200 yd postal match Nov-Dec 2019

[Coltsmoke]

That's an ugly bullet Woody.

Hey Smoke. That mould has cast probably 40,000 plus bullets. Still shoots better than me. It's what I shot in Georgia last month when you beat me by six points, but I beat 45 ish other shooters. Hah!!!!

Well I guess that's what counts.

Woody,
Maybe its just me, but i usually wait til after im done shooting to put the ruler on the target!!

[Woody]

Brian,

That's why I used a rule instead of a caliper. I'm only done for this month.

Other than my hold is improving, wasn't real happy with any of my loads I shot for this match, so Decided I'm going back to the drawing board and work up new loads. Never did have one for the 45 2 7/8 and the 108 gr was just a swag.
Had a few brass i wanted to get on the same loading sequence as the rest so I took three loads out to ladder test.
by the time I got there it was pretty windy but wanted to shoot them up anyway.


Only the 105 gr looks promising so far.
Not sure why, but this rifle shoots a lot of pairs.
doubt I could keep this vertical up for 10 shots, but 5 did real well.
0.8" vertical, 3 3/8 horizontal

Four of those look real good.

I'll be at the range most of the day tomorrow. We always have a New Years Day match of somekind. I'll be shooting a black gun in the match, but should have several hours prior to do a test if the wind finally dies. Been very windy for the last two days. What are the rules and games, (.22 etc.), for next month?

Distant Thunder shooting a PP bullet edged out Aviator shooting a GG bullet by a mere .353 " in the scope class and ian44662 also shooting a PP bullet edged out DAG45-70 shooting a GG bullet by .250 in the iron sight class. All were shooting Swiss powder.
Good shooting guys !1
