And Another HBR Question:

[Pete Wass]

At the point I shot yours I was shooting the Indian Hammock "matches" with a Ruger 308 VT. I shot some really nice short range BR rifles. I wound up with an old Hall vintage BR rifle in 6PPC. Between Capt. Bob's, Jon's rifles and yours I kind of got hooked. Jon had a 30BR, and a 22 waldog that both would really shoot. He also had a hunter BR that got lost in the shuffle.

Do you know where Jon's rifle went? Is Capn Bob still around?

Jon's sons took control of his rifles. I asked to buy the 30BR and was told no. I know the son that's an attorney cannot load for it and was told the one that owns the marine construction business can load. I used Capt. Bob to do transfers, but it got to be a long drive and I went back to one of my fathers student that is local and has an FFL. Capt. Bob told me he was going to get a membership to the Lorida shooting club and he would call me to come try it out and see if I wanted to become a member. Never heard from him. I miss our trips to the Hammock.

Capt Bob made some ammo for the guy that owned the Hall I got from him. When Bob brokered the exchange, he told me the cartridges in the box are weighed and put in the box in order. I am like "What?" The first is the lightest and the last is the heaviest and they are in order. Why? He says Mikey only bought 100 and I didn't have enough to sort them in batches so when you shoot 5 shot groups the 5 will be the closest to each other. I have only ever taken one cartridge out of the box at a time, and they shoot well that way. One of these days they will get so bad I have to tumble them, and I will have to start all over again. never heard of it being done this way, but I have shot zeros with this gun when the temp is right.
