I am interested to know what power you good shooters set your scope on yesterday and also about what time you shot. I shot in the last relay(about 1 pm) yesterday with the scope set on 30 power. Looking back, maybe should have dropped back a little bit. Over heard someone say that they dialed their scope under the mirage. Do not think that I…[Read more]

It would be interesting to know if any of you good shooters learned any new tricks or information at the match yesterday. Does anyone have any thoughts on the 10 shot groups say as compared to 5 shot groups? It has been suggested in my presence several times that the shooter must get their shots off as quickly as possible to try to stay within…[Read more]

Just added a new photo album on the photos page. Not sure who the photographer was, but he got all the big ugly ones. We have located the ammo box. Thanks guys, WWE

The only good snake is a????? Two today. Reese Bottom is a dangerous place.

Please check the results page to view the results of the June Benchrest match. Thanks to all that participated and helped out. A stainless coffee mug was left in the shooting shed and Mr Mike Reekie has a green ammo box with Lapua BR brass missing. Please contact Wynne if you find the ammo box. July will host a Mid Range Prone Match on the…[Read more]

Just a short reminder that on Saturday June 21, 2014, there will be a benchrest match at Reese Bottom. We will start registering at 8am, draw for positions, and hopefully be shooting by 9am. $10 per gun and a shooter can shoot up to two guns. We plan to shoot the usual three divisions plus the hunting class. All fees paid to winners and also…[Read more]

I would like to begin by saying what a wonderful time I had yesterday going on a road trip with Dan and Addison Gunter. We went shooting and on the way home Addison says “I like Reese Bottom”. I think that tells about the results but we all vowed to regroup and go again. Those Gunter boy know how to do some shopping when they get out of…[Read more]

I would love to hear from many of you about your experience with your reloads and their reaction to a temperature change. Do you shoot the same load year round or do you adjust for temperature? Do you do your load development at a certain temperature and the adjust your load as the temperature rises or falls? If so how much? Thanks, WWE

Please, do not let any of this discourage anyone from attending the next F Class match at Reese Bottom. Received a new Seb Joy-Pod F Class front rest for the .223 this week. I had seven rounds left in the box from last month’s prone match so I took all of the stuff to the range Saturday morning to try it out. (picture included) Put a target up…[Read more]

After resizing some brass yesterday, I through it into a tumbler with walnut media and when it came out there was a reddish dust all over the brass. Any easy way to get this dust gone? Thanks, WWE

Are there any good reloading and benchrest magazines out there to read?

For those of you good shooters that do not appreciate the calm conditions at Reese Bottom, check out today’s results from PA. Several of these guys are forum members. They shoot a little farther than we do and shoot ten shot groups, but many will normally shoot 4, 5, and 6 inch groups. I understand that there was a 20 mph cross wind today.…[Read more]

We encourage each of you to pause at some point today and reflect upon the true meaning of Memorial Day and what it truly means for each of us. WWE

I would like to ask Santa for the perfect 600 yard F-T-R .308 rifle. Would like for this rifle to shoot 168 gn MK’s but could be talked into a different bullet. Forum members, please add one piece to the build until the rifle is complete with rest and everything needed to shoot a hole in the ‘X’ ring. Different opinions are appreciated!!! WWE
