake upper with 7.7 Kreiger Stainless and 1/4MOA sights on a Rock River...

I just installed a new Compass Lake two-stage trigger and am trying to smooth it up. Some questions came up and I tried to call CLE for some help, but they are closed until Aug 5th. Anyone installed one of these and could give me a few clues? I have achieved a nice, crisp 2nd stage, but the...

Bingo! There is no "F" stamped on the FSB. Thanks very much. You guys called it. We learn something every day. Excellent help!!

Thanks for posting a reply. I have pretty much come to that conclusion, that something may be out of wack with the rifle. Last time we shot it, we had an EOTech sight on the rail, which confirmed where the iron sights were pointing. We'll probably take it to my gunsmith next time my son...

My son just got an AR-15 with flat top receiver and 16" barrel with standard gas block integral front sight. The problem is an add-on carry handle with an A2 style rear sight. The rifle is shooting about a foot high at 75yds with the rear sight bottomed out. The front sight would have to be...

Thanks Russ, I know some folks who have this one. He make some very high quality products for shooters. I have been thinking about getting one, but the thing is...I could shoot a couple of years on the 3k cases that I might pay $100 to have processed. Plus save the time of doing it myself...

Thanks for the links, 737Driver I will contact this guy before I send them out again. I would be processing them myself, but have never acquired a good power trimmer. I stopped shooting HP matches when I lost all of my brass. I am 66 and need to get into it again before my eyesight or...

Cases are trimmed at an angle If you stand the case on its mouth, it leans to one side. I am afraid that a bullet exiting the case would be affected by the case ending on one side before the other. I try to produce quality reloads with Redding competition dies, and this just doesn't seem like...

I sent 3k to RVOW Thanks for your reply, Russ. I finally gave up after several months of unanswered emails. Then one Friday night about a month ago I received a call from Nikki, saying that my brass was ready...after 2 1/2 years. Shortly after I sent it, there were messages on the RVOW...

Google "appleseed aqt" Here is a good site I found: http://www.fredsm14stocks.com/article.asp?ITEM=36 This looks very interesting...Larry

No experience with AQT, but I shoot NRA HP Some tips I could offer are: -- Use prep time getting into sling and into comfortable sitting/prone position. Also place ammunition within reach, get hearing protection on, etc. -- Don't dry fire .22 rim-fire without an empty case in the chamber...

I just received my 5.56 brass back from RVOW (clean, size, & trim), and almost all cases I checked had the case mouths trimmed at an angle. Some are off as much a .005 in. Also, they all have a burr ridge inside and outside of the case mouth. Anyone have an opinion about the effect on...

Thanks. I am sure to get plenty of help at the range. I found some info on setting battle zero, and was on the paper at 100 yds today. I feel pretty comfortable for the match. Thanks for your replies...Larry

I am shooting my first full scale accross-the-course match tommorrow in several years. Used to shooting at 200 yds only, and never using my AR at 300 and 600 yds, I need to be refreshed on the sight adjustments for 1/2 minute sights. The load I am using is 25 gr. Varget with SMK 77 gr...

Sorry to hear that Woody is gone. Glen Edgard also used to frequent Tomball. From the match results, it looks like some of these guys are now High Masters. The second time I shot at Greenwood, I remember learning how to watch the midrange flag, and firing at the same flag position each time...

Texans at Camp Perry One of these days when I am a lot more confident... Daniel Miller was one of the guys who helped me get started at Tomball. He has brought back pictures from Camp Perry.

Bayou Range Andrew... Thanks for the Bayou information. Sounds like it is in the same direction, but not quite as far as Greenwood. I have shot at Greenwood twice, several years ago, with a Garand and then with an M1A. I got some real good help from one of the two guys running the Range...

Texas High Power These places sound so great...I am going to have to do some driving. What a great match you had at Beaumont!! I shot a 199 RF sitting a couple of years ago, and my aggregate is usually in the 740's. I think it could be better if I would put matches on my wife's calendar so...

Thanks Blackfork for providing all of the Houston area information!! and the Google searches are loaded with stuff. I haven't wanted to travel a lot for the HP matches, but I am sure it would be rewarding for me. I may go to Bayou first because I will know some of the folks there. I also...
