Re: SHWW Group
Well so far the storm damage doesn't sound too bad---I'm keeping my fingers crossed. As far as chaining up goes, the problem is drifts--most vehicles get high centered on the wet heavy snow--its great for snowmobiles but sucks for wheeled vehicles--we were using 6 wheel atv's and a rhino but got tired of fighting the drifts so we will end up going back back up there to finish the work in the company snocat. So far its looking good for the scouting trip on sunday tho

Re: SHWW Group
Hopefully the local pud will get Widow's power turned on soon, we don't normally get called in for the local distribution stuff till the whole world falls down. We get to rebuild the high tension lines -- sounds like some of our crews are working on lines near him. I may still get called out yet, probably not till monday.

Re: SHWW Group
power finially came on last night but everyone on 112 is still out i hear. the only thing im worried about is the is a tree laying across some lines that is a ways off the road not sure if they have to shut down power to fix that.

Re: SHWW Group
Well I have had a run of bad luck. Rifle I got in a trade was shipped to the wrong FFL so no new AI for me this weekend.
My end up at CRPC with the HS HTR and the RRA DCM rifle but I was really looking forward to the AI.

No the new guy is pretty good....the whole NC Machinery work force was cut back 20%...salary employees have to take a week every month and hourly loose 8 hours a week. The rest of the branches are pretty slow, we aren't but oh well...they are starting to be more of a mediocre employer...no re-do bonus, cut our 401k matching, cut our yearly $50 gift cards, locked wages from 2008...but hey at least there is a job but they were a very competitive employer but are loosing that rather fast....but I suppose every employer is loosing their edge.

Re: SHWW Group
Well, Tribe and I scouted out the shooting area I was talking about. It was pissing down rain and the wind was blowing strong and cold. Bad news is -- toooo many people using the area at this time-- the hunters and off-roaders have laid claim to most of the same area I was looking at. Good news is that we did find a good 500-600yd stretch that we can hang steel for afternoon shoots, with possible room to expand later. Don't give up hope yet however, I have a couple more areas that I am looking into. We ended up going to the cascade range and Tribe introduced me to his version of sporting clays--it was a real kick-in-the-ass, make full size clays into small pieces one round at a time then make the small pieces into splinters--one round at a time till you cant see em any more, so the day turned out good after all.

Re: SHWW Group
Tribe,
great shooting with you yesterday! I still want to do some testing on that rifle of yours! Seriously, Dennis called and he's more than willing to fix that trigger.
Kombar,
Nice meeting you! Good luck with that build. I'd love to see what your stock looks like when it's done.

Re: SHWW Group
As always Ranger! Glad you made it back over safe and sound. I'm sure Dennis is willing... and he is THE trigger man... but to tell you the truth... sometimes I just like to have a good excuse to go visit the Old Man.

Re: SHWW Group
first round of testing for the blackwidow done yesterday. 139gr of retumbo overall length of 4.48 gave me a velocity of 3295.6 and a 3 shot group of .971 moa at 400 yds. neede to go out again i wasted 12 rds just to get on target father in law is a terrible spotter.

Re: SHWW Group
Hi, gents. I've been reading your posts here for a while. Sounds like you all are having some fun south of me somewhere. Tribe invited me over from my 2K thread, so I decided to give a shout. Where abouts are you guys at? I'm always looking for new places to shoot, & someone to shoot with. I'm all alone up here as far as I know.

Re: SHWW Group
Bigwheels! Right on... our first "North Ender"! Hopefully your post will drag some more guys from your way, out into the light.... I'm in Sammamish and would call "home range" Cascade Rifle and Pistol Club. You'd be welcome to join me any time you had the gumption..... ........but, a club is a club... and a shootin' spot... well, thats special.... have gun, WILL travel!
We try to put together shoots whenever possible... it may just be a couple of guys any given weekend, or when all of the stars align, a good size group of us. The challenge of course, is in finding the open country to play in... Any time you need a spotter &/or shooting buddy... post it up, or send out a PM, and I'm sure you'll find a taker or two!

