... Yep.. "consistent" .. I guess that's the word for it. Three different rifles and chamberings.. at least three different bullets & loads in each, including paper patch over a number of years.. Yep.. consistent is the word and 'that's all I have to say about that' ..![]()

There you have it, straight from the Roo's mouth, J.B.'s got nine different 900 yd loads.
I think your problem is "MENUTS" personally
Can't wait to see you guys, fun times

Did you not shoot the "CANYON OF DOOM" (900)

It's one heck of a hologram Kenny.. its better than three dimensional
actually I think my bullets end up in the fourth dimension ..which might explain a lot
Behind the spotting scope it looks 'sooooooo real' too

Or did something happen, did it rain on us or something, didn't we cut a course short because of starting and stopping for the rain?

Are you going to stick with the wrong one or are you going to break down & bring the right one.

Maybe ask Peter, didn't he have a good day at The Canyon Of Doom?

I'm sure he's be a good mate & help a guy out?

Maybe we should talk about those all important Menuts, they're quite critical

Re: Do you need a 900 yard Load?
Menuts ...are always critical... some moreso than others
I seem to remember either dropping a distance or shortening up somewhere during the World Championship shoot.. but other than missing at the 900... I dont recall if we actually 'missed' the 900. Yes , Peter has all his menuts sorted and even suggested to me at the 500 that if I moved my menuts in the correct direction this time... it may prove more effective. Heck...who knew
I thought I might just load five rounds with projectiles this time at the 900... as two or three out of five just sounds better and cuts down on casting.

Re: Do you need a 900 yard Load?
might go under the knife on the friday, 11th.
So I'll have to back it off a bit.
Bring all ten rounds to the line it'll improve your odds, not much, but still.

Re: Do you need a 900 yard Load?
Well if more surgery is on the agenda.. all the best for a successful procedure and a fast recovery .
.. will anyone notice if I bring 12 rounds ? .. 15 would seem a little presumptuous

As of 10:30 this morning I guess I am having surgery on Friday, Rapid City, just don't have a time or place yet

Be interesting as to which 900 yd load you bring this year?

... Time or place
... Minor details for sure
.. As for 'my 900 yard load'... I'll have at least twenty of them.. and they'll look an awful lot like the other eighty or so I bring. I've a lot more faith in my loading than I do my ability to navigate them to the preferred destination.
