So, what are you going to shoot THIS year?

Gonna try a 300 PRC this year. Built on a Savage long action with a Shilen SS Select barrel and XLR HD chassis. Just need to sandblast(coal slag) the barrel action, paint and assemble. I'll post a few photos when it completed.
Just finishing up the 300 PRC. Getting to be time for the range and some load development. Hard to tell from the photo, but yes the scope just clears the forearm.

Didn't read ANY of the 4 pages of posts.....but I am going to go back to RL 15 in all of my Dasher tubes for 600/1000 IBS. I shot like shit the last two years with RL 16. Also tried Varget and H4895.

I will be shooting my 30BR at our NBRSA Region Varmint for Score Matches.
If Walker County has their Claybreak Matches, I will try to shoot a 6BR with my own bullets.
I will only attend, as of now, one Group Match, that being the Bluebonnet at New Braunfels. That is 6PPC time.

I had had a big year planned, with the Short Range Score Nationals being at Lake Charles La. but three straight hits from hurricanes this year left the range in shambles. They will have their regular NBRSA Score Matches, as they still have 16 useable benches. But a Nationals is out of the question. No word as of yet who or when the Short Range Nationals will be held.

Then there is the TackDriver. I’m already registered in and will make it come neck or high water. Unless something changes, I will be shooting my 6PPC.
 
I'll continue to shoot my 260AI "rat rod" and hopefully have the new BR maple stock done this year as well as finishing my 6br build by this spring. The 6br is for the other half because I've wanted a 6br for a while now, lol! Its getting a custom painted stock as well. Her favorite colors are Tiffany blue and coral pink, so she's getting a Tiffany blue stock because I just couldn't show up to the line with a pink rifle, hahaha!

Keep her in the game and you'll have it made!

Thats the plan! Next I'm going to have to get her to buy her own powder, primers and bullets, lol! My ultimate end goal is to have her be my competition shooting partner and eventually hunting. I have 22LR rifles to her going for now, but thought a 6br would be a good lower recoil choice for accurate centerfire and longer distance stuff. Not going to start her off with rifles fitted to me and more recoil than what she may consider comfortable with no recoil pad, so only option is to build one to suit her. I already had a 12.5" LOP 40xbr stock in inventory. Got a R700 with CBI remage, Shilen trigger, Sightron 36x scope. Should be a good little rifle. Will probably get her a BE front rest and paint it to match.
 
Today I picked up a GSG Firefly and a Taurus Tx22. They both shoot good. I'll be shooting them quite a bit this coming year.
 
I'll continue to shoot my 300PRC 230gr A-Tips at 1mile paper and 1mile to 2500yd steel targets. Hopefully I can take what I learned this year and increase my wins and decrease my groups for 2021.

I'll shoot some 1000yd paper too...but I just don't know what caliber it will be this year just yet.
 
With regard to Jackie's post number #64- The 2021 NBRSA short range 100/200 Hunter/VFS score matches will be on August 3-4-5-6 at the Benchrest Rifle Club of St Louis. It will be the normal format of Hunter Class on August 3 & 4 and VFS on August 5 & 6. Hope you can make this Jackie!
 
Gonna shoot up my, old, OLD, CCI Primers and 4895 from, the Mid 1980's, in my New, soon to be built, 6 XC !
Got quite a few, Sierra #1515 80 gr. Varminters and 70 gr NBT's, to go thru ( thankfully ! )
Will be switching over to, Vhit N-150 and Win StaBall with, the Newer Primers,.. LATER !
 
Moving from a straight 6br to a 6BRA this next year. IBS 600 yard, want to try the 1000 yard game with the new gun.
 
Gonna have to get into archery at this rate.
You'll never see anybody wearing ear protection at the archery range, not even indoors. Anybody interested in it might consider 'field archery', which is sort of like golf. 14 targets distributed through an outdoor course, at different distances, and you shoot 4 arrows at each one. Up to four people in a group, at least that's how it was when I was competing.

Those of you still doing time in northern CA might want to check out 'Redwood Bowmen', near Chabot Space & Science Center in Oakland. That range was great, and (mostly) free to the public. And once you become proficient, you are re-using your bullets. Still, not an inexpensive sport. Quiet though!
