    wbm.... This message is to be read in a "nice voice" so don't take it as insulting.....

    If you want to control the conversation then write a book..... if you put it on a forum then you can't complain about where it goes. Also- you brought up cleaning in the very first post "One of the worst is a clean barrel/cold shot flyer." You think that a statement like that might lead to a discussion of cleaning when you are talking about flyers??

    Lots of things can cause accuracy issues.... but a stock is not usually the cause of a flyer. Piss poor group- yes. Point of impact changes depending on how much pressure is on it- yes. But what is happening and changing in the stock that causes the first shot to impact differently and then magically fixed for the other shots? A stock problem will usually show up at different times and in different shooting positions- not just a first shot flyer.

    Actually 2 now. The SA284 I shortened to be a better fit within the short actions
    and the use the long .290 throats. With the new 30" Brux I just hung on it, It's
    a 1/3rd MOA rifle.....Next is my 284-ELF. I really shortened this one up but still
    longer then a 7BR. I'm using a 130 SMK and competing in 100/200/and 300 UBR.
    It's still a work in progress with a worn out Bartlein barrel. Hart is doing a barrel
    for it in a proper twist. I'll note that Randy was working on about the same concept.
    I believe he went with a 30 degree shoulder, and I stayed with the 35 degree. It's
    a ten ring killer for sure, just need more tuning to get more X's.

    I'll have a short write up on Accurate Shooter in a couple of weeks. And yes it's
    on a Savage PTA, And will be mounted on a ORYX BR chassis of my own design.

    Now back to our regular scheduled program.

    Good to hear! I have never had a 284. Why? Don't know! Sure be nice if you add some pics on the Accurate Shooter write up.

    Now back to our regular scheduled program.
    +1. Oh yeah.

    Is there anyone who shoots who doesn`t have flyers? Are they one of those inevitable things in life like death and taxes? The possible causes appear to be so wide and variable that I wonder if one can ever really figure them out. I also wonder if one shooter`s "flyer" may not be another`s (?). At the risk of stating the obvious, the significance assigned to a given " flyer " will vary with the shooter`s purpose. My " minute of coyote " group requirement will differ significantly from that of the dedicated target shooter.

    I have a thread going on AC about sorting primers, and getting beat up a bit.
    Maybe 50/50 of the crowd. Here's the deal....To some, a flyer is a full inch out,
    and to some maybe only a 1/4 inch and enough to miss the ten ring. I normally
    shoot CCI BR2 primers for match's. Well with the shortage this year, I ran out and
    had to rely on my WLR primers I mainly use for fire forming. I've had some extreme
    fliers with this lot of primers. I pulled 130 and did a sort on a Peregrine 1/100th
    resolution scale and opened my eyes. Primers went from 5.34 grs to 5.16 grs. That's
    a spread of almost 2 tenths. If that relates more weight to the priming compound
    it's self, there would be a major cause for a flier......I'll l be doing further tests down
    the road, but my last match is this weekend, and have just enough primers to finish
    out the season.

    Wbm..... I get some pics up on AC after this last match. I'm back on the mill
    trying to finish up the new bench rest fore end for the Oryx chassis. I do believe
    you hang out there also !!

    LOL! Considering where this thread went I do understand.

    I normally shoot CCI BR2
    Ah man. I could have helped ya there if I had a bit of lead time...that is what I usually use. Had my wife check at a place I knew in Albuquerque last fall She called and said they had CCI BR2. Asked how many I wanted and I said 1K....one of my more lame moments!
    Anyway those added to what I had came to almost 2K.

    I do believe you hang out there also !!
    I believe I do. Good luck on the shoot!!
