Matt, that looks like a pretty sweet front rest. I've used some Caldwell other front rest, I just shot better off a bipod! I was testing some my handloads Wednesday. My Savage 10's 223, 40-50gr. v-max getting 1/2" 5 shot groups & 22-250 73-75gr ELD-M getting 1/2" 5 shot groups. 22-250 has a Shilen 1-8 twist barrel 26", it's a tack driver if I do my part? After I was done testing I went to 567yds. ringing steel targets! One of these days your paths will cross out there!!!
@@keithalbrecht4785 I was there earlier today. It was bot a good day. For the 2nd week in a row. Last week, my chronograph didn't work. I replaced the batteries and tried again this week. I think it is done for. It is the worst timing too. I am trying to do load development for a new barrel.
Hi, do you have to lube some parts and are you satisfy with this front rest? For the price it seems a good buy. Would you buy it again after using it? Thank you
I actually tore it completely apart and removed the grease that was in it. Then I packed it with a moly grease. Now it is silky smooth. I just shot a 588-24x at a competition for F-Open last weekend. I'm very happy with it. Also, I replaced the bag on top of it too.

Is this your Labradar, that suck!!!@@mattsreloadingbench
@@keithalbrecht4785 yup. Just picked up the new Garmin Xero C1 Pro. I can't wait to use it.
How was the Seekins factory barrel? I am looking at purchasing the Havak PH2. Thanks
It was a great barrel. I hit a 1 moa 1 mile target with it 6 shots in a row. Last year.
