I saw the rain thing as well Bill. Paul Ross touched one off at just the right (or for him wrong) time. He happened to have just gotten a sleeved 700 all done up just in time for the match. Well the bullet was quite a ways out of the group and the Gun was on the consignment rack at Russells on Monday. I saw the water spray and told him that it wasn't the gun, but it didn't matter. He had a Bat action before the 700 was even sold and spent the next few years kicking everyones butt! That was one of the first Bats at Rosebud and it was the main attraction at a match!
That is the interesting part of our sport. It is surprising how many things can go wrong while you are trying to put 5 shots in the same hole. We seem to remember the bad shot's as much as we remember the good shots.

I'll do Calvins. I was attacked (or bitten) by a wasp and the venum effected my lip to the point I was bumping my gun with it.
Seriously though I have had a gravitational void effect my bullet flight at Rosebud on bench 14 200 yards and a north east wind!It had to be a lack of gravity because it hit an  inch higher than the rest of them.
Also my scope must be ****ed.
Actually the best I heard was from a fellow who will remain unnamed (came from Saskatchewan and is now a welder in Alberta) who said he shot poorly at the Nationals one year because he ate breakfast!

How was it for accuracy at 54 clicks? My groups at 50 cl. and 52 cl. were quite similar. Wish I could have tried the 50 cl. with the bullet seated a little deeper. I started with the marks twice as long as deep and it really preffered them .005 deeper. Will play with it some more when I can be out there when the wind is a little lighter. Not much fun shooting when you are scared it will blow the gun  off the bench! Paul had his new gun out and I forgot to get pictures. The stock is the same color as my L.V. stock.

I was at 52 clicks. May need to get a longer drop tube. Did you run any over a chrony?

Should I try and book Steven Segal to teach us?

Reading those is another one of those "experience" things I guess, huh? 

You guys aree fantastic, thanks for all the info!

Sometimes they lie no matter how much experience you have!

Yep, you can tell by the amount of hair! He got a hair cut once and I never recognized him.

Rosebud got targets here;
National Target
3958-D Dartmouth Court
Frederick, MD 21703
I imagine they do group as well as score. Just tell them you want IBS or NBRSA approved targets.

You gotta make one with the wasp whisperer on it!

I learned the SINGLE SHOT TARGET RIFLE line the first time i crossed into the U.S. The American custom agent told his helper to check the serial number on my gun as I had a Bat Machine Gun in the trailer. I made sure I corrected him right away!!!! It has never been looked at since on either side of the border. Now about those cavity searches Bill.........
