Re: Possible IBS 1000 YD rule change.

No brakes,
If a light gun wants to compete in heavy, fine why not just slip a stainless shoe over the front of the stock to add a bit of weight and a weight on the back as well. But if a light gun is shooting well and wants to run with the big boys go for it.

Re: Pending world record.

I have done some fantastic groups in Practice but to pull off 5 in comp is awesome and in wind is where they come into their own as you cant machinegun them like the 6PPC`s but pick your shots.If we could get some quality projectiles in the 110 to 120gr range would be even better Might have to start...

Re: To bed or not to bed under the barrel?

In a good solid custom action you shouldnt need to bed the first section of barrel as the action will be able to support it with out any strain. I havent bedded any of mine under the barrel But if you were using a remington action or something with large port etc yes as it helps support the weight o...

Re: The rising costs in competition

Well fellas mine cost about 65cents per shot. Unlike Top-em-up Tony i just put in the powder that is required And could more than load two cases with the amount of powder that a.JR uses. My barrel has lasted over 3 thousand rnds and still going sure it may not do as good at 1000yards but it does get...
