I find it interesting in having the need for "traveling in time" to attend this match.

They did this so components will still be plentiful back then thus increasing the attendance. I'll be there...H.G. Wells willing....

Got registered yesterday. I'll tell you the story Deny..

I'm looking forward to it. In the meantime, I will acquire a mongoose, just to be safe.

And watch that Samuel Jackson movie.

I have been enjoying 6’s for 600. I saw this last Sunday how capable I am of dropping 9’s with the BR.

I’m looking to the .243 for November with 45.3 grains of powder instead of the BR’s 30.0. The silver tipped 6’s holes all touched nicely at 200.

At 110 grains to 45.3 grains of powder, the best ratio going means all 9’s are squarely on me.

I find you look at this wrong David. Usually all 9’s are the shooters fault with any caliber. Wrong wind call or gun not in tune or inconsistent ammo. You can’t beat the wind. You should know this better than anyone.

I beat it senseless when it just stands still . This is what scares me so much about my 6BR, below. The glass half full would be that it shot clean; I can load it well enough to keep 14/15 X ring tall. But the glass half empty view of that match would be that a bunch of those 10’s were almost 9’s.




The wind on that match maxed out my ability to shoot clean. That’s the age old 30.0 Varget under 107 SMK load. It gets an A for Accuracy but a B for bucking.

In a match with less wind on that same day, small wind calls produced a very nice target, with a higher X count and no shots coming even close to the 9. So the gun works, but that’s not enough to save me.

Those were from August. On the first 600 yard match last Sunday, the wind got me with 14 and 15 going out right side, that’s on my home club range I supposedly would know well, with a generous but still insufficient counter-hold on shot 15. Got me 3 more times match 2.

I view it that if the gun/load trails the field in accuracy or wind efficiency, and points drop relative to others as a result of that difference, that’s on the gun. If the shooter lags the field in calls, handling skills, or errors like crossfires, those drops are on the shooter. In F-Class, both are the merged responsibility of the competitor, but they are still different things, as seen when we often credit the smith or our component parts for their distinct role when things go great.

In other matches, qualifying, and shooting in general, especially in the course of duty, assigned, traded and borrowed guns are routine, and the shooter can only manage the hand dealt. I’ll definitely put it in the car to go, but it would have to be really calm. The state 600 will probably have silly numbers of clean scores shot.

We'll be shooting from the 600 yard line. Mr. Wally stays in his pond near the 1000 yard line. We did have somebody go check on him at the last match in September, but he did not report back. In fact, now that we're talking about it, I don't recall seeing since that time. I understand we did have to pick up an abandoned rifle and assorted equipment at the end of the match. I don't know if anyone has claimed the equipment yet. Maybe he'll show up at the match this weekend. Stay tuned.

Denys, I've been throwing dead chickens in the ditch behind the 600yd line. A north wind in October may entice him from his lair. Bwaahaaahaaa.....BWWWAAAHAAHAAAA!

10 days to go. We have some great shooters signed up but still have some openings. Weather should be great.
