I have an excellent bore, Model 91/30 I plan on shooting in CMP Vintage Military Rifle Matches. The match calls for a rapid fire stage where you shoot five, load five more in 80 secs ( I know, a long time for High Power shooters). Try as I might, I couldn't get the stripper clips to load then...

Gonna switch to RCBS 124 Cone shaped bullets from my SWCs. Shot a ICORE match yesterday, did alright with the shooting part but loss too much time on reloading. I have the above RCBS mold for 9 MM so I thought I'd try it in my Model 64. Shot pretty dern good. Not much change in impact going...

I'm presently on a road trip to my daughter in Portland. It was suggested by my son (who also lives here) that I bring an AR and work with my Grandson who is presently in College on a ROTC scholarship. The ideal was to get the grandson up and running so he would have a head start on his his...

Below is the propose rule change for conducting Regional and Sectional NRA matches. The rule basically will eliminate any Regional with less then 12 competitors (8 for the Sectionals). What this means is, if you applied for a Regional one year, and you had less then 12 competitors, you would...

Heading to Rapid City for another reason, stopped and picked up the mail finding a flyer for Cabelas. They are having a sale on Mosin 91/30 , $100 bucks ($99.99). Got to Cabelas and found out the sale dosnt start until the 10th, but being the whinner I am I whinned until they let me have it at...

We need to go back to school and learn how its suppose to be done. When I first hired on, there were still some insturctors that pushed a modernized version of the crouch, where the non shooting hand was suppose to cover your heart area (FBI Style). Everyone knows hands stop bullets better...

This was after the blacky ate his prize chicken. I guess bear encounters are in the rise in Anchorage. Another story in the same article: http://www.adn.com/2010/06/05/1309705/anchorage-bears-losing-in-frequent.html

Dumb question regarding my dumb ideal. I'm slotted to attend the GSM Master Instructor Course at Camp Perry. I was thinking about hitting the North Store for a M1 Carbine and/or Springfield, and if one or the other or both, catch my eye, picking one up. Problem is, I'm taking my Sporty. Will...

Trying to compute the sight settings for my 45-70, 535 Grn cast bullet load at 1300 fps, for an upcoming creedmore match followed by a match at one mile. It computes to just shy of 3 inches on the rear sight. My Cheek weld is gonna suck big time.

This was about 1982. Chief of the National Guard Beau. Matches. State NG units competed with each other, the winning team was sent to Nashville to compete with other states (Before the NGMTU moved to Camp Robinson). This was my Unit, from A Co. 2/297th Inf, Alaska Army National Guard. The...

Anyone use this in a 45-70. I tried it after not being able to find any normal BP. I normal can get BP compressed when using a 405 HB cast bullet and its right at 1300 fps. I tried this, couldnt come clost to getting that much powder in, so I put 50 grns on top of 231, with a felt grease wad...

New Record: L115A3 338 Lup. A BRITISH Army sniper has set a new sharpshooting distance record by killing two Taliban machinegunners in Afghanistan from more than 1 miles away. Craig Harrison, a member of the Household Cavalry, killed the insurgents with consecutive shots — even though they...

How about firing up your BPCRs for a match shooting 800, 900, 1000, and one mile targets. If interested I'll give you a link. It will be May 23, just north of Lusk WY.

I was reading (re-reading actually) Nancy Thompkin’s book, “PRONE AND LONG RANGE RIFLE SHOOTING” On page 235 she has a quote Now she shoots 155 SMK bullets at a hair less then 3000 fps, out of, lets say, a 30 inch barrel. So if the starting velocity (in the barrel is ZERO, and the ending...

I just declaired war on dogs. Roving suckers hamstrung one of my horses. I've been tolerant of neighbors dogs but not more. I know we got a few mountain lions passing through, but cat go for the neck, dogs hamstring critters. I'm not fond of having to tell my grandaughter some dog...

I love K frame 38s, the old LE Service Revolvers. Problem is, in this part of the country they are few and far between. Found this puppy in Rapid City, for $345. I thought it was way too much but what to he!!. Best I could find so I bought it. Had to have it shipped to a hardware store in...

Reading the post about Call to Duty getting people started in shooting (never played those type games myself) got me to thinking about how I got started. I really don't remember, wheather is was going squarrel hunting with my uncle using a single shot 22 rifle. Dogs would tree the squirrel...
