a note to new long range shooters, do not compare your results to other shooters at other matches. conditions, conditions, conditions. what matters is how did you do that day in those conditions vs the other shooters at the match.

see this is where we strain to see the future. you did not comment on his claim i did not need to show the targets, even tho it was a request by another poster. the target discussion was long range and lee does not shoot long range. so his comment was out of place again, but you reprimand me.

yes i intend to keep adding to this thread

lee, i was asked plain and simple, it aint my peers, we are talking to POTENTIAL new shooters. by the way i looked, i did not see your name anywhere in the ik nat list of shooters

my light gun score win was 6 targets over 2 days. on day 2 i shot 3 49's with a total of 5x's. those three targets tied the existing record. this was lite gun, 600 yards i was around 2 1/2 " groups, for ref the current GROUP record single target at 600 is around .3"

i think i do..but what won then, will not win today. this year i shot a 97 ag 3 targets at the nationals for 5th place, 3 years ago i shot 96.25 ag on 4 targets for overall win..in score.

i started with a year of watching/talking. i then built a 300 win mag lite gun(today the clear choice is a 6dasher/6bra) i shot from a basic tripod front rest all in a masterclass stock with a broughton bbl. brass was the only issue at the time but i was in the brass biz and did locate what i...

as the title of this forum says long range benchrest is 600 and 1000 yard shooting. if you think you might like to shoot this, i suggest TWO things, ONE) do some research, how close is the nearest range for 600/1k? are you willing to travel to shoot ? TWO) go to some matches, see what is...

but there are people on here that do not accept "demonstrated" expertise. people on here that attack rather than discuss...personal attacks vs subject discussion. and nothing is done

i have been here before i started shooting br. i have seen several "know it alls" loud mouths" and put up with their krapp because i was a new guy. but as i learned and shot and won, i really pick and choose who i listen to. i have 2 long range national championships, and came in fifth overall...

i am typically over 2900 as far as 3050..this is a first to be under in a 600/1000 yd rifle

so some good news today. went to the range with 3x of each from 36 down to 35.6. could not go up in charge as i was at a top load in this bullet/powder combination. the good was 35.6 shot .200. with 35.7 at .257. will try to confirm and then maybe do a primer test with the final load. the bad...

ya know the little plastic bits that the whole thing slides on...well PMA is handling replacement sets with installation tool. seems jay be way too busy, and pma has taken over the task. hot mine and install was simple

i did not mention it but i am sure several of you had thought about it. adding a chunk of al to the front of the stock change the harmonics and shooting went to schitt. vertical added. so now i need to do some mini load testing to reduce the problem. i am at the top end so need to tune down and...

i think mine is close to the lrb's i currently have. if you want low look at the current stocks by alex. i have stayed at 4" by choice, this rifle came with a 5" which i took off. on a side note i am currently at 16.95 lbs with the lens cover! built for the lite/17lb class. my other bbl is a...

this week i had a 4"x8" front end made for the rifle. the rifle as built was a laminated wood stock with the width at about 3.75..which was a pain as my other guns are 4". it also was a flat fore end, which tended to rock on the center of the bag. i had the 4x8x .5 plate milled thru the center...

stepping forward some more testing, loads hitting .25 or so and started fine tuning. yesterday in some wind i did more fine tuning... with a known load i went touch(000) , .003 off, .005 off and .007 off..all based on best groups from 000 and 5 off, 10 off did not do well. in the end. h4895 at...

that is aged bluing..not all do it but it does happen

yes it was very well run. they opted for 3 targets for each gun to speed things up. some people were a no show so that took it from 6 relays to 5. i like the idea of shooting each gun 2 days vs cramming one gun into on day. i am biased.i shoot there every aug.

so a jump sideways...to h4895 powder. i am over 2900 fps with the 130 jlk vld. did a short ladder to see velocities and then picked three and shot them this am. best 3 shot group at 100 was a 0.155, this was touching the lands..my normal starting point. i will load some on either side and go...
