Dust off your deuce update.

Would be neat if your participants included dat of gun and loads.
I would have gotten involved, but all of my brass is loaded with my varmint loads. My best loads were with a target bullet that gave no “splat” on vermin.
 
Deuce postal match is full. 20 shooters from 14 states. Thanks to everyone who entered. Targets will ship out shortly. Looking forward to seeing some tiny groups and aggs. Good luck to everyone.
Scott.
No need to hurry here. Snowbanks are still taller than me (I'm 6'4").
 
I'll see how my first ever 222 can do with you veterans. One of the few cartridges I never tried,,, to anemic in my cowboy days? Kinda kicking myself now just starting to work with the old school BR build. I certainly overlooked a true GEM!

Fired my first target today 100+ degrees and windy, next week is is suppose to calm down. We've had a hot windy June our ranges are out on the desert.
 
Well I wont be pushing anyone out of the top contenders! I shot this morning and learned a lot about myself and my inability to read mirage. And my own stupidity...I forgot to remove the sling stud from the rear. I caught it on target five. I wish I could turn my targets upside down and enter the sighter groups!

This has been a lot of fun, and hats off to the OP for organizing this. I'll be sending some $ in the target envelope to cover his expenses.

And might I suggest another match...say for 22PPC or 6x47 Rem old school (or close variants)?
 
I have everything ready to go, waiting for the right morning in the next week or two and then I am going to shoot some really small four shot groups with a 5th shot out in the wild blue yonder.
Ha, I have been waiting for a good morning, or evening, for 2 months. Either it's high gusty wind or rain during the night and high sun. Mirage is horrible. Looks like after next weekend things will get better do I will be a last minute Charlie.
 
I need to get on the ball. I ddint relize the turn in date was so close. Now where did I put them targets???? Will be shooting a 788 rem. and just got a 36x sightron mounted last night.
 
So I am not the only one to wait, wait wait...then sleep thru the best morning in a month, only to get ABUSED by mirage? And slapping on the Sightron 36...yup, did that last night too, then did the field expedient "look thru the barrel at a dandelion get it on paper and pray I don't hit the upper target" thing.

Gosh, I really enjoyed this, even though I stinked it up.

I really would like to see a 6x47 (I have a 6x50) postal match. The gun is OLD, but so fun. And I have a twin to it, a 22 PPC. So lets see a 22PPC, 22PPC Short and a 6x45/47/50 match! 100 yards...I don't have a 200 yard range.

It’s been windy here for 3 weeks, everyday, literally. I’ll find a window of opportunity this week regardless. Fun!
