My garage gets way too hot in the summer to reload so I had to move some of the stuff inside the house.

I had a Winchester 70 Stealth in 243 WSSM and had a hard time opening the bolt too. In my instance, the cases had to be full length sized in order to solve the problem.

I haven't been shooting nor on THR in months....hopefully I can join in on the fun soon.

Congratulations to all the winners and participants! The target looked really tough and you guys made it look so easy. Hopefully in April, I'll get a chance to shoot the match. Again, good shooting everyone.

You guys are showing some exception shooting skills! I'm impressed!

Bones, the targets aren't as easy as it looks. I wouldn't worry about the score, with a little practice, you will be up and running. Regarding the FGMM 168s, I've used them many times for 200yd and 600yd competitions. I can vouch that they shoot extremely well.

Excellent shooting P51! I also agree that the target on the second row is a 3. A mighty fine 43-7x should be your score. :)

I have a few 25# bags of lead shot and they can hang under the bottom shelf for added weight/stability.

Nice setup! I thinking about getting one too for my single stages. The stand seems like it might need more weight on the bottom shelf to keep the stand stable.

Mcdonl, you're such a trooper shooting in those frigid conditions! :what: You deserve a medal!

Went back out to the range and gave it another try today. I shot my daughter's old Marlin youth rifle with a 16" barrel, short LOP and a 3x9 Bushnell scope. It's a single shot and pretty fun to shoot. I used a front rest and a rear bag. Too bad it started to rain after my second target as I...

Slugo, thanks for the info! That explains the mystery! ;)

Nice looking gun there Slugo! I bought my B325 from around the same period too. By looking at your serial number I think my gun is a slightly earlier model. It's a Grade 2 which I have never seen in their catalog. I had the gun tubed with Brileys and use it only for 4 gun skeet competitions...

Greg, your Caldwell rest is okay for the match. I've use a front rest and a bipod, but at times, found it easier just to shoot with the latter. For me, a round and narrow forend has a tendency to cant, causing my group sizes to increase. That's why I rather use a non swivel Harris bipod for...

I would also recommend a chair mounted launcher. I had an Outers double arm version on a chair/stand and it worked great.
