Well, I am putting a serious effort into it. And yeh, I know I am no Hall of Fame Shooter. But then, neither are 99 percent of all BR Shooters who win on a regular basis at The Region Level.
I was at the range today with the new 1-18 twist Krieger I put on my LV-Sporter.
After I broke it in, the first group, right out of the gate, was a nice "mid one". I then backed that up with a flat "zero". This was with the exact same load I shot at New Braunfels.
Like many shooters, I thought this "thirty thing" was all smoke and mirrows. But then, I started fooling around with them. I would not be putting such an effort into this whole project if I did not think the things were deadly accurate.
And, of course, I know the difference between accuracy and agging capability. I have won enough Two Gun Championships to know what it takes to keep a Rifle going for the entire week end. Does the 30 have it. I am going to find out.
I get tired of that old "but (fill in the blank), doesn't shoot one". I don't care. I am having a good time, and I am very interested in finding out just how competitive a 30 can be at the highest level.
True, a fine tuned 6PPC is a sight to behold. But, the key is 'fine tuned'.
If the 6PPC is the end all, then why, at any major BR event, are the aggs into the "threes" not too far down the page. Granted, there are always good shooting PPC's, but for every good one at a match, there is a whole truck load of those stuck in mediocrity.
Oh, and for what it's worth, my 10.5 lb Rifle shoots just as well as the 13.5 lb. It just takes a little getting used to..........jackie
He did rip off two screamers early in the afternoon. Both were big zeros or very small ones. Jackie is planning on competing with his new 30br at the next registared match at Midland. Stay tuned!!!
