    Trapdoor Windage Instructions

    Trapdoor Windage Instructions

    After sitting in the closet for a long while, the old girl made it to the range today. After a couple sighters and un-assing my head, she shot pretty well. 100 yards. Lee 300 gr bullet 12 grains of Unique with a floral foam plug to keep the powder in place.

    Rifle Competition Events Vintage sniper postal match

    I’m looking to see if there would be any interest in a Vintage Sniper Postal Match? Here’s what I have in mind, 100 yards on a reduced target. Not everyone has access to a 300 or 600 yard range. Going by the CMP rules for equipment and time limits for competition. Shoot one match per month...
