Roger, It really doesn't matter the IBS board of directors doesn't follow the rule book anyway even when it is very clear. The 1000 yard Nationals were awarded to White Horse again this year which is a clear violation of Rule VII) 3) National Events and Special Shoots a) A National Championship...

Dave, Did you mean more than one ounce or was the referee in violation of the IBS rules? From the IBS rule book. 5) In Tournament where the dimension factor is involved the Host Club shall provide an accurate scale, a steel rule, and a pair of calipers or micrometer having a maximum capacity...

Butch, Since you posted it as a true story I looked to see if I could find the final ruling and instead found it to not be true. James

John is correct it is powered by compressed air, kind of like a steam engine. Here is one that runs on glow fuel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNPYjf1RIko&feature=related James

Tod, It is a Long Range General Rule so it applies to both 600 and 1000yd. You can find it here. http://internationalbenchrest.com/downloads/IBS_Rule_Book_July%202011.pdf James

Mike, Here is the schedule for Colorado. They will all be club matches. http://www.crci.org/EventSchedule/tabid/610/Default.aspx There will be no IBS matches at Grand Island. There will be some 600 yard club matches later this summer. James

Works for me James

Thanks Ray, Ya' gotta click the order link. For being hammered the guy sure remembered the Lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody well. James

The issue is that the way the Sako extractor is retained, it can be blown out by something as mundane as a pierced primer. Thus possibly sending the extractor down the raceway and if you are a leftie shooting a right handed rifle right into your face, possibly eye. The Lawton action uses a Sako...

It isn't spherical it is an extruded double base powder but it meters well. It is much more temp sensative than H4350 so I hav'nt used it much, however it is cooler burning than H4350 so I'm considering having a go with it in my 6mm Creedmoor. I think it is very similar to RE17 but a little...

You know, a lot of people in the Cemetary would be alive today had they been a little more paranoid. James

It may not be optimum in your rifle but .005" normally shoots very well, in fact you can get most A-max bullets to shoot well with a .005" jump. James

Charles, 338 Edge with default settings in Quickload with a 300gr Hybrid which ends up with a loaded round length of 3.6" and a 28" barrel I get 2613 fps and just overr 59.5ksi @ 114gr H20 case capacity . My guess was 2650 before running it through QL, does that sound 'in the ballpark". James

Mike, You should find joy somewhere around 41.5gr H4350 with either Fed 210 or CCI BR2 primers 140 A-max. That is by the way a Hornady factory load. I don't have a Ruger but that load shoots well in a couple different guns. James

Jeff, If Dick didn't see the email how was he able to reply to Robert that he had received the email and tell him that Yukon would be "thrown into the pot" and all forwarded to you and the long range committee. You would have us believe that not you or even one of the LR committee members saw...

Bob, The Jacket is through the Long Range Marksmanship program. The points cap is on Shooter Of The Year Points. James

Charles, You have it backwards. Up until now SOTY points have been based on LRM points. From the IBS rule book: 2) IBS Awards and Recognition - IBS sanctioned 1000 yard competition only. a) IBS 1000 yard shooter of the Year program and points will be determined by the Long range Committee on...

Since the Long Range Marksmanship program would require an agenda item to change the points system for it, are you going to have different points for Shooter of the Year than for the Long Range Marksmanship program? I don't thnk the LR committee thought this through very well. I am sure Phillip...
