I am writing this Thursday night about 7.00 pm. The weather app is talking about possible rain Friday night and Saturday although the chance has seemed to decrease. We will plan to shoot unless it is raining Saturday morning. I plan to get up by 6:00 am Saturday morning so if there is any doubt and you would like to call, please do. My cell…[Read more]

Ron, good to hear from you and hope that you get to shoot Saturday. Tell us a little of what is going on with the .308. I bet someone on here has had the same problem. WWE

Ben, just watched a video of John Whidden being interviewed after winning the Berger National’s in which he mentioned that he had shot hybrids in two different rifles with obviously much suggest. But, Lester Bruno set a record of 200, 23X, I think shooting berger bullets. This sounds confusing, but both must be very good products. WWE

Thank you, Steve Gilley. I usually cook a large package of Conecuh if that gives you some idea of how much. I will have bread, mustard, and ketchup. I also need three good shooters to bring their shooting stool. Regardless of what the weather does between now and then, Reese Bottom will be wet so plan to wear your rubber boots. I am starting…[Read more]

Robert Mc Michael called yesterday to tell me that the Bar 3 Range in Laurel, MS. has been approved by the IBS to hold sanctioned 1000 yard matches this year. The first match is to be held the first Saturday in April. I have actually done a little work on top of the hill in prep for shooting 1000 yards. If several of you are interested in doing…[Read more]

Ben, you have asked a question that probably does not have an exact answer. Al’s point is a good one. Test and find out yourself what you think your rifle shoots the best. I do believe it to be beneficial to decide on a bullet and develop your load around the bullet of choice. You hear of lots of people that wear out a barrel in load…[Read more]

Wynne Echols started the topic How High's the Water Mama ? in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 9 years, 3 months ago
Visited Reese Bottom this afternoon and it appears that things survived the 5 plus inches of rain this past weekend. Trash can overturned and trash is everywhere and the wooden table’s pad washed badly. The pink chairs are scattered down through the woods. All in all we were very lucky compared to many in the area. I have included photos.…[Read more]

Well, I have purchased a stock with a 5″ foreend and it will not fit in a Plano Air Rifle Case. Seems that Gunny used to have some bigger alum. cases that probably had more storage room. Anybody have one they want to get rid of or know where a fellow might purchase one? Thanks, WWE