Re: SHWW Group
Thanks Tribe. I haven't shot at a "range" for years. Got tired of all the idiots @ thier stupid questions, among other things. I'm interested in joining you guys some time for some long range practice. I'm real tired of shooting @ the same old place all the time. All the other places I used to shoot are either overgrown or the road is gated off now. I have a few steel targets I can throw in, but I can't carry them far. I was looking at the weather for this weekend, & it looks promising. I may be able to go to my usual spot. Or perhapse smoewhere else??

Re: SHWW Group
bigwheels, welcome! it is nice to find people that have access to longer ranges. ours out west we can get 1200 roughly. some of us really want to stretch the legs on our guns. only on mine we might have to keep looking to really stretch her legs. she is not quite ready yet. almost still dialing her in. 2000yds should be a walk in the park for the cartrige. after 24-2500 i'll have to get a different scope to reach farther.tribe we can see if your little moth can hit a mile!!

Re: SHWW Group
Cant complain that it was a total waste since it beats working but it wasnt a great day for shooting. Think we got there at 10 and we rolled out by 12-1230. Was a bit crowded for my liking and I wasnt thrilled about not having my AI so I decided to be spotter and I couldnt find my tripod so shooting the DCM rifle was a no go as well. We ended up going to Cabellas.
Got the AI and everything set up last night so I'll be back at it soon. Looks like a half day at work on Wednesday followed by Thurs-Sun off
so I should be able to get some range time worked in there.
I did end up shooting my 870 finaly. Its been a work in progress for over a year, with the porting and endine shooting slugs was nothing. Really pleased with that.

Re: SHWW Group
Came out pretty well. I'm processing it myself to save some money. made the jerky a couple days ago and finally got the steaks from the backstraps in the freezer. Now I'm just waiting on my friend to grind the rest up into hamburger for me. I'm pleasantly surprised with how well the jerky came out though

Re: SHWW Group
yep! so Widow, have you ever posted up what caliber the blackwidow is??? All signs are pointing to really big, and shooting a long ways, but I haven't noticed you say it yet! or is it something that is a wait and see for myself at the next shoot haha

Re: SHWW Group
no i'll tell you its a 375 cheytac, it has a big bench rest stock on it and a 32 " barrel with a cheytac brake, 40 moa base with my pos leupy 6.5-20x50 mk4 scope. still in the test phases for ammo. best group so far is a .971 moa group at 400 yds. gonna see if i can shrink that group down. hopefully i'll have some ammo left for our next shoot. only got 49 bullets left. they cost $125 for 50 bullets. and coming into christmas time funds are slim. i only have 40 cases hopefully i can get my hands on some more.

Re: SHWW Group
Hi all, just thought I would introduce myself being new to the site...
I was in the Army from 89-92 (97G10) and even though my MOS didn't require me to carry a rifle too much I always loved to shoot.
Married with a couple of kids (stepson who is 19 and a 6 year old boy). I work in a geeky IT job so it's nice to get away from that for a bit from time to time.
At the moment all I own is an HK USP45 tactical and a MAK90. I am wanting to get into some longer range target shooting so I'm hoping maybe there are folks around the area that can help me with that and teach me a few (or a lot
) of things.
I've lived in Maple Valley the last 10 years, looking forward to talking with you!
Take care,
Marty

welcome nailz there is only one thing wrong with hanging out with us and going to the shoots... when you get behind some of these guns you start wanting the nice scopes or stocks and if you can't hold back like me it can get expensive unless the wife shuts down the spending(so i like to spend money!)other than that bunch of great guys lots of knowlege and a hell of a good time blasting steel!

But if anybody wants a great christmas gift I think they were around $80....and they work great!!!
So are you all cleared up now Tribe? How are we looking to get out to the Sol Duc again? Or possibly that 2k range in Anacortes? I didn't see if there were ranges closer than 2k for us non-Cheytac shooters!!!
