Auspicious beginning.
Took my Bergara lrp out for the first time today. 60 rounds.
0.466 moa with the Hornady Match ELD 140gr.
Really looking forward to my upcoming class from Colorado Precision Rifle @ Blue Steel Ranch.
Is that the one that went to Arkansas before coming to your doorstep? [Coffee]Quote:

I took my new 223 Ackley bolt gun to a match yesterday.
I had my new Terminus action barreled by Fritz at Black Canyon Rifles a few weeks ago. This replaced my Bighorn that was being an asshole feeding and caliber with a 223 based case. This action feeds like butter. Much smoother than the Bighorn.
Using a stout load of Varget in Lapua brass, I am pushing 80 gn Sierra bullets just over 3,000 fps.
I really like the minimal recoil and noise. After a string of 7 shots, my RO told me that the timer didnt pick up a single shot. My reply "You say that like its a bad thing." Gotta love Thunderbeast suppressors.
Here is a picture from a couple weeks ago. I was practing shooting off a tripod at 1,000 yards.

I am itching to get a Shadow 2 and/or TSO.Quote:

It is the elevation that gets me. Walk out to the targets drains me.
I need to get my gear dialed in.
South site public, or south site Frontier?Quote:

Spent Saturday afternoon in our last practice for the team 3 Gun Shoot this weekend. The two teenage boys that got some help from some folks here are pretty excited for next Sunday. The really nice thing about teens is that they can and will bend over to pick up brass so I don't have to.
Was looking for this thread. A couple weekends ago, I took the AK out to make sure it was still sighted in after chopping the barrel. I'm glad I did, as it was shooting low. So I adjusted it. I called the flyer.

Then last weekend I went to have a conjugal with my YHM Resonator. Both uppers shot much lower with the can mounted, that's a bit disconcerting.

I barely shoot guns anymore, since they’re boring once I stopped chasing nodes and little groups. Bows are so much more frustrating.
On Father’s Day, I took the bow out with a new arrow build which *should* be underspined, and confirmed out to 60 yards. I should be shooting a 340-300 spine. Am I? Nope. I don’t feel like shimming the cams this close to season, having ever done so. I have another bow which I can mess with, but with my short draw I need all the speed plus weight and FOC I can get. So to make a short story longer, I shot a bow.

They have fenced off most areas limiting the lanes you can shoot. It is public land.
Lots of trash and target debri which is sad.
Took the wife there Sunday. The fences didn't stop anyone from setting up and the place was packed. Found a spot all the way towards the back and brought out a contractor bag of shit from only a 400sf area. My bag doesn't do squat but just hope others seeing me picking up might encourage them to, at least, police their own trash.Quote:

I managed to shoot all three,, probably not more than 60 shots total. There was a gentleman there who was getting ready for a high power match that I stopped to talk to. Ended up getting some ideas on how to improve the accuracy of my .308. It was a good workout and a good day.
Shot a high power fun match
491-25X out of 500 .
Best score yet
Went to Franktown Firearms yesterday. Took the 6.5 Creedmore AR and decided to check my zero and was not disappointed. The 5-shot group below the bullseye is the off-set at 25 yards. The group above is 15 rounds at 25 yards with my hold-over. For just getting into the long-range game, I'm not disappointed with the way this build shoots. I was running Hornady 147 grain ELD-Match rounds.
Shot some steel plates, sold a gun, went home.
Had a bunch of new builds I had to give a run. Also went out to Great Guns for the first time. I did like it. Lots of room, had the range to myself after about 15minutes.

Also built something for a buddy of mine in CA..the Patriot pin etc...is actually not that bad. Takes some practice, but once you get used to it, you can work with it.

Saturday shot my .54 flintlock Hawken for a couple of hours
Road tested a few different ransom rest, during the ranges 1 yr anniv. Also swapped a 300 blk b.a., for a R1 enhanced with lots of mags .
I only had an opportunity to go to a range just once this year. I need a house that has a private range. ( <--- LOL )
I quietly burnt through 150 rounds or so of .45 today. And made my gun really dirty doing so.

I finally brought the Champion Workhorse with the wobble adapter out for clays after about a month off, so much fun. Last weekend finally managed to get out to 1000 yards with the 6.5 PRC hitting the 12x12 plate regularly despite the winds. Hit it with the 22 Grendel a few times too.
As usual, gathered brass and cleaned up trash....
My favorite pipe dream.....Quote:

Ran 375rds through my ar-9 trying out the new sba3. Very comfortable now.
I shot a couple hundred rounds through my old LaRue OBR Lite (5.56) yesterday at the Pueblo Tactical Rifle Match. 10-12 years old and several barrel changes later, it is still a hammer.
Now I have to figure out which AK to use next month for the AK vs AR match.
More like, I actually found a range. An older fellow named Jim, a farmer whose family has lived in this little town since 1890, was in the coffee shop this morning. He lives less than a mile from me and he and his sons and grandsons farm hundreds of acres nearby. He mentioned he and his grandson, who I also learned is an FFL dealer, had built a range in one of their fields. I asked him if it was in a particular location (because I'd noticed it last week where no range was before)...he said that was it. Jim also mentioned his grandson had got him a new AR but he hadn't been able to shoot it because he can't find ammo.
Later in the morning I rounded up 500 rounds of 5.56 ammo and went and dropped it off at his house. He asked me how much? I said, "Well...will that buy me a little time on your range?" Apparently it will. I now have permission to visit his range and use it any time I want to. Which is a good thing because there'snot a lot ofno public land in OK where you can just go out and shoot.
Side note: I met Jim's son, Scott, at the coffee shop the first morning after I arrived in town. He asked if I needed help and offered to round up all his brothers and adult sons to help me unload the U-Haul. Very, very nice family.
So, that's what I did at the range today.
Basic range but no dummies to contend with and I have plenty of steel and other targets to jazz things up a bit:

I haven't seen any large ant colonies here at all. Very few ants of any kind, as a matter of fact. Lots of grasshoppers. The only thing that's really bad here are ticks. Lots and lots of ticks. Ticks are the antifa of the bug world...like antifa are the ticks of the human world.
Ticks are OK's state bird. You could be standing in a well paved parking lot and find / feel 1 or 2 crawling on you.Quote:

This was a test to see how they performed and papered. My only issue is light strikes. I'll see how they do in the TOZ-78 bolt action, before any upgrades to triggers, if needed. I want a dedicated suppressed bolt action.
Anyway.
20 rds @ 25 yds. Again no scope adj, just seeing how they papered.. The sound of the trigger / firing pin is louder than these rounds were, with the can

Then road tested some 150 gr 30 cal reduced recoil loads in the LTR. 10 rds. 5 @ 50, 5@ 100 to see if there was any tumbling, before loading to shoot suppressed. Info on load data is in the reloading forum.
