UBR-Two Brothers Rifle Range-Auburn KY-October Match

[gunsandgunsmithing]

Thanks for clearing that up. I`m of the opinion the new chambering spoke quite well of its potential, especially with such a talented field, excluding yourself of course, with fireform loads. I am still amazed. I would think you would have shared this opinion. But I know how competitors are from being one myself!!!

I`m always happy when someone shoots well with something I have had my hands on, I know you know that feeling. Working with Larry is quite nice as he is simply a super nice fella. I`ll do all I can to help him.

Tim, FWIW, I didn't know that you had a hand in it. Not that it matters, because I'd still say the same thing. It obviously doesn't shoot bad...he won with it! I don't tune my rifles in 25mph switchy conditions for the same reason as my previous post. It simply leaves a lot of variables on the table when conditions are really nasty. He says it shoots though, and I believe him. The logic is sound too..a higher bc bullet should be more forgiving in tough conditions. I think you're reading way too much into my post. It was in no way to say that the gun will or won't shoot. It only means what it says...that conditions made it a shooter's day, not a good day to evaluate ultimate potential accuracy. Nothing more, nothing less.

I'm amazed too...that you seem to be making a big deal of nothing, speaking strictly of my comments.

It was a big deal that he won, though. Congrats go to him. If you barreled the rifle, congrats to you too.

Have you any idea how much grief I took for shooting my 30 Major(necked up Grendel) for the last 11 years now? I've been told I was re-inventing the wheel..will never compete with a 30BR, too small, too big, what's the point..7.62x39 ...I would've won if I was shooting a Br...not enough powders options, and the list is long, of the things I was told that was wrong with it. I didn't say anything like that about Larry's new gun and never even thought like that. Now, that same little necked up Grendel case owns a lot of wins and owns the world record 5 shot 100 yard group. If you know anything at all about me, it should be that I LOVE it when someone experiments with something new and it works!! That's a big part of why I love this sport..testing new things..and proving them to work or not.
I very much hope that Larry's gun and any new cartridge he uses turns the game upside down! I'm so tired of hearing that you're pissing up a rope with anything but a 6ppc or a 30BR! Or that "that's what all the top shooters do"! I'm excited for Larry and for you! I hope it works GREAT.

Now just please stop putting words in my mouth that I did not say nor intend to be taken at anything more than face value. Geesh!

I am really really hoping the 12 twist 6BRAI 80 gr load will stay in tune over the course of a match,,that is my trouble with the PPC,I can get it to shoot great at any one time but keeping it shooting in changing conditions is a problem for me,,I really think the trick to getting the BRAI to shoot with the PPC is quality 80 gr bullets.

and if it works Larry wont have time to shoot as he will be making bullets

After months of planning, it was sure nice to see the magic happen.

I see...and yes, it's a good feeling winning with your own pet project.

In the big scheme of things, the main person I care about must be happy, as I found out another barrel is on order.

Tim, you've always been a nice guy and I've always thought highly of you. Why you keep digging at this, I'might not sure, but I'm disappointed.
It seems you're top priority may just be self promotion. If so, you should just come right out and say it. If you have a bone to pick with me personally, call me, or just please drop this.

There is absolutely nothing aimed at you so why are you making a mess out of this thread. I wouldn`t think you`d want to hear what I have to say right now with your behavior. You are windier than an old man with a fork and a can of pork and beans.

You just want the last word and I`m not having any part of it, you can just keep typing responses and making blame, but you are just loosing your status as an reasonable adult. NOTHING in my last post was aimed at you.

Had I been self promoting I would have told of another shooter at that match had ordered a 12 twist barrel as well, so I guess I can say I am not the self serving type.

What I can take the blame for is being a proud individual, who has the God given ability to offer help to those friends who wish for proper treatment of their barrels.

You start winning matches, in those conditions fireforming new brass, then take the roll of the professor, till then, try and understand the reason God gave us 2 ears and only 1 mouth.

Just wow! Sad. No Tim, I was sincere about working anything out between us. I was hoping to.
