Riverwolf1, whoever you are. The ER Meeting is a nice opportunity for members to celebrate the accomplishments within the region. However, it’s typically attended by a relative small percentage of members due to location. Most people won’t travel greater than 3 hours for a short meeting (even...

Larry, Rodney and Lou. Good shooting boys!!!

Plaques are all computer generated now a days, so your cost are going to be impacted by either competition between trophy stores or shipping. I would generate a template plaque (based on dimensions) and get some quotes. You may want to check other close by shooting ranges to see who they may...

Hi Jim, At the Cactus this year I tested four shots using a Labradar with a load of 30.2 grs of V-133, and I recall getting a 6 fps velocity spread with Hottenstein bullets.

Ted (2-Gun) Heindselman shot a .1954 agg to win the 2nd Annual Lowell Hottenstein Memorial Match. Conditions on Saturday's 100-yard matches were rainy with little to no wind which resulted in 10 teen aggs in the morning LV class, and 7 in the afternoon HV class. Sunday's conditions were a bit...

Nice shooting Larry! You old guys shoot good. ? Hope to see you soon, Lee

Hi Dick, Any thoughts on having 100 yd group matches (as in the past)? Lee

Still raining, temperature is 37 degrees. Here’s the results of the 200 yards aggs, grand aggs and 2-Gun.

WWCCA 200 yard and 2-Gun Results Forecast has held true. Came to range with freezing rain. We had to chip ice off benches and un-freeze wind flags. Starting conditions are 32 degrees and wind 15 mpg out of east, with rain in our faces.

In some of the toughest conditions in a decade, Bob Balowski won the 100LV with a .2068 and Chuck Green won 100HV agg with a fine .1651. The day started with the temperature around 40 and ended at 36 degrees, with rain and wind chill blowing 25 mpg straight into the shooter face. Everything...

What lot of 2016 V-133 are you shooting?

Hi All, I’m looking for the 2008 Eastern Regional Championship Match report (I believe from Holton). If you happen to have it, please email me a copy (need agg and grand winners). Jack Neary and I need it to verify the ER Hall of Fame points (for some reason it’s missing in our database)...

A couple of pictures from 2005.

GsT, I’m using a Chrony Beta Master about 10 feet from the muzzle. Sorry, I didn’t write down the SD. Obviously, the barrel does warm up with each shot, but I didn’t see a pattern of velocity change with each round during the string. Lee

Testing - What’s going on? Last weekend, we shot a 200 yard Score Match at WWCCA. Since it was a fun match and cold, most of us come preloaded. I asked the guys if I could set up a chronograph. I had loaded up 50 rounds of V-133, weighing each round for my 6ppc. It was somewhat mild this...

I’m just trying to understand why my well tuned load in the afternoon won’t shoot well in the morning, or vis-a-versa. Is our powders that sensitive to temperature changes, or are they sensitive to air density (where temperature is one of the key variables)?

Thanks guys! So as DA increases (say from morning to afternoon) my velocity will increase due to less dense air.

I’m confused with the concept of altitude density (AD) and how it may impact bullet velocity (in short range benchrest shooting). Questions: Does AD change (in the same direction) as temperature changes throughout the day (all else being consistent)? How does the bullet velocity change (up or...

Hi Dan, My guess why the dates are not there is due to the Clubs not sending their “signed” match schedule form to the regional director. I know there are some clubs that use their January Club Members meeting to finalize their range’s multi-discipline yearly schedule. In the Eastern Region, I...

Thank you Bart. Some excellent points! Your post and all the other comments really highlight how difficult it is to stay on top of your game and perform at the highest levels. Good luck to everyone in 2018. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all. Lee
