Tackdriver VI rifles

[Jeff Buchanan]

I figured many people including myself want to know what people bring to the Super Bowl of shooting.

30X47, 41.5-42.8 H4198, Bart’s 112 grain FB bullets engraved .007”, Federal 205’s

Kauger BRIII RBLPRE
ABC barrel, 1-14.5” twist, 25”
B&A trigger
Rick Hudak LR walnut/carbon fiber stock
Sid Goodling 3.1 ounce tuner
I’ve been doing my own work since 1993

I shoot my favorite NBRSA light varmint 6PPC:

1998 Farley Action, I converted to a Drop Port. I build my own Rifles.
Krieger 13.5 twist barrel
My own Tuner
Scoville Stock
Jewel Trigger
March Majesta 8x80x56 Scope.
My own 68 grn BT bullet.
Alpha Brass.
Fed 205 primers.
I shot 29.2 grns of LT 32 on Saturday, (3450 fps), it did pretty good. I lost the tune on Sunday and fell back some. I should have switched to N133 when the humidity came in Sunday.

By the way, I used the big March Majesta on around 45x most of the time. That seemed to give the best combo of power and clarity. The 80x power was pretty much useless, like looking through a aquarium with dirty water.

 

[BartsBullets]

This year I shot a 6BRA

6BRA (Hammer) 272 no turn neck
Bat DS rb/re/lp
Bartlien 8 twist barrel
Bix n Andy trigger
Mataya stock
(Edit) Ezell Tuner
Lapua brass
Valdada 12x52 Terminator scope
Shooting 105gr Hammers
H4895 30.7 running around 2940 fps

The rifle shot well all weekend (2nd in grand Agg. It just needed a little better driver.

Shot my new (cough) proto type bullet for the Thursday no flag
terror match. Other then two major brain farts, and another issue,
these bullets are going to get more trigger time on them. I believe
you got a sample to ponder, Jeff ??
