Well gents, September 6th i'm doin it again. Another big bore shoot. Same range as last time, The High Ore range 1 1/2 miles south of Boulder Mt. 22 rounds shot in 5 stages. All stages will be timed this time. Also as a side match we'll be doin a two man team event. Targets will be buffalo. Each shooter will shoot two rounds at each buff. There must be a kill shot on each buff for the team to advance. So bring plenty of ammo. And practice, practice boys
Classes will be the same as last time. Entry fee is $15 Registration starts at 8:30 and shootin at 10:00 sharp. Sorry but it doesn't look like i'll have a food vendor so bring lunch and drinks.
Hope to see some of you there again!

Also, i'll have 4 moving targets this time
And an Elephant head

Ol Bull, can't wait. That team shoot sounds like a blast. Side bets anyone?
I'll just be bringing the 600 OK this time. Like you said, practice, practice.

All I have is my little handy rifle in 45/70. Sorry love big bores and want many more.

I may just come down and enjoy the sights and watch yall shoot big stuff if thats OK. Maybe get to know some of you first hand.
MM

MM, come on down to the shoot. I will have lots of ammo and you can snuggle up to the 600 OK.

MM, come on down and you can shoot some BIG booolits...

Sounds Like Fun. Will try to make the shoot.
But now I'm realy gonna want a big boomer aren't I?
MM

YEP.....

Now you guys aint gonna get all wigged out by a biker showing up are? I just hate when people shoot at me.LOL
MM

MM.... ...only suits scare me

Ooohh. Darn. Wish I could make it, but that is the opening week of elk season here, AND my scheduled vacation with the wife.

Hopefully you will continue these things on a recurring basis....I'd love to make it to one!

Cheers,
Canuck

Canuck, it's the opening weekend of archery season here as well. Good luck on your elk hunt. Mine will start the following weekend.
And i plan on doing two of these next summer too. One the first weekend in June and the other the last weeknd in August. At least thats the plan right now.

Hi Ol Bull, I just want to come, watch, maybe shoot a few big bores (458 Lott ?) so I know what I'm getting into before I rebarrel my rifle to 470 Capstick. I'll bring my 375 H&H along, any advice on where to stay?

Chuck

chuck375, there's the Red Lion, Wingate Inn, Days Inn, and Motel 6 all right off the interstate. All are very nice.
I shoot a 450G&A...500's @ 2300fps..you are more than welcome to shoot it.

Thanks! Hope to see you there

Chuck

chuck375...i look forward to shootin with ya.

Looking forword to meeting yall. Think I have John talked into coming with me. He's the guy that got me interested in Big bores. He has 416 Rigby, and 416/350 Rem. and all sorts of other big stuff. Hope he comes along. You guys will like him.
MM

MM, see you guys the 6th

Hey Olbull
Is that the range where they do the Cowboy action shooting. That you can see from I 15 Down between Boulder and Basin?
MM

MM, thats the one. We do CAS, 3-Gun, Defensive Handgun and now Big Bore Rifle. See you there

ZZZ, Dan416, hope to see you both the 6th.

CAS

Close Air Support...

Macifej, CAS = Cowboy Action Shootin

Dang! I thought y'all were bringing out the REALLY big guns...

Macifej..... .....And thanks again for all yer help with the first match

I will not be able to make it as I will be with Phil SHoemaker that week with the 475 Turnbull and a date with a moose. But I do have a rifle and ammo that I could send out to a dealer there and one of you all could get it to shoot and play with. Just let me know who and where to send it to.

Doug, PM sent.

Doug, i don't know what to say except THANK YOU!! Bitterroot called me and we decided to have it sent to him. We'll take very good care of it! Good luck on your moose hunt too. Thanks Again, Wally

Hey Ol Bull, I was not at your last match and need to ask how you organize classes. Bore dia., bullet weight, energy, or how purty the shooter is.

Also, is your 450 on a full lenth Jeffry case or is it shortened? I remember the rifle was a military mauser action and have seen some H&H length chamberings on 98's but Jerry Kuhnhausen's (sp) shop manual advises against it. Yours seems to work really well. Dan

Dan, all classes are broke down by caliber and then action, bolt, double or single shot. We're all ugly so won't work!
My 450 G&A is on a short 404J case, 2.5" and as you seen it feeds like a champ. Kuhnhausen is right about a 460 G&A, full length 404J case,on a standard action, it won't work. It needs a magnum action. See ya soon.

Classes are:
.338 - .358
.366 - .375
.395 - .423
.458 - .510
.550 - .600

.338 is a big bore? Cool That I have! Might even bring the 45/70 even if it is just a handy rifle.
Well better get home to the reloading bench.
MM

MM, no the .338 is NOT a big bore! But since it is a popular caliber for african plains game i include it. And to draw more shooters. And bring that 45/70 too buddy..i have a class for that to!

14 days to go guys.....

Seven days to go guys... ...and Doug Turnbull was kind enough to send us a 475 Turnbull and 100 rounds to play with!!!!! THANK YOU DOUG See ya soooon

You guys should have one next summer and I'll try make it!

Tyler, i plan on one the first saturday in June and another the first saturday in September. Maybe one in between See ya soon

I sent out a 475 Turnbull and 100 rnds of ammo to AHR for you all to shoot the heck out of in Montana next weekend.

Have fun with it.

Note: They they are loaded with Speer 400 grain bullets and the OAL length is a bit short. I like them to be 2.700" or longer. In a 71 they can cause cartridge flip, this guns seems to work them well but be advised.

Doug

I can't thank you enough doug!

Oh my goodness. The Turnbull must be a sweet thing. I,m Jones'n over having my '86 rebarelled to the 475. But even doing overtime isn't getting me there. I may have to drop other projects. Enjoy the big bores fellas. God Bless. Packy

Bring rain gear and warm clothes...looks like we might get wet and temps in the high 50's....don't forget the gun oil
Sorry guys but you know Montana weather
