Seat-Belt material on top that will be engaging your buttstock, should work fine and be fairly durable as well.
We moved to a seatbelt type material on all of our rear bags and front bags, as it is slick enough, and was so much more durable than other materials that we have used in the past.
One single-action revolver, one double action revolver, one semi-automatic and one rimfire.
BFR 357 Magnum SA revolver
S&W Wesson 41 Magnum
Shadow System MR920 9mm
Model 41 S&W 22 LR that has been customized
All is good.
I knew you were having fun.
The specialty pistols are not as magical or difficult as it seems they would be.
If your fundamentals are sound, and you have consistent wind, shooting at distance is not a big issue.
How many of you attend different competitions, whether it is for fun, in all seriousness, or somewhere in between?
What kind of comps do you shoot in?
Rimfire?
Centerfire?
Air Rifle?
Types of matches?
Be descriptive please, like benchrest (what kind of BR)?
NRL
PRS
ARA
F-Class (Rimfire, F-TR...
Guilty As Charged...They spend most of their time in Closet/Safe.
I use the 6.5 Creed as a teaching rifle and let people use it for hunting.
With Rapid City, SD opening a new range later in the the summer, they will have 600 yard F-Class matches.
Probably 600 yard BR as well.
I will grab a...
I should have made a note, that in the above list, five of them are custom rifles:
308 Winchester F-TR Rifle
284 Winchester F-Open Rifle
The last three are left hand actions
6.5 Creedmoor built by Darrel Holland
6.5x47 Lapua

See, I have RIFLES 😇
This probably says it better than my earlier post.
Work “backwards”.
Aim your gun on the target. Get the correct picture. Pull it back to your chest. Push it back out.
Is the dot where it’s supposed be? If yes, squeeze the trigger, as your “reward.”
Do it again. Dot NOT on target? NO...
Well..............IF, you want to shoot steel and pd's at distance we can upgrade to a custom XP??? 😇
WY-SHOT is coming up soon, and I have loaner specialty pistols.
Steel from 150ish to over 1300 yards with specialty pistols--What's not to love:)
If it is for personal defense, you must be committed to practicing your presentation.
Something to do on a very regular basis.
You need to train your brain (Practice your draws), until you are automatically on the red dot, and you are not looking for it any more.
There is a side benefit to this...
100/200 BR or 600/1000 BR?
The word, "Budget" and the word, "Benchrest" do not belong in the same sentence 😇
I would look for a used benchrest rifle on Accurate Shooter forum or go to some BR matches, and you will likely find some there.
It will be the closest thing to "Budget" you will find...
How many here have 16"-16.5" (Even 17" info appreciated) 6.5 PRC's, shooting 130-140 grain bullets?
With these bullet weights in mind, I am considering H-4350, H-4831sc and RL 26.
Actual velocities with the brass/powder/bullet combinations you have would be appreciated.
I have all three of the...
Thank you.
For reference below, here is some actual MV's on various 6.5-284's.
I used to have a 15" (Krieger 8T) 6.5-284, that ran 130 Berger's at 2700 fps.
17" 6.5-284 usually runs 140's from around 2665 to 2750 fps.
The two fastest 17" 6.5-284's ran 140's at 2750 and 2785 feet per second. All...
