Re: SHWW Group
Thanks guys. His name was Bear, & I called him my Little Bear. I got him on Thanksgiving in 1996 when he was just a few weeks old. He was the size of a pocket poodle with feet the size of my palm. He got his name because he was so stocky when we got him that he waddled like a fat bear when he walked. He grew 5 lbs a week for a several months, & topped out at 125 lbs. He loved to go with me in the truck. If I even looked at the door he was right there waiting for me to open it & he'd run to the tail gate, & wait for me to let him in. He also loved to chase rabbits in the field where I let him run around. He wasn't very good at catching them tho. He once almost had one 'till the rabbit rebounded off the fence, & scooted out right between his legs, & left him there sniffing, & wondering where it went. He was a great dog, & I miss him a lot, but it was his time. The only thing worse would be to watch him suffer.
Fare well Little Bear

Re: SHWW Group
Another FYI. I'll be up shooting tomorrow, so if anyone wants to join me I'll be on the dead end rd, by stage 5 or the clearing where Stage 8 was from BSCII. I'll be there around 10:00.

Re: SHWW Group
I have a lead on Fed 215M primers. I had these backordered since last year, I was able to find some else where but does any one need these? price would be somewhere between $37-$42/1K. Im not sure on the exact price due to shipping. But that figures in the hazmat. This would need to be FTF in the seattle area or at the next meet. Let me know if you need some of these.

Sorry to hear about your loss, Bigwheels. My folks shiba inu died two weeks ago and my (elderly) Dad is devastated. We're giving him time to grieve before bringing another "friend for life" home.

Re: SHWW Group
Is the January 15th Match in ellensburg a carry what you bring kind of match? I think it would be nice to have to carry everything the entire time from stage to stage. That would be fun!!!

I could see weigh-ins as being a bit of a chore...
.... but I've got a heavy-ass rifle!
No power's cool.... if that turns your crank... way I see it... you throw the match, you make the rules... just try not to make them too ghey...

Re: SHWW Group
I was just talking about run what you brung. if you dont have it you cant go back to the pickup and grab it. Dont have a shooting mat then too darn bad. No rear back too darn bad. No pack or case to carry your bipod or ammo or whatever too darn bad. Just a thought that it would be fun to have to load all of our stuff all day. It might help get people somewhat fatigued.
It might be cool to have a stage where you have to take say 5 shots and then load all your crap up and move to a different location a little distance away (Maybe 100-300 yards) and take another 5 shots. Maybe in a 5 or 10 minute time frame. sounds fun right?????
Anyway yeah bring what you got with a no power sleep out. That is what I am talking about. Perfect. LETS DO IT!!!!

Re: SHWW Group
Shoot, move, repeat... if you need it and don't have it... you're kinda hosed.
If you have it and can't move with it... you probably better figure out a better solution.
The purity of the idea (as I see it), is to put your round on the target..... period.
I don't believe that there is any such thing as "cheating" - only making the shot.... or not. Thus, "rules" are typically only a redundancy.
If a guy would carry it into the field... and up that big-ass hill over yonder... then so be it.... Let the course dictate... ...design a course that dictates!
All that said... often, the lay of the land is too restrictive... A COF that challenges the shooter within confines, is what it is.... and all of it is good!
That's the way I view this whole discipline anyway.... FWIW... which admittedly ain't much!

well i am back from mexico, drank alot and got a free mexican colon clensing (aka the runs)
it will be use what you bring as is always the case, however i don't have time to plan a course of fire with long movements in a single stage it just requires to much prep and to many ro's. keeping it limited in numbers (under 20) and less movement is the only reason i have time to plan and organize shoots. Having fulltime job and family makes it hard enough to get it all ready. I can guarentee it will be a fun course of fire and challenging for everyone (even the zen master tribe aka billy badass/gear guru)

Well I finally found a new job at a lumber mill. Once I get caught up on bills I should be back out or might wait till I'm done with the build I'm thinking of starting. It might be replacing the blackwidow for range and compactablity.

Re: SHWW Group
I finally got to get some shooting in today. Only had to wait for the fog 3 times. Not bad... Got a good load worked up for the 210 VLD's, & I'm stoked they print exactly where my 208's do. Now if I could only have my 208's show up... Got excellent CCB hits @ 750, & 910 yds too. Didn't have time to get farther out. Gets dark kinda early now. Maybe I can still shoot OK. Only fired 1 shot since Oct. MMMMM Venison.

Re: SHWW Group
Yup.
WW brass
WLRM primer
neck sized, & trimed to 2.615"
76.2gr H-RETUMBO
just touching the lands(2.770" to ogive)
Shot just under 1" @ 360 yds
I have a match chamber with a short throat in this brl. I'm out of case volume by 77 gr of RETUMBO. Strange that this gun liked the RETUMBO with the 210 VLD, but liked H-1000 for the 208 A-Max.

Re: SHWW Group
Hey guys, remember me? It's been a while! I was wondering if anyone has had any first hand experience with one of the falcon menace scopes? either the 4-14ffp or 5-25ffp. I'm looking to replace my hunting scope with something with a mil dot reticule and target turrets. unfortunately I'm still a broke college guy so I can't go leupold or that price range.
ETA: I've seen the reviews, just looking for some confirmation on them!

Re: SHWW Group
No word on Norcal yet, waiting like the rest I suppose. With regards to the scopes, haven't used the Bushnell but Scott at Liberty Optics is excellent and will buy from him again. And Guys a question, I need to buy a barrel for a project and was going to get one from the Benchmark guys, I needed a 30 cal chrom moly barrel in Remingtons varmint contour with a 1:10 twist, the finished lenght would be 24 inches. Is that all I need to tell them when I give them a call. Are all their barrels 3 groove with standard lands, just need the contoured blank.

Re: SHWW Group
Marty, they have other grooves but I would go with a 3 groove. Tell them all the things you have written above and you should be good to go. Also tell them you want a 3 groove.

Re: SHWW Group
Thanks Jake, I wasn't sure which of their barrels (grooves) would suit my needs best, obviously by reading some posts regarding their barrle it looks like the 3 groove barrels are really suited for 6mm calibers but I will ask for their advice

Re: SHWW Group
Thanks for the info, guys. I'll look into that scope more. It's a little pricey for me right now, but I think I'll save up a while more so I can get a better product. I don't want to make the mistake again of buying cheap and regretting it. I can't wait to make it back west for another shooting trip!

I was wondering if anyone has had any first hand experience with one of the falcon menace scopes? either the 4-14ffp or 5-25ffp. I'm looking to replace my hunting scope with something with a mil dot reticule and target turrets. unfortunately I'm still a broke college guy so I can't go leupold or that price range.
ETA: I've seen the reviews, just looking for some confirmation on them!</div></div>
I had one for a while (my first jump into mil/mil ffp).
If you get one, make sure you get it from somebody who will handle warranty issues for you (if possible), and first thing, check the turret tracking. The one I had, the clicks were about 10% too big (dial 1 mil, get 1.1 mils of adjustment). Others said they tracked fine though, so probably just a QC type thing.
If you take off the turrets and clean off a bunch of the grease, the clicks will be much less mooshy (though may lose some water resistance).
