Here is what I have noticed over the last let’s say three years or so that I have been involved with competitive shooting. Winning group sizes have shrunk by a huge percentage. This can be attributed to lots of things: better components, better gunsmithing, better reloading, better shooters, you get the idea. But the fact is that the winning…[Read more]

This is great stuff and I applaud you fellows for taking the time to share your understanding of our sport. Gunny mentioned being consistent with what you do and then stated that he does not weigh his primers. I do not either, BUT, it has been suggested to me that for all reloads to be the same, they all have to be exactly the same(whatever that…[Read more]

Here’s my take. I do not believe that a ‘shooter rifle’ would ever drift a bullet ‘into’ the wind. 100% of the time the cause would have to be shooter’s responsibility. A proper wind zero, if you dope the wind, a proper wind read and shooting all record bullets within that same condition, rifle cant, consistent point of aim are factors that…[Read more]

Milton, that is a fine looking rifle. Someone was very creative. Cannot wait to see it at Reese Bottom. Not sure what creedmoor is but that 6.5 bullet is becoming very popular. I have had several things done by Backwater Custom Rifles. Britt Jones over there in Livingston, Alabama does 5* work. Britt really impresses me with how quick he gets…[Read more]

You mentioned 100’s of hours…I am ashamed to offer up a number, but it would be a single digit I am for sure. If I have an observation of what takes…[Read more]

Gunny, I read your post a couple of hours ago and have decided to respond. First of all, a fairy told me that you had a mishap on your way to Reese Bottom last Saturday. Sorry that your were sidetracked and I wish you a full, speedy recovery. One would expect a Marine to come to the aid of another. Thanks for who you are. Okay, this is good…[Read more]

On these forums, a persons opinion is respected as debate, not argument. Keep it clean and keep it coming. WWE

Mr. Roland, I think you are referring to Richard Allen. Not sure if you heard or not but, in your honor, Mr. Allen won the closest to the X pot last Saturday. WWE

Mr. Roland, your input is always very interesting and to the point. One thing you missed though is that I do not already know all the answers. While talking to a friend the other day about the website, we ended up talking about our shoot and he mentioned the fact that some people are very hesitant to just show up at events like this without some…[Read more]
