I'll be bringing my A game for sure. The 39's did VERY well at 200 with 10x just slapping the rounds together without much case prep. I now have the "total package" as far as reloading tools and knowledge go, So we'll see what we can tweek out of them 39's. Plus I have a pound of 10X and 200 39'S to burn up. It just wouldn't seem like a match if I wasn't testing loads :wink: . It's more like a personal challange I think.If the 39's don't measure up,the 35's it will be. I hope EVERYBODY has time for their A game...I will :twisted:

That powder you sent me looks like Lilgun :eek: :lol: Here's a 39BK 10X 5 shot group from last spring. I'm glad I kept all/most of my targets. 10X is no slouch :P I also saw a .124 group with 10X at 100 in my file. :P :P :P

Sounds like fun

And another good excuse to go to the range. It'll probably cost me a day of vacation to do it.

ssv1761982 Welcome to the forum.

A day at the range is vacation. :D
Weatherman says the temp outside today will feel like 11 degrees factoring in the wind. Got a ladder with 70gn Bergs and N-530 in 223 that I'm itching to unload. Should be fun.

I have started printing the targets. I will start sending them out next Monday (2/26/08).

On a side note. Due to a less than stellar ending to 2007 and an extremely busy start to 08 I have finally managed to get the targets ready to send out to last shoots winners. I'll also include the chamber length gauges with the targets. Sorry for the delay gang.

I would like to participate. Never did a postal match before...have a few questions (it may seem like I didn't read this post, just trying to understand)

1. How do I get the targets mailed to me?

2. Are there separate targets for 100yard groups and 200 yards?

3. Since there are no spots to shoot at on the target, do I shoot for the center or head or what?

4. I don't understand the chop, flip, and ?? scoring but if I can shoot a bug hole, i ain't skeered lol.

5. What's the cost?
