I have great luck with Leupold long range and Nightforce, both benchrest and NXS. Never using more than 22X, as I don't like amplifying mirage. Good luck. Danny

Try Pelican. I have few of them, one that has my 300 WSM heavy gun in it right now with that same stock. Or build a wooden box for it like my 300 Win Mag heavy gun sits in. I call it the coffin. Danny

Just a thought.. Jackie, I have never played with the 284 case, but I have used 7 mm Rem Mag and WSM. I do not advise using the WSM case as it is overbore and you will need to set the barrel back after 450 rounds. But I had a lot of fun with the Rem Mag case, using 180 VLDs, H4831, 210 primers...

Question How did the shooting go yesterday with the wind in the area? How many dq'ed? Danny

Lagono I was happy with Johnson's win as I have been a fan of his since he joined Cup racing, but I was disappointed win Carl Edwards demise in the race. He had one of the best cars in the race and the championship would he not been wrecked purposely by Lagono. I believe he could have lifted...

David, Thank you for the link. By all that I read, seems like everyone had a good time. Mike, I wish I could have been there, if nothing else to hear all of the home grown Bull slung around. I didn't see Shannon's name in the lists, so there would not have as much as normal:cool: Big blue...

Tom, I visited the AS site and not see any mention of the 2016 1000 Yard Nationals. I spent an hour on the site. Danny

I don't know anything about "Accurate Shooter" as I find this medium to be sufficient to communicate with other benchrest folks, as it was a decade ago. Did I miss some evil event here as to why the benchrest competitors would vacate this site? I have always thought that the purveyor of this...

It may be mostly short range on this forum these days, but back in the day, we discussed the event with reverence and celebrated the winners, gave the hosts their due respect for hosting the match. I have been involved deeply in hosting several Nationals. It is a lot of work. Most of the...

I would have thought that a few more would be discussing the event or maybe showing pictures. Today's shooters must not be as social as we were a decade ago. We knew how to show the party. Just sayin...... Danny

My world is getting better slowly. Thanks for the reply. A lot of names that I don't know, but hope to meet in the future. And by the results, some fine shooting. Congratulations to the top shooters of the event, one of these days I hope to return to the line up. Danny

I couldn't make it, so what did I miss?

Pact Over ten years ago I bought the electronic scale and powder dispenser that RCBS was selling that Pact made for them. Worked great and still does. The dispenser was a bit slow, which the next model was a little faster. I have two sets now and have no complaints. Yes, they have some odd...

I remember a new young shooter coming to one of our matches at Quantico, who had read some of the published match reports, saying that he would not able to compete with class of shooters present. I told him to look around at every one there. He did then turned back to me. I told him that I had...

This has been an interesting read. I remember that I was looking for a new competition hobby back in '98, when the local range I belonged to was asking for target setters for a silhouette match. I volunteered and was interested until one of the shooters mentioned a 1000 yard match. Then for the...

What I have never understood is the mindset of not just the Muslim entrants to this country, but the Hispanic, Asian, and African ones also. They come to the US of A to get educated to bring back to their country some advancement in knowledge in many different fields but never go back. Then want...

My results... In my rifles, which were 10 twist, 30" barrels of different makes, I was able to produce with 210 VLDs an average of 2950 fps. This was with H4350, 210 primers and Winchester brass. Bullets were kissing the lands. I hope to to put them to the test again next year. Danny

I came to be fond of Montana Extreme. Great on carbon and copper. But to each their own. Danny

There used to be a couple of guys who shot at Hawks Ridge in the eastern end of the state where New Bern is. They would be a big help. I just don't remember the names. Danny

Watch it I did load development for a guy who listened to what those guys were saying. They wanted him to use a 168 Berger in. 7mm Rem Mag, with over 3200 fps. Using Retumbo, with more powder than the case would hold. We ended up using H4831, about 2950 fps. Gun shot great. Whoever he was...
