I’m glad to be involved and helping Malcolm and Jim get Palmetto back into IR 50/50. Bringing the Gulf Coast Regional over to Palmetto will help everyone by getting more shooters into the match and conserving travel time and expenses. Besides that they really have some great seafood in the area. I was in Hilton Head last weekend and had the best shrimp I have ever had.
As an added bonus I have been asking for promotional help from the ammo manufactory’s and the first to step up is Lapua. They have a new bullet that is a refined copy of the Eley bullet, except it has a domed nose instead of the little tip – both are copies of Winchester and Remington’s old match bullets – I wish we could still make something besides new entitlements over here. We have been having great success with the new Lapua bullets and several good shooters have jumped ship and are now using Lapua – as well as a near Canada gunsmith that has started chambering for Lapua – Go get them Gordon!
Well anyway, Lapua has donated 4 bricks of ammo and I’m still working on more donations. Go ahead and make plans to shoot the Gulf Coast Regional and I’ll plan on having plenty of ammo for testing. Malcolm will have the range open on Friday May 25th for practice.
