Hi everyone - Been a while since I posted on the site. Hope everyone is enjoying some time with their families and celebrating the true meaning of the season... Thought I would throw up a few pictures of the rifles that will be used for F-class competitions this next year. Both were built this...

Minnesota has their long range state F-class championship this weekend at the only 1000 yard range in the state. Format is three matches on Saturday with 2 sighters and 20 shots for record, followed by one match as a two person team (if you want to shoot). Sunday is a palma format which is two...

Pretty good price on top quality brass with proper headstamp. This should be a lifetime supply unless you are shooting p-dogs... http://www.bullets.com/products/-35-Whe ... 50/BL10553

About a year ago I stumbled across this rifle on a business trip to Nebraska. This model 11-S (chambered in .270 Winchester) was a special run that Luxus did with lower grade wood, no engraving, and no case-hardening, which they are known for with the standard model 11. The idea was to see if...

Decided I better get some cartridges loaded up to start testing the 9.3X62 barrel that should be here by the end of the week. The other calibers can be played with after I have a good load worked up for this one. Loaded with 286 grain partition behind 55 grains of R15 and BR2 primers. Flanked...

Spent last weekend out in Montana with Jeff (USMC89) and a couple guys I shoot F-class with back in Minnesota. We had a great time sending "skippy" on to the next life and enjoying being outdoors in the hills. There was quite an array of rifles, bullets and calibers "tested"!! Jeff finding the...

Kind of a misnomer for the name of the match when you consider it was held in Grand Forks, ND (August is the only month that it gets above 80 degrees F). :) :wink: This was a small match yesterday at 600 yards (mid-range). One of our fellow Nosler forum members (Nodak7mm) was in charge of...

Hey Mike, Scott, etc...looking for QL data for the new 80 grain CC bullet in .224 in the 22BR. I am especially interested in info on IMR 8208XBR. Show me what QL says for the 75 grain A-max as well if you have time. I have a really nice load worked up with R15, but am a little disappointed with...

This works as well for hunters as competition shooters, but I wasn't sure where to put it. One of the guys at the club I shoot at came up with a way to check what you need to dial (mils or moa) for 300 and 600 yards when you only have a 100 yard range to shoot at. I used it this afternoon to...

Finally got out to do some final load work yesterday with the 6.5X47. I had several recipes that shot well, but finally decided on 139 grain Scenar behind 37.4 grains of N540 with a BR4 primer. The bullets are seated 8/1000ths off the lands. Velocity averaged 2805 for the 5 shot group. This...

Here are a couple quick videos of the Giraud annealer doing some 6.5X284 brass for USMC89. Jeff sent me 4-500 cases to anneal. There was some setup time to adjust the anneller to fit his cases, since I had been doing 6.5X47 cases prior to this. This works well and allows you to work on other...

Zeiss introduced the new HD5 models right after the first of the year. Everything is made and put together in Germany on these new models. Might be part of the reason some of the old models were being blown out by retailers before the end of the year. The 3-15 with lockable target turret looks...

Got a bunch of the 123 grain CC Noslers in 6.5 that I want to try in the 6.5X47L. Can someone give me QL data and any info they may have from personal use? Thanks Cheers

Might as well give my thoughts on the rings as well... :lol: . I have 30mm Badger and Farrell rings on 3 of my LR rifles. These rings are very well machined and fit a picatinney rail as well as any of the others. The rings needed very little lapping to have a stress-free mounted scope and cost...

Bought one of these a while back and broke it out to put on the new rings that came today from TPS. These are the TRS model rings (kinda tactical), but not as much as Badger. The kit comes with both 1 " and 30mm lapping bars, 1" and 30mm alignment bars, fat wrench, lapping compound, various srew...

I found this youtube video that explains the slippery slope we can be on if we aren't vocal with our politicians. Homer can chime in and give us a clearer picture on what it really is like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyS3CEIbpJo

I'm doing some research on powders for heavy bullets in a .223. Looking at the ADI website to see what they have to cross-reference with Hodgen and Alliant. I noticed that ADI has 3 different Benchmark powders (I think they make Benchmark for Hodgen), and am wondering if we only have Benchmark 1...

I have a Rock River Coyote carbine gas gun that I am tring to find load data for the 64 grain Nosler bonded bullet. The Nosler manual #6 doesn't have any data on this bullet. My Sierra manual has info on a 63 grain RN bullet, but the charges seem kinda warm for a gas gun. I have been using...

We were supposed to get a few inches of snow Sunday (12/9), so I figured it might be my last chance to get some load work done with the 6.5X47 before "real" winter got to Minnesota. Primers tested were CCI BR4 and CCI 450M along with the other components listed for each target. I didn't take the...

USMC89 just sent me the pictures of the latest build. He can fill you in on the specs. If it shoots anything like the others, the big game in Montana have a lot to worry about. This should make an interesting rifle for some of the tactical matches next year!! A set of twins
