2010 RimFire / Long Range Shoot 3-14-10

[IndyGunworks]

I got dibs on black... i am used to shooting bullseyes

 

[IndyGunworks]

how about ringing some steel at around 100-150 from a alternative position... kneeling? i have a steel 6 inch target that would be perfect for this.

Now THAT would be intresting. Hoisting a heavy *** rifle and shooting from something other than prone.

Great idea.

Myself and vette will be talking tonight about all the fine details to the event. I have all the range yardage figured out and will be posting them either tonight or sometime tomorrow. As for the steel, I have a few ideas up my sleeve. On a side note, if you do not wish to shoot in the 'prone' possition you don't have to. You may shoot however you feel most comfortable.

Also, your color choices have been written down.

No crying allowed.

No crying allowed.

What about tears of joy? I think it would be hard for a noob with a dirt cheap rifle and scope who cleans house to hold them back... not that we have any of those in the comp....

Is anybody shooting the Lapua Scenar 155 in .308 at distance. I really want to give those a try.

The Lapuas are very good bullets. Some of the Palma shooters prefer them over Sierras offering.

 

[AllenM]

Yea I have been reading up on them. The 155 Lapua has basically the same BC as the 175 sierra's and I can't find the 175's as easily

Years ago, I was shooting the 175 Sierras at a prone match in Canada with my Palma rifle and was shooting the exact same wind at 900 meters that guys shooting 155 Sierras were, 11 minutes.
In other words, my experience was that you had to really push the 175s to outperform the 155s wind wise.

I've got some 175s that you're welcome to, but they are mollied. I use to use the devil dust.

 

[AllenM]

I think I will get a couple boxes of the 155's coming. Thanks for the offer on the 175's but I typically don't use a mooly bullet
