30BR vrs 6PPC in wind

[WillyTP]

I don't know which 3 of the top 10 it was but I can name most of the ones that it wasn't.
That said, a 244-3x won the 300 yd portion. That score tells us that conditions were pretty brutal. That's exactly when a higher bc and speed will be most advantageous. I don't remember any talk of the 3 dashers in the top 10. Tell me more.

Conditions were terrible. I remember the most experienced shooter there, Mr. Allie Euber saying that Sunday was the worst he had ever shot in.

This was the perfect storm of conditions where the 6's running the 90-108 class bullets had an advantage against the wind over the 30's. Not that the 30's didn't hang in there, most of them could at least make out a bullet hole from time to time. Those running the 6 really had to trust everything similarly to Mr. Jim O'Hara describes in long range shooting. They hit the sighter, found a hold and tried to run em as fast as possible. I do stand corrected, one ppc fire the first card at 300, then he put it in the truck....lol.

I'm really surprised that there wasn't a lot of talk about 3- 6 Dashers in the top 10 at a national championship score match. Seems like that would've garnered some talk. Maybe there was and I just don't remember it.

Interesting, but the fact is the conditions you described were an anomaly. Given normal conditions that prevail at the majority of venues, the equipment list will look very different.

Todd who were the 3 people in the top 10 at 300? If I had to guess, 2 of them would of been Anthony & Dewey? Am I correct? Me and Anthony were talking about a 6 Dasher for 300 yards. I was all hyped up about it until I talked to Randy Robinette. He talked me right out of it. That's when I went to building my 30 Jag2. It was the right move. Even Breeden said to me after I won the 200 yard portion of the Nationals in NY, he said boy does that gun shoot well.

That's the ones. How's winter treating you?

Feel like a popsicle up here. How's the bullet making thing going? You like making those pills? I still have that Hawk Hill 6x47 that Anthony chambered and shot it a few hundred times. Sid made me a couple of custom dies for it. He's going to lop off a few threads and run his 6x47 reamer thru it. Gonna get me some of those new Bart's 80 grain boattails and try my luck with it at a few shoots up here at 300 yards. Smokin Joe Entrekin sold me a barrel with only 50 rounds thru it. It was a project that he started tinkering with in 2001 and he never saw it thru. Sold me everything with it including the reamer. Called a 30 Thrasher. Body is a tad smaller than my 30BRX but it has a longer neck. Should be interesting.

Going good, I had to wait until 9 tonight to work any, still hot down here.

Must be rough being so hot down there.

OK, now I'm curious. What's a 30 Jag2 look like?

A variation of a 30x46 with a 35 degree shoulder instead of the usual 30. Running 43.5 of N133 with Bart 112 X-outs. 22.5" Hart 16tw, .066 freebore, avgs 3210fps. These are the 30's that I will be running this year. Left to right, 30 Gorilla, 30BR, 30 Thrasher, 30BRX, 30 Dasher, 30 Jaguar2.

You don't by chance have a reamer print for the 30 Thrasher (providing it's not proprietary) that you can send me? It's close to what I'd like to do to my 30BR.

I admit at the rate I go through bullets the price of the 30 cal pills is why I am gonna try the 6BR first,,and honestly if it doesnt work out I may try the 30 BR and I may try the 220 Beggs,,

I know the targets are the same accordingly but in my mind it seems the bigger dot on the 22 target should be easier to hit even if I know it isnt,,LOL,,

I am really lookin forward to shooting the 13.5 twist zero FB 6BR ,,and may even get one of Mikes tuners screwed on ,,

it is evident that all yall are way over my head,,I am just trying to get where I can shoot 500 on any given day,,

and the new Gallatin Gun Club Range cant be finished fast enough,,
