This is going out as a feeler. 

There is a potential to get a order of Berger bullets.  To keep it simple money wise, it may be based on paying in US funds.

This would be like the powder order that was done many years ago.  You say you want them you take them.  That time 32 kegs of powder were brought in and all went out the door as fast as it came in.

This guarantees the store is NOT stuck with the product. 

This is to feel out the potential if it is feasible to place the order.

I am trying to assist in helping our Canadian BR shooters get bullets.

PM, email or text me.

What tuner do you have?  Harrell's?

I have a Harrell's.  I was informed a few years ago before Ron Hoehn passed how to set up a tuner.

Ron mentioned, to foul your barrel with whatever it takes to settle it down.  Turn your tuner in all the way to zero.  Fire a 3 shot group in readable conditions.  Turn the tuner out 4 revolutions and fire another 3 shot group.  Repeat until the tuner has been moved the entire length.  I believe you will have 5 or 6 (3 shot) groups.  At some point you should hopefully see a round promising group.  Go back to that setting and shoot a group to confirm.  You then split the difference and try 2 revolutions up and 2 down  see what you get.  That is basically it in the nutshell.  Test lots with the tuner on.

Repeat for every lot you have.  When you find what seems like magic buy all you can afford.  And try to test in readable wind conditions.  What may work in the calm may not shoot in the wind.  I have had some lots that did not group well in the calm but seemed to hold there own in the wind.

My take on how I was informed to test.

Thanks for sharing and passing this on Rick. 

This can be the biggest game changer in the sport of short range Benchrest.

I want to thank Dwayne and Colleen for opening there house to myself and Amber when we make the trips to Kenora.

Thanks also to those with whom we were able to break bread with and share a drink this past year.  Phil, Louis, Ron, Lorna, Dwayne and Colleen.  We enjoyed Smith Camps and Ristorante as well as your hospitality.

Finally the matches themselves.  Kenora is a little hidden gem of a range. Tricky place to shoot, and a great bunch to compete against.

Cannot wait till next year.

200 Meter Benchrest Match Results

Rifle Division Holds 200 Meter Benchrest Match Sunday September 1st, 2019.


The last match of the season was attended by 17 shooters. The day started off with a couple hours of light rain falling straight down with almost no wind. By late morning the rain tapered off to drizzle before stopping, with continued calm wind conditions. The sun came out after lunch with light winds switching out of the west, north and east to move the bullets off their intended course. The mild wind conditions contributed to 2 new range records being set.
