Kenneth, I am a 100 yard zero guy. Each to his own. Just remember what your starting point[zero] is. As far as ballistic calculators, lots of free access on the internet. I think Sierra and Burger both have one on their website. There are also some good phone apps out there. Maybe when it cools off a bit, I will take you to a secret 1000…[Read more]

Fine shooting Mr. Gardner. What caliber rifle shot this group?
ps. Saw no hogs today, only deer. Shot at them three times last week. Guess I ran them further up the creek. WWE

It appears that David Gardner had a successful weekend shooting at the PA1000 Yard Club. They shoot 10 @ 1000 yards. I checked the results and his 5.114″ group, 99 score, won his relay. I cannot count but nine holes, so I will get him on here to tell us more. Appears the load was in tune, not much vertical. Congratulations, WWE

I have updated the ‘Home Page’, the results are on the ‘Results Page’ and there are some new photos on the ‘Photos Page’. Look around the site and remember that you can…[Read more]

Appears that Mikey300 has us back up and going. The Mrs. is gone so I will get everything updated later tonight. Been shooting at hogs all afternoon and I am fixing to go take a clorox bath. Shot 21 times at two different locations and all I brought home was a pretty picture of the moon coming up. A Tru Glo dot might be good at close range,…[Read more]

Ben, look forward to seeing you and the Mrs. at Reese Bottom. You will enjoy yourselves. We do shoot breaks from the benches, but do not at the mid range prone matches and Steve is correct that when we shoot from the benches we divide the rifles into three divisions to try the best we can to keep the rifles as competitive as possible. F-Open…[Read more]

I guess that I do to much reading. Ran across this info on another website. What do you think?
.223 Rem — Not A Competitive Option
I would stay away from the .223 Remington. On paper the 90gr VLD will shoot inside most .308 Win loads even at a 1000 yards. But in reality, on average, the .223 Rem, regardless of what powder/bullet combo is u…[Read more] -

Steve, I shoot Varget in everything that I own. I have had good luck doing load development at 70* F and adjusting .1 grain for each 10* F change, in either direction. I will look at the hourly weather forecast and try to make an educated guess at the temperature. Does not always work as planned. I have also found that barrels have different…[Read more]

We have had several request lately to come do some shooting at Reese Bottom. Must all be top secret because I never here any of the results or findings. Two of the shooters have reported unexpected guest. One sent a photo and a funny story, the other just reported a kill. Hope to see many of you at the July match. Details coming soon. WWE
