Enjoying the sport of BPCR shooting

Post by TexasMac »

Ever since I became interesting in BPCR in late 1997 I’ve kept a detailed spreadsheet of my loads and shooting results. After occasional trips to a local range and experimenting with various loads for 15yrs or so I started attending matches in mid-2012 a couple of years after retiring. The spreadsheet totals indicate that so far, I’ve:

Cast 12,152 bullets
Sent 496lbs of lead/tin alloy down range along with and 12,152 wads
Burned up 112lbs of BP
Fired 12,152 primers.

In addition, the sport has given me the opportunity to make many new friends and publish a book and numerous articles. I’ve won a few matches now and then and lost many, many more. Although age is taking its toll, hopefully I’m able to continue the sport for a few more years.

Wayne,

I certainly count up, don't it?

I haven't compiled a total, but I've loaded over 9,100 rounds for my Shiloh .40-65 in the last 26 years and will have fired them all after the SE Regional next week. I've had several good rifles, but that one continues to be my favorite go-to rifle.
