Hi, thanks for the replies. I'm in Meadow Lake so not near Ted. Is there a recomended bullet to try? About free recoil, I have seen some you tube videos of shooters as there is no one else here, do you guys keep your palm entirely off the gun and do you apply any pressure with your shoulder against the butt plate? My understanding is that the biggest thing seperating winners is reading mirrage and wind. First order for me is too make sure I maximize the rifle I have on windless days, then as you guys said put up some flags and learn to shoot wind. I take it as with most things you get what you pay for, is the Caldwell rock BR front rest substandard? The reason i ask is I have access to one of these, but can order somthing better if recommended. Oh just in case you wanted more back ground I am 36 and have 3 boys, 12, 9 and 7. And my wife likes it when I shoot and doesn't care if I buy more "gun crap".
Our range is in the bush and has a six solid benches under a shelter on concrete floor. And when i say i shoot alone I mean in my last 30 trips I think there was one hunter there sighting in his rifle. What about powders should I try to find Vihtavuori like 133 or?
