Thanks Joe. I've never tried H4350, or BR-2's in this gun. My RL-22 worked well in my old barrel, so I started with that same load. I'm actually shooting rounds that were loaded for 2006 nationals at Hawks Ridge for sighters. Headspace is very close to old chamber. RWS 270 brass. After I shoot...

Thanks Charles. I've still got loaded Bergers I need to shoot first, but I have plenty of 142 Sierras to play with. I never shot the 142s much, but I am shooting them in the 6.5-284 Shehane heavy gun I bought last summer. With that deal I got 1500 of the Sierras. I'm getting ready...

New barrel throated a little long for Bergers and Sierras probably as well. I cannot get anywhere near the lands with the Bergers. I measured some 142 Sierras today and they( at the ogive) are on average .042 longer than the Bergers. I have since had my reamer reground to make sure this long...

Charles, I did not conduct a controlled experiment. I've been fighting strep throat, flu etc most of this month. I did shoot the 338 first match. I had Norma brass already prepped, and RL-25 already weighed out. So all I did was shoot the Scenars 5 off of jam. So there was no testing. The 338...

Charles, Sorry for the delayed response. I've had some family issues that have delayed my experiment with the Scenars. I did pick up some 300 Hybrids, and some 285 Hornady's Sunday in Columbia while driving home. Now that things have settled down I'm going to try and get some range work done...

Thanks Charles and Dave. I'll give the CCI's a shot. I'm going to try Retumbo as well. Trying to get ready for Georgia the end of Jan. From the looks of it I can get a 6 match agg in Georgia before we start shooting. Cool Springs is actually closer for me than Butner. I will make at least 6...

I have 338-404 Jefferies heavy gun. Barrel is 9.3 twist Broughton. I have been shooting RL-25 and 300 Sierras, but had to change lots of powder a year or so ago. It took 2.5 grns. more to reach same velocity. This gun has not shot less than 8.5-9 inches since I changed lots. It does shoot 80 to...

got what I needed from Bill Shehane. Thanks, Bill

skeetlee, Take a look at Falcon Gun Finishing. Owner Jeff Sternad. I have 2 Nesika actions that he has done for me over the years. They are both like you want, a deep gloss black finish. I have hunted with these rifles for years, and the finish holds up well. The last work he did for me was a...

105 vld hunting Sinclair, Powder Valley, and Grafs all have 100 count boxes in stock. I did not see 500 count boxes. I'd buy now if I needed bullets, because they usually get scarce latter in the season. Powder Valley has the best price of the 3 I listed. They have them for $29.00/ box. I...

Go Foghorn. You know. I believe that we do get a score with less than allowed shots on paper. It's a zeroooooooooooo. Been there more than most I guess over the last 13 years. Tough feces. I have a 338 heavy gun and I wouldn't want to be sitting beside me at the line if it had a break...

Hey guys,Got it worked out for the weekend. A couple of questions. Are there concessions at the range? Are there covered tables to move your stuff back and forth and to clean, or do I need to bring my wagon to tranport. Where do the people that travel stay? Rutherfordton, Columbus...

Thanks, Sam, and Rich, I've got some more brass to fireform( only 50 pieces so far) for my dasher, but I think I'm going to get it all worked out to come. Thanks, Waverly

Thinking about coming. I shoot 1k br. I know format for 600 is different. If a person was to come to a 600 match, and needed to shoot the same gun, light and heavy how many match rounds, and sighters would be recomended? Will this fun match be a four target agg.? Thanks, Waverly

My hat is off to Bill Ice, and the rest of the Harry Jones Club. I went to their state match this last weekend(12 hours one way), and had a great time. The match was well run, competitive,and most of all fun. There was a generous mixture of rednecks, hillbillies, and plenty of good people from a...
