It would be interesting to hear about other events that you good shooters attend. Take photos, list the results, let us all know what other shooters are successfully shooting and winning with. I would love to hear from many of you about something that you run across reloading or testing. I would also like to hear about your handgun…[Read more]

Steve, thanks for posting this information. Let us know how the 720 worked out. My pea shooters are smaller than this rig but someone should be able to use this info. Hope to see many of you south Alabama boys this Saturday. WWE

Allen, must be nice to be able to build a new rifle each year. Good luck with the dasher. I am sure that you will enjoy it at 1000 yards but, having two of the suckers, I cannot honestly recommend at 600 yards. The fire forming is time consuming and I see a lot of inconsistences in the formed cases. I am about done fire forming two sets of 50…[Read more]

Steve, the .223 has a Brux 1 X 8 twist barrel. I shoot varget powder, CCI BR4 primers, and lapua brass and 80 gn berger bullets. I have these loaded with 24.5 gn varget and I reduce the load to 22.5 over 70 degrees. I loaded these to shoot in November so the weather should be fine in February. I read somewhere that brass and bullets actually…[Read more]

I have seventy something rounds of .223 ammo that I plan on shooting at the February Mid Range Prone match that I actually loaded for the November match and for some reason did not shoot. That will put this ammo having been loaded for approx. three months. Question is: what should I expect? Does anyone have any experience with ammo loaded for…[Read more]

Steve, good to hear from you and glad to see that you made the trip to Pascagoula. You should have a leg up on us cold weather boys. The whole idea behind the ‘overall winner’ is to just try to do something a little different.
