The National Rifle Association of Australia has officially adopted the IBS 600yd BR discipline. Without doubt this is the most progressive and positive LRBR initiative by the NRAA since November 2004. The implementation of this event will provide existing members (and potentially attract new...

in Australia, during the 1970's, Speer marketed 2 types of .224 cal 52 grain match projectiles. The less expensive type were labelled Silver Match and the slightly more expensive version were marked and packaged as Gold Match. except for the coating, they appeared to be identical in shape...

phill just a suggestion, have you considered a trip to the majura and mcintosh ranges in canberra to discuss your needs. you will find the members most willing to share their knowledge in relation to specific calibres/loads etc for 500m fly, f class and 1000yd BR. cheers goodi

well done to all competitors,for the results achieved in Matches 1 & 2. very impressive shooting !!! the club and organisers, would also be delighted with the competitor numbers on the day. cheers dave goodridge

andy the point is, that for the 222 and 6ppc, you have made unsubstantiated statements, that 0.5 grain of powder charge variation (2206 or H4895) has little effect in aggs, velocity or pressure levels. IMHO,others who have experience loading these calibres would also question your claims. goodi

mikegaiz Thank you for the supportive and kind remarks. You are correct that the fundamental reason is that we all have fun, but of similar importance, is the fact that this great sport enables competitors to experience so many other facets involving personal LRBR development and improvement...
