Results are posted on Ian's Black Powder facebook page.
Interesting that Ian did not shoot the best scores at the shorter distances, but was the only shooter to post 100+ (twice) at 1200yd and take the MW by a clear margin.

OK
I guess those of us who aren't Facebook devotees will have to go without knowing anything about black powder competition.

Re: 40 Cal. Long range
When I get home from work this evening I can try and upload the score sheet. My 1100 yard score suffered from the fire that was on the range next to us. There was a fire that was started from tracer rounds that the military was firing. It caused a bunch of smoke to blow over onto our range. Several of us had to try and shoot through It. I was lucky to only have 1 miss through that ordeal. A few times I just shot at what I thought was my target

Congratulations, Ian!
Missed you at Friendship this weekend, but I figured I knew where you and several others were at.
Shooting at Camp Atterbury does offer some out of the ordinary complications.

Re: 40 Cal. Long range
Shot the 40-82 last fall at 1k. It did ok but, you could see where the wind would make it tough. With a rolling block, I was up the staff a long way, with the DDPP bullet and 87gr of 1.5f swiss, 14 twist. It can be done and it will get there but Id watch wind carfully...

I think that not only the 38s and 40s, but also the 44s and 45s, ALL must watch the wind Carefully

Re: 40 Cal. Long range
Ian,
That bullet is 1.425in long. This is the design that Arnie made for us. It is a 14 twist GM barrel.
