Congratulations Larry, Brian and Tim!
Brian, you should save them barrels for the world shoot later!

Pete, I know in a 6ppc a #3 is smaller than a #2 by approx. .001. Measure your cases after being fired and then after sizing to be sure.If it is sizing a tiny bit and it reduces the click a little...

Congratulations Kevin!

Stephan, you are correct. The click is not really a deterrent to accuracy but more the speed we can reload and get back on target without changing the way the rifle tracks or reacts in the bags by...

Hi Stephan,
That should work ok. The shoulder bump sounds perfect. If you are not getting "the click" at the top of your bolt lift then you are good with what you have.

Hi Stephan,
If the brass is sizing the dia of the shoulder to .001" smaller in diameter than the fired size and at .200 above the base it is about .001 thou smaller in diameter than fired size, then...

Back in the day it was usually 27.8 to 28.3 grains for a bench gun using neck sizing dies. When the powder changed color from black to greenish gray it quickly fell out of favor.

Congratulations Don!
Thanks for posting the results Brian and Tim.

Hi Mace.
Once you find a seating depth that is working for you, I generally leave it till the groups open up and then move it out till it tunes in again. Every barrel, bullet, reamer combo has its...

Hi Al,
Which organizations rules and records?

Thanks for posting Steve!
Congratulations Larry!
Pretty close competition at the top. I will bet the bad weather coming through hurt a few groups.

The Grand American ATA trap shoot is held in Sparta usually every year and attracts shooters from around the world. The Super Shoot was held in Ohio until 2022 and the results have been posted.

Looks like this shoot was well attended. Congrats to the winners. See some Canadians did well also. Good job guys!

Hope you have a full recovery Kenny. May God be with you and your family in this time.

There are lots of ways of doing it. With a .262 chamber turning to .0085 neck thickness I usually did it in 2 passes, .0095 to .010 on first and final to .0085. The current thinking with some...

I would go .003 at a time on go in off the lands. Jamming hard into the lands always raises the risk of pulling a bullet and dumping powder in the action. Not what you need when shooting a tiny...

Back in the day a good place to start was 10 thou off jam.

The old Sako brass was a balloon head type case if I recall correct and will not withstand the pressures used nowadays with 133. They may be ok with loads around 27.8 grains of 322 but work up...

Dan, I sent you a pm.

Congratulations Butch, that is some good shooting in that weather. Hope you are doing well

That drawing looks highly improbable. Bullets almost never defy gravity as far as I have seen.

As Al Nyhus says, Chronographs are not always that accurate. It is in tune and shooting well. See how wide the tune window is and mark everything down.

Joe was one of the friendliest guys on the range and always a pleasure to shoot and talk with. He also will be missed.

Congratulations Ron!

That is sure an interesting way to run a match. It would be interesting to hear peoples opinion on how they liked the different format after it is over.
