Just wanted to take the opportunity to ![]() ![]() Just got back from the Sporting Rifle Match at Whittington. It was 23 degrees for the high and the wind blew the snow horizontally varying from 5 to 25 mph measured on my Kestrel thingy. It could be 5 mph during your first target and by the last 25 mph! I used the horribly inconsistent RL-25 powder in my .300 WM with the 208 A-Max. (for HC) I also DIALED ELEVATION for every target and held off for the fickle wind. (for woods) I shot good, finished 2nd because another guy was Super-Human yesterday ![]() ![]() | ||

C'mon now! You two are sharper than this! I teed this one up so high, lobbed a big fat softball in there... You can't miss if you try! | |||

I too send my congratulations. Ever since I heard about these sporting rifle courses at Whittington I have thought this to be a great match. I'm just too old and fat! While I have never used horribly inconsistent RL-25 powder. I use as equally horribly inconsistent RL-15 powder in most everything I shoot. I would say that you shooting prowess is excellent! Only exceeded by your ability to humorously jab those who do not share your choices! I salute you, sir! ![]() Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.

Okay, I'll bite You could have won if you had used a ballistic reticle because you must have made a mistake putting in your calculations on your I-phone thingy or your scope did not move the exact distance you thought it was moving when you clicked it in! ![]() You were just damn lucky to place at all! The only thing that saved your ass was the RL powder! ![]() ![]() ____________________________________ There are those who would misteach us that to stick in a rut is consistency - and a virtue, and that to climb out of the rut is inconsistency - and a vice. - Mark Twain | Chinese Proverb: When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others. ___________________________________ | |||

Close, but fouled down the left field line! HC? Thanks Ramrod and Rusty! You should try to make one of the shoots! You'd have a ball! | |||

Welllll..., that 1st Place Finisher was probably using Hodgdon Powder which gave him much better consistancy. ![]() And probably just read the Grass Tips, picked the correct Mil-Dot, "leaned into" the wind a bit and delicately carressed that excellent Walker Design Factory Trigger. ![]() ----- Were there only two of you shooting? ![]() ![]() ![]() | |||

Ding ding ding ding ding ding! We have a winner! woods was close but HC just about nailed it! All that AR war experience! I really wanted to see: "Yeah, the guy who won was using Hodgdon powder and held "over and off" with his Zeiss Rapid Z". ![]() | |||

Someone mentioned either Leepers or BSA makes the Scopes and Super Whamo-Dyne THINGY Reticles for them, so they gotta be good uns(maybe). | |||

BSA? ![]() woods needs to show up and show me how well the reticle or the Ray Charles Braille version target knobs work. ![]() | |||
