Big Rifle Mecca.....

Rich, I will put you to work loading 700 AHR and 600 OK ammo for the match. We will also have to load some 416 and 375. I hate that stuff; it's so hard getting those tiny bullets seated correctly.

Bitterroot,

yah! Those little peashooter cartridges are a pain, but you have to pander to your feminine side and inner child somedays!! Do you just use an ice cream scoop to load?

How far is your place from Helena?

ISS,

Pay extra attention to those 600 OK loads - I shipped 30 primed cases to Bitterroot for post-match fun. I should be getting to the range about 3PM if all goes well.
Thanks.

Rich, I'm about 45 miles south of Missoula right off HWY. 93 in Corvallis.
I'll call you to get your schedule and give you directions.

Well will have to load up some of my "special" loads for Paul.

Bitterroot, 1 mile south of Boulder on I15 take exit 160.....follow the buffalo heads to the range or call me....

Bitterroot,

yah! I think Paul is a prime candidate to test some of those duplex loads we were talking about...you know, the ones with 50gr of Bullseye as a kicker and then filled to the casemouth with 4895.

Just light fire forming loads!-Rob

I can't come, of course, but I hope to see some pics of the event.

What are we fire-forming, the cases or Paul?

Paul gets my vote.

If it's going to be me, then I'd like to be thinned, stretched out and get the AI treatment - i.e. broader, sharper shoulders.

welllllllllllll,

if we secure your feet to something I can guarantee the stretched out part.

T-minus 120 and counting.

More meat on the Skeeters this time of year.

Really cool idea
Wish I could do it, but I can't.


Not to mention that the only big bore I have up and running is an Browning 1886 lever gun in 45-70 that I shoot powder puff loads through.

Ol Bull, add three more shooters that will be coming in my party. See you Sat. morn.

See you saturday mornin

Guys, bring rain gear and gun oil It's been rainin for days now and it ain't supossed to stop till next week. SORRY!!!! We do have shelter to get out of it but more than likely we'll shootin in it.

Now it's getting interesting!!

Can't wait to see the photos from this gig!!

The pouring rain makes me wanna be there even more!! Like when those guys were hunting Dino's in the rainy jungle in Geriatric Park!!

Maybe you guys should have some T-Rex or Giant Lizard targets...

Oh, by the way...i've got two boxes..50 each of SH Super Precision bullets compliments of Macifej to give away to some VERY LUCKY shooter One box of .505" 558gr and one box of .550" 615gr. These bullets are a work of art...damn near to pretty to shoot

Rain (and ISS/Bitterroots conspiracy to explode me) is the least of my problems.

My partner's dad just had emergency bypass surgery and not doing all that well. She was to cover me this weekend. I'll have to play it by ear ...

CCMDoc, i hope he's alright

Well, Idaho Sharpshooter rolled in here yesterday afternoon. We are gearing up for the big shoot. We sure hope you can make it Doc.
See you all Sat. rain or shine.

Still touch and go - should have a better idea this evening. Haven't cancelled my plane tickets, hotel room or car yet - not that any of it is refundable.

Hope to be there.

We now have a MOVING Buffalo

Got Rich to wear that Buffalo suit eh??

Ol Bull-- Tell Rich and Doc the 585BHE reamers are here.
Also weather channel says snow out there in places,
did you get any. Hope you have warm shooting day.Ed

Rich and I flipped for who would get the front half of the suit; he won. No Texas heart shots please.

We had SUNSHINE ALL DAY......and it's supposed be the same tomorrow

My vendor will have biscuts n gravy and ham n cheese biscuts for breakfast....see ya in the am

Be safe, have fun, take pictures and video.

Hmmmm ... outdoors in sunny, beautiful Helena, MT vs. blood n guts and machines in a hospital in NJ - tough choice - I think I made the wrong one.
Wish I were with you guys - have a beer for me !

Just returned from the Montana Big Bore shoot. OL Bull put on one helluva show. I still have a big ol' stupid grin on my face from all the fun. Rich says HI as he is on his way across Montana to the Quigley match and to return home next week. Ol Bull will have plenty of photos to post. Again, thanks to Wally and all of the local shooters from the Helena area.

Macifej, my wife says " what are ya going to do with these bullets, ya don't have a .550"...OH NO!!!" Thanks Again Buddy!
There is a .550" in my future thanks to you!
