Centerfire Discussions / Congrats to canadians at NBRSA Nats & Worlds
« on: September 29, 2025, 01:21:12 PM »
Short and sweet.  Congrats to all the Canadians who were present at the NBRSA Nationals and those that competed in the Worlds.

Congrats to Robert Seeman on winning the 2 gun at the Nationals and placing 2nd in the 3 & 4 Gun at the Nationals.  His points from the Nationals I believe ties him with Hugh W at 7. 

Very soon one of them will make it into the BR Hall of Fame.  I do not believe there is anyone outside of a US citizen in the BR Hall of Fame.

Something else I should mention, the inaugural Walter Mychalchuk LV Grand Aggregate.

Many may have never met Walter or shot against him.  In my mind he was the life of the shoot.  He no longer shoots as he is at the ripe ole age of 92.  His eyesight is not the best.  His son Larry has carried on the tradition.  Walter loved the sport and said he wished he had started when he was a lot younger.  This award will be handed out every Provincials.

Enjoy the picture of Match Director Grant Schick, Larry Mychalchuk, and inaugural winner Tory Phinn.

Also here is a picture of Walter from years gone by winning the 2 gun.  Smile Walter.....

Centerfire Discussions / Cleaning solution, my experiment
« on: August 18, 2025, 09:16:16 AM »
This is an experiment I decided to try.  Take it however you wish.
I mixed First Choice with about an inch long strip of Iosso into a small bottle with a couple small ball bearings to help mix and break down the Iosso.  The bottle is about 100ml.


This will be my new go to solvent for carbon and copper.


I looked at my barrel with the scope again today after shooting the Provincials this past weekend.  No copper or carbon at all in the grooves or on the lands.


I just ran 2 wet patches of straight Boretech or First choice to get most of the carbon out.  Wet a soft nylon brush with my solution and brushed back and forth maybe 14 to 16 times.  Let sit while I loaded with brush at the end of the muzzle.  Do about another dozen strokes after loading, 3 wet patches, dry, and oil.


The Thorro Clean and Flush works, but in the long run this is way easier on the pocket book when paying 30.00 US for a small cleaning solution kit.


Just an FYI.  I dont expect you guys to change methods but no soaking needed at all.

Once again, the usual unsteady lake winds wreaked havoc.

Not the prettiest small groups but the usual Selkirk switchy twitchy winds from the lake.

By the looks of it one is unable to stack flags below the target?  Is that a moving backer as well or was just a score shoot?

It has come and gone.  The weather for the weekend was as nice as one could expect.  Saturday gave switchy twitchy winds.  Sunday was a 200 yard dream.  Gentle blows that would actually come and stay for a while. 

Unfortunately for this shoot many shooters had other commitments.  Hopefully they told there kids to have their babies in the winter, and not during shooting season.

When all was said and done, Grant (The Professor) Schick laid a beatdown on us.  He has got things figured out with his LV and HV.  Grant shot a nice 200 yard screamer on top of the beating.  He also took home the Everett Amundgard 2 Gun and Jim Smola HV Grand awards.  Both men were active shooters from the US back in the day.

Thanks to the few who were able to show up and hope to see you all next spring.  Thanks to Chelsea for running another smooth match and whomever helped setting up the target frames.  Without everyone pitching in our small matches would not happen.

Centerfire Discussions / Re: 22 PPC Norma or Sako brass in Canada
« on: August 10, 2024, 07:49:21 AM »
At the moment Lapua 220 Russian is unobtanium.
I have heard thru the grapevine that may be changing come the fall.  Those that are needing brass have been grabbing Norma brass.  The talk is about it being a bit softer than Lapua.  Brian Zolnikov in the US has done extensive testing on different brass for the 6PPC.  In a nutshell they are pretty close.  The only thing for me with Norma is in shooting a .269 neck.  It is a bit thinner than Lapua so out of the box a loaded rouind is in the .265 range.  A bit thinner than I would like.  Shooters in the US are using it as is and saying with success.  That is with a light skim cut.  If I am wrong maybe
one of the AB gang would verify this.
