    How are you guys dropping your powder?

    Re: How are you guys droppng your powder? I drop the powder a tenth or two low and trickle up on a tuned Redding #2, it is sensitive enough to measure Varget down to the kernel. I found it to be an economical alternative to higher end digital balances, although a digital is probably faster...

    Re: MARCH 2010 SH 100 TO 300 YD RIMFIRE COMPETITION Well it's been a while since I've posted up some scores and now I see the rules have changed, oops. We are now shooting 25 shots at gongs and targets, correct? Not a big deal, I shot a 296-11x TQ4 prone and my gong size is unofficial. Guess...

    All these .22 duds

    Re: All these .22 duds Ida, I'm curious as to what type of ammo and rifle you run. I think I choose my words poorly when I said I have had "many" duds. My round count was just under 4900 last year and had probably around 10 FTF's, I didn't really keep track of them. I just get nervous when...

    All these .22 duds

    Re: All these .22 duds I get occasional duds and I use decent ammo,SK Standard Plus (same as Wolf Match). My theory on it is that there are sometimes air pockets in the rim that don't have primer material where the firing pin strikes.I believe a dirty weapon could be an issue but my duds...

    300 Yard .22LR -&- SH 200 Yard Gong Competition

    Re: 300 Yard .22LR -&- SH 200 Yard Gong Competition I've been shooting a 3" ShootNC at 100yd all along (instead of 3.5") and can manage a 30 of 30 sometimes if the wind is cooperating, it is not a given though. I'm all for a 25 round match since it's better ammo management. I will pick and...

    Lyman 1200DPS 3 vs. RCBS Chargemaster

    I'm looking to get a powder dispenser and I would like comments on these units. It looks like the Chargemaster can separate the scale from the dispenser. Can the Lyman be used as a scale only? It would be nice for weighing bullets, cases,etc. Thanks for any insight. Steve

    Re: DECEMBER 2009 SCORES 25+50 YD RIMFIRE COMP Has anyone else tried this yet? Boy that target doesn't want to stay still when shooting freehand, even with the use of a sling. Lots of fun though and definitely skills that I need to be improve. Steve
