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

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,
Great job my friend! I’m going to do my best to come see you all for the super shoot in August.

Alex,
Great write up, thanks for sharing

Alex has a video of Tom shooting (a different rifle) - but you can get a general idea of his technique.

From a observation standpoint, well and some discussion in regard gun handling There is some depth to Tom’s “ decisions on a given relay but if the “suns” going down Tom can flat get after the program “fast but soft” and clean is rare for most humans… the big gun has developed a altered or revised form… I do have video’s that would support this as Tom also does… if he wants to share those examples that would be his to share… sumbitch is “Bald” in every video

Yes, what Shawn is alluding to is that I have purposefully paced my wsm's. Based on previous guns that are made from "ringy" materials, it was my observation that targets were better when we come in closer to 30 seconds rather than 20. Although this rifle sounds dead more quickly, I didn't want to try a quicker pacing "yet". I actually took my speed feeder off on purpose to help me "remember"(habits!). There's definitely harmonics in the system longer with a bigger bullets/cartridges than we see in the 6s.

This literally was my first day out with this gun. I had explored seating on the barrel on my other M previously, as the reamer was new/unknown.

Were you sweating bullets praying you didn’t slip and fall carrying the monster up those snowy steps on the first day out?

Yes absolutely. I kept thinking about the spill i took with a moose quarter and landed on my other wsm!
