Re: Phoenix 1000 yd match
I have the scores but as a picture on my phone. I can post them when I get back home if it has't been done by someone else before then.
It was an excellent match and was run very well. This was my second time attending this match and it really was a great time. The opportunity to shoot so many rounds at 1000 yards really makes this match special.

Re: Phoenix 1000 yd match
Nossir. I shot my Borchardt in .45-90 with grease grooved bullets. I would have brought the paper patched rifle but I really wanted to shoot with a scope and the Borchardt was pretty much ready to go. It also worked pretty well for me in Colorado last summer.
I might shoot my .45-70 PP rifle in the Worland midrange match this year, and I will shoot paper patched bullets in the Money Match again.
This year I did not run into any fouling problems and shot better targets at 1000 than I've ever done before by a pretty big margin. I used far wetter patches than last year too. I did try my BACO bore wipes on the last target of the last day as I did want to see how well they worked for me. It turned out to be a disaster as I had a huge amount of vertical. I'm not sure why, as they worked quite well for other shooters. I was still super happy as I'd surpassed a few goals I'd set for myself.

Re: Phoenix 1000 yd match
That's good even if it gives zack more fodder. I can only read about half the names on the scoresheet that was posted so I couldn't tell what your score was.

Re: Phoenix 1000 yd match
I shot a 659-5x which was a lot better than I expected. I would have done a bit better on the first day, but I had some problems with my cross hairs moving from the x-ring to the 8 ring with each heartbeat. I'd never had to deal with that before, but I got it sorted out for day 2.
On my last day I was doing pretty well and actually shot an 89 on target #2 which I was super happy with. Then I decided to try BACO bore wipers on the last target. This was probably foolish, but I really wanted to see how they worked for me. For some reason I got tons of vertical, and shot a 61!
I did learn a lot this time, and know where I need to go from here. It was definitely a learning experience.

Re: Phoenix 1000 yd match
Chris, you might consider arriving at Phoenix one day earlier next year for defrosting purposes. That environmental shock to the body means more than some are fully aware of when travelling from British Columbia to Central Arizona from YOUR winter into OUR winter.
I actually provided a defrosting cubicle for The Legends immediately upon their arrival from Lodi Wisconsin at Ben Avery and it helped quite a bit. Unfortunately they were refrozen upon landing back in Milwaukee.
PM me on your bore wiping with the BACO devices, I am interested to know details which would be relatively meaningless to someone who was not there and shooting on that day.
