Barry Holcomb replied to the topic All Hunters, Please Report In in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 2 years, 4 months ago
Went down to Houston tx and shot at bayou rifles last month for a long range match, the competition down there is unbelievable. Matt basalla shot a 600-47x at 1000. I was testing some loads and did ok. We shot a pair fire match after the regular 3×20. 3 shooters to a target for pair fire, taking alternating shots, up to 45 seconds per shooter. It…[Read more]

I know it’s cold but who has been out shooting? I’ve been doing some testing with the 7-6.5prc, trying different primers and powders. I can’t say I’ve gotten any new toys just trying to make the ones I’ve got shoot a little tighter.

Barry Holcomb started the topic What kind of rifles do you hunt with? in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 2 years, 6 months ago
I know we all have expensive comp rigs but what about hunting rifles? Handguns? Etc…..
I have a tactical rifle I had chambered with my dasher reamer and shoot 108eldm. I use old brass from my comp rifle and it works pretty well!
My other is a custom 7stw, it’s a lazer beam. We mainly hunt long bean/corn fields around here so I don’t have to use a…[Read more] -

Had a great time as always, thanks Mr. Wynne for putting on the match despite the wet, cold conditions. I watched Pat shoot for two relays and he did a great job for his first outing and it was great to meet Allen, I think his pocketbook might suffer some terrible hits in the near future!! Lol. I think Jessie might have caught on to the wind…[Read more]

Had a great time as usual at RB, thanks Mr. Wynne for running everything and feeding us. The conditions were challenging and never consistent, made for a fun match. It was great to see everyone and a lot of new equipment on the line, the level of competition will just continue to go up. Congrats to Chase on the ftr win, looks like the new barrel…[Read more]

Barry Holcomb replied to the topic Let Us Prepare for 2023 in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 3 years, 4 months ago
Let me start out by saying I had a great time shooting back in November, the food was outstanding and the fellowship and I look forward to hopefully being able to make more matches this year.
I prefer shooting a 3×20 but that’s mainly because of the drive I have. A pairs match by luck of the draw or however is fun, an actual team match I could s…[Read more]

Barry Holcomb started the topic How experimental are you? in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 3 years, 5 months ago
Just curious as to how dead set you fellas are in your ways when it comes to powder choices, bullets, primers, testing methods? I used to test components a lot more before I had kids and now that time is of the essence and in short supply I’ve tried to get a few calibers down to where I can load and spend more time shooting. One example for me w…[Read more]

Jump or jam? I’ve done both with excellent results but since I primarily shoot fclass I prefer to jump my bullets. I don’t like pulling a loaded round and the bullet sticking. What is everyone else’s preference? Do you chase the lands? Set it and forget it?

Barry Holcomb started the topic Let’s talk bullets in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 3 years, 6 months ago
Is there a particular bullet manufacturer you tend to pick because of consistency? Price? Loyalty? Nowadays, availability?
Do you sort bullets? By BTO or OAL? Have you been able to see a real difference on paper or does it make you feel better?
Do you trim meplats?
Do you point?
Weight sort?
Is there a bullet you want to try but haven’t?

Barry Holcomb started the topic Is a barrel tuner really worth it? in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 3 years, 6 months ago
Tyler and I both run tuners on our rifles and we had quite a few questions about them but first I’d like to ask, do you think they’re a novelty item? Maybe they work? Maybe they don’t? Do you want to try one? Are they just something else to spend money on?
I was pretty skeptical about tuners when I started putting them on my barrels a coupl…[Read more] - Load More
