All the 1000 yard IBS Heavy gun Benchrest agg. records fall!

I have to ask I know there a lot variables, but in your type and level of shooting what would you think the round count would be before when you say that barrel is toast and you replace it and again that set up is a work of art. Thanks for sharing

It's about done with the "special" now already at 800ish. It has shown some opening up recently, and a retest of powder today was so so. They can win matches for 1200 maybe a bit more, but that "magic" goes pretty quickly. Our 12 shot ladders, and 10 shot groups are ran in about 30 seconds after sighters, so that is pretty abusive.

That color of that wood is fantastic. That stock is flat BEAUTIFUL.
Thanks for sharing your powder measuring system.
You sure know how to make that rifle preform.

You’re not just a fair weather shooter. :)

You’re a HARD CORE accuracy hound.
You put in your time and work hard for everything you get.

PS.
I got to ask, what’s the fan for ? :) To blow the snow flakes away from your scope.

Hal,
The fan is to blow mirage away. A lot of guys have switched from the old school mirage shield to a fan.

Yes, I recall similar results you have posted a number of times. Yet the questions persist that a ladder with a few shots is not adequate while your resulting records continue to prove otherwise.

I think they are correct in that purple would no longer be a zero if I shot 97 more of it into the group. But it would be a better 100 round group than brown, and I don't need any more info than this example to know that.

One of our best shooters @Torge has been known to use 2 of each increment, and set multiple aggregate records. With multiple barrels, and multiple years... But he can actually shoot!

Tom,,what a great year of shooting,,,, you certainly have put the time and effort into it and deserve the good results,,,Roger
PS,,, I couldn't carry that rifle up the steps. There at deep Creek.Haha

For 99% of us it's to move the hot air coming off the barrel away from the optic...for @Northridge it's to keep him from overheating lol.

What a run Tom, looking in the “rear view mirror “ would require backing up as there is to much to assess by view alone… none possible with out a damned fan Lol I guess those ladder sets with a “lack” of shots paid off “again” ‍‍‍ stacking “potential “ is the name of the game…. Curious what a good barrel might look like?

How about a picture of him behind the rifle actually shooting. A short video would be better, I would like to study his technique. Makes my 1", 5 shot groups at 200 look like patterns.
