Oh hell no!!!! SHWW is all about the rain, sleet, hail and wind!! It is actually easier to read the wind in the Sol Duc when it is raining!!! It blows enough to move the water in tha air and you can see every change in direction!

Gotta break them in like we did Tribe!!! Herd of Elk, hail, rain, wind, shooting from under the vehicle to try to stay dry!!!

There will be a free for all shootout with newbies in the Sol Duc as soon as hunting seasons allow!

I just need to get my canopy back on!!!

[Mayday]

Re: SHWW Group

well speaking of wet weather, Danska and i went out today and did some load work/shooting. the day was a sucessful one for both of us. we founds some killer loads for are rifles and banged some steel at 800 and 1100 yards. well joe hit the steel at 1100. i made 2 nice groups on both sides of it, the wind just did not want me to contact that damn target. well anyways i figured i would share some range pics of the day.

 

[danska]

Re: SHWW Group

Nice! You can see our makeshift rain cover, it worked quite well. I brought my portable reloading set-up, and dialed in a decent peforming load. The wind wasn't blowing too hard at all, but it kept picking up from nothing to just a little so that 1100 yard section was pretty challenging.

The 208 A-MAX and .308 found a happy match I believe, Mayday's .300 WIN shot one big hole with his 210 Bergers. I loved being able to load 20 of the same load that worked for me up so we could bang some steel after our development stuff.

Re: SHWW Group

There is a little bit better shot of my portable set-up. Its a cheap lee press, all I use it for is seating my bullets. I just bring fully processed brass with me throw a charge off the Harrell and seat. Like I said once I figured my charge weight I loaded a bunch up, hit 9/10 @ 800 (missed the first because of a dope guess). Normally I shoot a private range so no one minds me loading there, but out here its even better. The only hard part is finding a little table or something to clamp to. If you have any questions let me know.

Thanks! I must tell you that a friend came up with the design, but I couldn't find a way to do it any better. I have another larger Lee press I'd like to use but it mounts up a bit longer and is harder to get mounted correctly.

Re: SHWW Group

A super easy way to mount the reloading setup would be off of a 2" reciever hitch. Make it long enough so that it sticks the press at about the same heigth as the tailgate and you would have a work bench that could mount to any truck or reciever.


Show me the base of your press or how close you could mount the thrower and the press and I can probably make you somthing that would kick ass for field reloading.

Don't forget about the Quuigley reloading style also. LEE makes a system that you use powder dippers and a hand predd similar to a primer seater. That's how the old timers would do it....and they were around $20 a pop....I missordered them from Cabelas when I was first looking for a cheap beginner set of dies!!!

Hi guys, just want to say hello for my first post, I am a long time friend of the other newbie "beretta682" and live in port orchard. love to shoot long range and always looking forward to meet other shooters.
I may need a coupple t-shirts too

Re: SHWW Group

that is a brilliant idea captain, i need to do that too now.

Re: SHWW Group

Awesome. That gives me some ideas of using it witn my vehicle. My jeep dosent have any thing good to mount to.

Is it heavy enough to keep from rocking around or do you secure it somehow?

I will bring FL resized cases, so I am just charging and seating, not any resizing or brass prep out in the field.

Re: SHWW Group

Yeah I'm doing the same, so I think I could set something up just like yours for doing it in my car. If I'm at the range it dosen't matter as I have a bench to c-clamp to, but I don't always have Mayday's truck to use

[Bigwheels]

Re: SHWW Group

Well, akmike & I did some shooting yesterday. The wind was blowing pretty hard, but you just gotta do it. He's well on his way to a LR addiction. Got his first hits @ 400/700, & 760. Wind was too much for 900 tho. His trace was right on target 'till the last couple hundred yds, & then it banked hard right like a jet fighter. Was something to see. We'll do it again when the wind isn't blowing so hard, & we'll get him out to 1K.
I did a function test of my 338WM hunting rifle @ the 400 yd steel, but knocked it out with 1 shot. Now I have to figure a better way to hang it. Yanked the bolt holding the chain right out!
Had a good time.

Sorry Blackwidow and Bigwheels. I am unable to make this coming weekend....in budget crucnh mode currently!!! Need a new build!!

Re: SHWW Group

Oh well. We'll manage without ya. I'll need to do a little clearing for the target area, but shouldn't be too bad. I'm sure a couple others will want to come up for the LONG SHOT too.

Re: SHWW Group

Big thanks to Bigwheels, I had a great time, was hard to stop
smiling especially after hitting achmed at 700. The first round hit at 400 was cool too(since I hadn't shot past 200m previously). Thanks for all the tips and info, my brain was spinning at some points but I figure it'll just take time and more shooting.

I have to admit it was hard to keep up with a guy who makes 24 out of 28 hits on steel between 500yds and 650yds in the last 2 stages. way to demonstrate how its done.

thanks everyone for coming out and give it a shot. it was good to practice in the wind.

WOW!

What were the last two stages?

 

[TEAMSENDIT]

Re: SHWW Group

about half prone, half barracade/improvised shooting positions all at 10x10" hanging plates with 7-11mph wind. along with a few hanging balloons that were doing some real dancing. i tried keeping pace with 21 of 28 hits buts i think the pressure got me, yeah thats it.

you definetly missed out tribe you would have love the course, definetly better than last time.
