We shoot one round each, no sighter at 500 yds, on 3.5" clays, until one guy wins.

Congratulations Mark for your first place win... I know you had some tough competition so winning the open class says a lot for you as an individual as well as a shooter.
I want to offer my congratulations to Greg Myrick for winning the Factory class...Lots of really good shooters there....George

Wow,
Looking at the results list, what does that tell you about the inherent accuracy of the 6mmBR cartridge. Thought there might be more "improveds" in the bunch, but at 500 yards there may be no advantage.

This sort of reminds me of how this site got started as 6mmBR.com . I had a .260 Rem and rebarreled it to a 6mmBR. The first measured group went into 0.168, with no-turn brass and Scenar 105s and a "book load". Hmmm I said.

It was a great shoot as always and congrats again to Mark for the win. Most all of the shooters went high in the shootoff, Mark made a great call and was 1 of only 2 shooters to hit in first round of SO. I believe that run went 3-4 shots deep before Blake had a miss, Mark didn't...

I made it into the open shootoff with 2 separate guns (one was a 6x47L instead of 2 6br's listed) & advanced into the 3rd place shutoff with both of those guns; only to get whipped by both of the two youngest shooters there (one with my own gun ). It hasn't been mentioned yet but that 2nd place in open was also a youngster; my 15yo son. Not gonna be long until we will have to get used to Blake and Cash whipping us way too often. Reflecting, I'm just glad neither one of them was in factory class.

Also, congrats to Jonathan Dunn for the win on the egg shoot. IIRC he won it four rounds deep (going 3/4 egg hits) & was also shooting a 6BRX. Still not sure how he didn't break all his skeet... ;D ;D ;D
