I found a line on over 5 BAT SV, RB LP RE, stainless, with .308 bolt face+sako extractor for PPC cartridges. Anyone interested in doing a combined order? I figure they will cost $1400 landed in Calgary. If you are - let me know!!
cheers,
Bob

Hey,

so, in getting some brass I bought from Lester Bruno ready for the upcoming season. It was already neck turned down to 8.5 thou thickness but not fired. I measure the shoulder at the base of the neck compared to brass I shot last year and the unfired 220 Russian brass has a shoulder that is ~10 thou longer!!! Does that make sense??

I used ~10grains of Bullseye mixed with cornmeal and wax over the neck opening - which worked ok. I think it took a 3rd firing for the cases to be 100% expanded.

Now that I have a shot out barrel I'm planning to fire 22 cal bullets on the first firing (into a bank of dirt, up close...).

Hey Cal, did you survive? And are you flying back? That's a tall 2 day drive.

Cal, appreciate you posting about this as I bought a set also! I bought two up/down indicators as well. I had them out to Rosebud the other day to get used to them - they're very nice!

Good shooting boys. Bob you want to sell that rifle of yours?
3rd match for you and you are doing VERY well against some Wiley veterans.

I'd love to switch guns for a practice day and compare notes...

The original plan was to come back home after 2 days of shooting so my daughter could be ready for the first day of school on Tues morning. By the time the girls returned to the range on Sunday afternoon it was too late to buy a plane ticket over the internet for my daughter and to big a deal to run to the Seattle airport to see if something was available at a decent price.

Moral of the story = I will never go to a shoot an not be prepared to stay till the bitter end. I was second in the grand agg after 2 days.

Many thanks to DanO and Jefferson for all the help and tips!!!!! And to Rick P for tons of tips last shoot!!

I'm going back in 2013 to get my mug!!!!!

The shoot is getting close, a few of us Cannucks are headed down there...

Checked the weather - how do you hold when there's no wind?  ::)  ::)  :o

114
Are the 2013 Nationals dates known?

115
It was great to be there and see the record - and for Rick to take home an armful of trophies!

116
lookin' forward to this - see you on Friday!

117
Question - what is the difference between a morning and afternoon load?

Is there a common technique for dialing in loads?

118
Is that how I can get more bullets before spring???   :-*  :-*  :-*  :-*

119
Haven't been to the range before however, barbequed burgers or something similar works for me. I can help with the cooking if you need a hand.
cheers,
Bob
