Am thinking of a big bore day at the range! just a few good friends. a range. some ammo and see what happens! water jugs clay targets and what have you fun and maybe just a little BSing to make it complete. the date is 9/11 9:00 am till? the range is SE of Lansing. If some want we can meet for breakfast be for. Clint

Sign me up !
I will bring a few toys.
What are we considering big bore ?
Over .366 or over .400 ?
Depending on the answer will decide what I bring.
But for sure a .416 Rigby, 450 NE, 470 NE and 12 ga DR with 45/70 conversion tubes.
If over .366 I may also bring a 9.3x62 and .375 H&H.

Cheers
Nitro

great to hear that!

Clint
I owe you an apology, I scanned the date and it did not connect.
I will be out of town that weekend.
Another date maybe ?
Or I can make it to the next one.

just bring you 500 AHR or 505 gibbs or 500 a2.. or you do talk abunch about the 600 ok, bring that.. the 458 AR should be easy for you...

Shootaway showed at the last Big bore shoot down here.. you are at least that manly

heck, ya'll show pics of whatever scotty brings, k? I can't make it this month ... too much at work eatin me

Jeff,

Never claimed to have a 600 OK what would make you think I have one?

Clint you want me to bring the 500 A2? I'll see if I can talk a few others into coming too. August 28th isn't a good weekend for me either, so I am waiting to see what the new date is going to be. Something mid-September appears to be better for me.

Clint

Sept 11 and 18 is open right now.

However I am on call from now until ?
for a relative who has failing health.

Let me know.

Nitro

OK Nitro i move it to 9/11 hope this work for many! Clint

Clint,

I think I can do September 11. How many are coming? Where is the range? What time are we to arrive? How much is it costing? How much ammo should we plan on bringing? What is the course of fire? So many questions, sorry.

I may have two or three other guys coming also.

Clint,

As of now lets say 9/11 is a go.
What a way to celebrate our freedoms, provided by so many's sacrifices.

Nitro

Hopefully no emergencies on my side !

off for a week of fishing in Canada will post more details when i return! Am open to any ideas for a course of fire was thinking of multiple water jugs Clay birds maybe a charging target. cost will be donate what you want to cover cost and give the club a few bucks. bring lots of ammo(Can i try that?) 50 yds or 25yds? Having FUN Clint

Clint

You have seen my calider list, bring lots of what ever caliber you want to shoot.

Jokes aside I will provide as much ammo as I can get loaded by then, assuming I can make the time.
I also need to get some cheap bullets, don't want to waste premium ( Swifts, Woodleigh's, TBBC etc ) on dirt.

Cheers

I will bring ~ 36 rounds for the 500 A2 but that is the budget limit per above comments!

Scott

What elso are you bringing ?
I look forward to seeing the .500 A2.

Nitro

Hey guys if you can use another shooter,I can maybe make it with a couple of my big bore double rifles!

Bill,

I think the more the better.

Nitro,

Due to bullet availability the 500 A2 may be the only big bore coming, unless you want to count a 375 JDJ encore rifle that is set up for kids/women to shoot. A friend of mine may come along with a 50 Beowulf and another with a 458 Winnie.

All,
I will probably bring my over .400 cals.
Since these are medium bores they will have to suffice.
I was drooling over the latest installments of CZ550's at Cabelas .500 Jeff and .505 Gibbs they have several of each.
Just could not pull the trigger on another rifle, at $2700.
I will bring some of my cartridge collection so people can ooh and ah over some real bigbores ( .500, .505, .577, .600, .700 )

I really am going to have to try and make a concerted effort to get some ammo loaded.
I have to get more powder, these damn 80 ~ 105 grain loads eat powder like no tommorrow.

Oh enough griping, just get on with it.

Nitro

As much as i wanted to stay! I am back on the 14th i was saying i have only caught one walleye ever and it was only 8"long can,t say than know but back to BB shooting. come one come all! any ideas for targets? Clint

Clint

I can provide a few 1/2 scale color targets of Buffalo and a few other African critters.

Nitro

Clint,

If you want anyone other than Lansing residents at your event you will post location, time, and cost. Actual targets matter very little to us (outside Lansing). The 11th is looking very iffy for me now as I must be south of the border in that timeline. I was planning on bringing my 500 AHR and 500 A2, and a few friends are talking about bringing their 50 Beowulf AR15 and a 458 Win Mag.

As far was we are concerned targets can be typical store fodder!
