Re: SMACK the Smiley SUMMER 09 - Targets Due Aug 24!

Mine and my brothers are coming back today. I REALLY need to quit waiting until the last day to shoot these.

This was the only brightspot on an otherwise disappointing lottery ticket.

Hey DK, I had 2 rounds that wouldn't chamber as well during the shooting of this group. Now there's some evidence of galling on one bolt lug. Must not have been a good weekend for shooting.

Thanks again for doing this, Jason. I learned a lot already.

Good to see there is still some learning going on

Nice group! My guess is just under 0.2"

I hope everyone got their target in the mail today!

Good luck!

JB

Nice shooting Mike!! I wish I could say that about my 3-shot, but mine was around 1/2". Hot day, barrel hot, I was hot (not in a good way) almost mad actually. I have no idea what happened on 2 of my shots at all, and I am still confused about them. The shots even felt good, but the results were way less than impressive. This last bit of the match ammo from that same lot that I shot the Spring Smiley with is lookin like how the soft point hunting rounds were hitting. It almost looked like a shotgun blast... it is definately time to buy a reloader and spawn my own!!

Re: SMACK the Smiley SUMMER 09 - Targets Due Aug 24!

I was loading a lot of pistol ammo for PPC and silhouette shooting a while back and I was too lazy to set convert back to 308 so I bought some South African surplus to use as practice ammo. That stuff was great! It shot about an inch which I thought was rockin for cheap surplus ammo. I went back to get some more and it was all gone.

I found some South American surplus at a gun show cheap so I took another chance with that. I could not believe ANY ammo could shoot that horrible! Talk about a shotgun. Ten shots wouldn't stay on an 8.5" x 11.5" target! I was checking my scope mounts and listening for rattles inside the scope.
I've never shot any of the FGMM. From all accounts I've read that's great stuff. $$Too!

I used to shoot exclusively FGMM 168gr. I bought 750 rounds and I went shooting. I was single at the time and didn't care about the cost... now times have changed. I still have 100 rounds of FGMM left and am holding on to it. I bought into Ultramax due to price, and my Savage absolutely has loved it... until the last 2 outings. Most of the shots are like laser beams, but some just fly off like they have a mind of their own... as evidenced on my Smiley target. Sheeeez.

Great quote..well here it is, my first post, second smiley match. I read the forum alot, but never really had a 2 cents on anything. This match is fun and I can't wait for the results! Sounds like I'm also in the same boat as some of you, thought I shot well, but the target proved otherwise. The idea of the lottery to reduce cheating is top notch. Thanks JB!

Stay Safe everyone!

Re: SMACK the Smiley SUMMER 09 - RESULTS POSTED

Thanks again for doing this JB. Guess I have to order another scope!

I must give credit for my respectable rimfire target to the Quad .22 that Jered/APA put together. It shoots better than my old Savage 17 listed in the equipment column.

Re: SMACK the Smiley SUMMER 09 - RESULTS POSTED

Nice job Steven W on the rimfire. That's a great score He and Matchking are always at or near the top.

Congratulations.

Re: SMACK the Smiley SUMMER 09 - RESULTS POSTED

Great job everyone!!! After the previous match, I had my trigger reworked on the 10/22 by Heier's Custom and WOW, what a difference... From 17th on the Spring match, to 5th on the Summer one! Thanks again JB... Can't wait to do it again!

Re: SMACK the Smiley SUMMER 09 - RESULTS POSTED BELOW

WOOHOO!!! I've been wanting a TAB gear sling for a while now!!!

That definately makes up for the depressing time I had shooting my target (I guess my accuracy finally fell off after 700 rounds without a good cleaning!).

Thanks again for all you do JB!!

JB

Thanks so much for all your efforts. I am already chomp'n at the bit for the next match.

I think I will shoot the 308, it seems I do better with it....lol

Those Bergers will come in handy because they shoot the best out of the 308.

THANK YOU Berger and to all the sponsors for supporting a fun shoot.

Thanks again
Jim
