The Tomball Gun Club hosted the Texas State Varmint for Score today.
Saturday Night a front blew through, bringing rain, cool weather, and wind. lots of wind. And more wind.

By the first 100 yard match, the wind was already blowing in out of the north at 10-15 mph. Richard Pullum handled the conditions better that's the rest of us, and shot a nice 250 20x to take the win.

At 200, the wind got even worse, switching from left to right, Jackie Schmidt managed to drop the least amount of points and won the 200, and garnered enough points to win the Grand Agg as well.

The high X counts were Richard Pullum at 100 with 20X's, Tim Peck at 200 with 9X's, and Gardner Rose in the Grand Agg with 26X's.

We had a good turnout. Richard and Dwayne Pullum did an excellent job running things, and the target crew was top notch.

Thanks to the Tomball Gun Club for hosting this event. The second half of the Texas State, the 200/300 combined, will be held at Walker County Benchrest August 18th. The 100/200 and 200/300 Grand Aggs will be combined to produce an overall Texas State VFS Champion.

Congratulations to Jackie and Richard. You guys are hard to beat indeed. You both shot well the entire match. I had a great time at the match and am looking forward to the second leg.
Also a big thanks to the Pullums for putting on this match. It is a hard job to put on a match like this and you guys do a really good job.

I shot my 30BR at 200. I have the 1-12 twist 80 grn PPC shooting pretty good, but the Neuvo Action's extractor fails to snap over the rim of the case about every tenth shot. The lip of the extractor is a few thousandths too close to the bolt face. You can stick a case in the bolt nose and there is zero clearance between the inner edge of the case rim and the lip of the extractor. These are 220 Lapua cases.

You can't afford to have that kind of problem in a Match. I'm going to remove the extractor and stone the lip to give it just a tad more. Either that, or send the bolt back to Bat, which I do not want to do.

Jackie
you can also just sort your cases by rim thickness --- or trim the fat rims down by opening up the extractor groove-- sometimes Lapua dose make fat rims ---not all batches of Lapua brass have fat rims---I've had that problem before with a Farley action

It has a Sako style extractor doesn't it? If the lip of the extractor needs to go away from the bolt face a few thousandths, take a little bit off the front edge of the pivot peg that goes into the bolt body. That will let the extractor move down the bolt body away from the bolt face the amount you remove from the round peg on the extractor. Mess it up, you can get replacement extractors from Bat for $36 plus shipping.

Good idea, Mike. Those Sako's are Case Hardened, I think. I might just stick it in a mill and use a small carbide endmill to take a couple off the front side, then check it.

I have multitudes of old PPC cases laying around. I will take Gene's advice and compare the rim thickness on them, including the cases I am shooting now.

A real tight extractor is great for primary extraction. I suppose Bat keeps it at a minimum for this reason.
