Barry Holcomb replied to the topic Last target in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 1 year, 4 months ago
I tried one different variable in each string to see if I could find something better than my “go to” load I usually shoot. One string was a different neck tension. One was a lower powder charge and the last was the hotter powder charge. The loads ended up being terrible so the mirage was not a factor for me.
It seems like everywhere I go the…[Read more] -
Barry Holcomb replied to the topic Last target in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 1 year, 4 months ago
According to Surrell, his 308 will shoot through any condition! Lol. In all seriousness, not sure what the conditions were when they shot but I did see a lot of boils and pickups and that will definitely cause vertical. I was testing a couple different loads in my rifle and I know to stay away from all of them because my targets reflected that.…[Read more]

Surrell, there is a good node down where you’re at but there’s also a good one where Ron and Wynne mentioned. 33.0-33.4 has always been where mine liked it at. Do a jump test from 10-30 off and somewhere in between it will shoot. I like Cci 450 personally and lapua brass.

Barry Holcomb replied to the topic Let's Put the Lid on 2024 in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 1 year, 5 months ago
I didn’t get to come down and shoot as many matches as I would’ve liked but the ones I was able to attend I had a great time. It’s a breath of fresh air for me to go to a match that’s laid back but competitive. The fellowship and ppl are what make Reese bottom. It takes a lot to put these matches on, feed everyone and keep up with all the mainten…[Read more]

Heads up for anyone wanting a labradar. I’m selling mine for $200 and can bring to the match. Includes carrying case, labradar base, microphone for suppressors, etc. I can send pics 901-827-3962.
Nothing wrong with it at all, works flawlessly. -

Looks like there were some very good scores shot again this month, the competition is getting tough!
I hate I missed another month but I was in Byers, Colorado shooting the inaugural fclass fullbore national championship. This match consisted of 3 fifteen shot strings for individual followed up by one 15 shot string per team member (4 man teams).…[Read more] -

The first match is in the books, from what I heard the conditions were pretty sporty. Anything you’re going to change going forward or learned something and will apply it at the next match? Looking forward to shooting with you all next month.

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.

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] -
