Steve

Beauty, See you blokes there then.

Yeah Muz bringing the 30's....though after last weekends 'nice' 6" group at 200 I dunno why.............

KY

Kenny,

Get positive about the 30....you know it can shoot....have enough Karls to do some load development so will be loading and testing soon.

Did you get the email I sent you from Allo ?

Steve

Stevo,

Yep email all done..thanks for that.

Dunno if my nose can take too much more of the 30

KY

Well Ladies and Gents,

It's all Done and Dusted.

Congrats to Steven in taking out the Custom Hunterclass Yesterday! Bring back 30cal equalisation I say...
And congrats to Juppy who took out the Traditional today and 2 gun overall!! Local knowledge...

Thanks to all those who attended and all those who helped behind the scenes to make it a successful shoot.

Yeah Muz,

Congrats to Steven in taking out the Custom class Only dropped 1 point....on his first shot It was bloody close but, he hung on just by a frag I have never seen anyone so relieved

And Congrats to Mr Jupp for the Traditional ...AND.....Two Gun...couldn't have gone to a nicer bloke

jeez Muz you musta had shocker on Sunday did ya ? I thought you would have got up there......

It is a top range and I will definately be back again...hell the lawn is better than my house yard's Please talk them blokes into sorting some backers so they can have a few registered group shoots there can ya

Hi Kenny,

Yeah the wheels fell off early on Sunday.. .. my excuse is, I had a borrowed 6x scope and had a lot of trouble getting the crosshairs clear, I dropped way too many points at 200, but the time i had it sorted out it was too late. Dropped 3 points on the first target at 100 but then pulled it together to finish without dropping another point. The 6BR really started to perform towards the end - finished with a 50.4

Ended up 4th in the 2 gun.

Wanted: 6x compact leupold.

Cheers

Muz

Muz,

That is a bugger it's a lot harder than groups I reckon...once those points are dropped you can't get them back where as in group it seems easier to absorb a 'bad one' in the final agg

At least you got it sorted........unlike me 30 cal is now a swear word in my house

KY

Kenny,

The offer is still there for that shocker of a barrel....I have to admit the 30br was the thing that got me the win...I'm still kickin myself for shooting a 9 on the first shot though....never thought I had a chance after Eppo shot the 250 at 200yds....maybe you should check that scope with a ppc barrel and see if it was the problem.

Muz,

I dont think you will be disappointed with your 30 when you get it going...Allo told me before the shoot that the 30s just haven't got what it takes...shame I wasn't quick enough to point out he was wrong at the presentation.

Steve

Sorry guys but can someone explain hunter class for me?

Steven,

I hope that barrel doesn't have a bend in it.....I don't want it coming back like a boomerang Maybe we could make dies out of it or sumtin

Hmmmm...I think Allo was on the money with the 6mm comment

Stinkitup,

It's shot for score, 1 shot at 5 bulls on the same card for 5 cards at 100 and 200 yds. The 10 ring is about a 1/2" diameter at 100 and 1" at 200.
In the centre of the 10 ring there is a dot that counts as an X when you hit it, so 1x9 and 24x10's with 19 shots breaking the dot would total - 249-19x......
It's really easy...just ask Muz and Steven... bloody smartarses

The 30 cal is supposed to be an advantage ...and is... (if you can shoot one ) as the bigger hole has a better chance of breaking the dot or the higher scoring ring

KY

Sounds like fun and something the old mauser could be used at. Whats the restrictions on rifles actions weight and I guess class's? And is it shot regularly at Seaham?

is there an equipment list avail from this shoot??

I'd love to see what loads the 6Br and 30BR crowd were using

thanks
later
