Shooters Holiday

[Drydock]

Good time out on Jerrys farm this weekend.  Ringing steel at 600 yards with a .50 Govt Sharps was a fine thing indeed.  Heck, digging dirt with those big slugs to find the range was plenty fun

[El Tio Loco]

Is this with your new Shiloh Carbine?  Cool time for sure!

[Niederlander]

I had to go to the State Fair.  Would love to have joined you guys!

[Drydock]

This was my Business Rifle.  Hopefully the carbine shows up next year

[Pitspitr]

My biggest disappointment of the weekend was that we were never able to find splash and so couldn't adjust to make hits on the mile target 

[Tascosa Joe]

What load were you shooting in the 50 Govt?

[Pitspitr]

I had to go to the State Fair.  Would love to have joined you guys!

I thought you were retired?

[Drydock]

Accurate 51-630r sized .512,  beeswax olive oil lube. 70 grain OE 2f, WLR primer, Starline case.  1100 fps out of a 30" barrel.  24" drop tube and .2 compression with a separate die.  Bullet seated .5 in the case, one grease groove exposed.  Case partially sized, lightly flared, no crimp.  No wad.

My daughter wanted to ride carnival rides.  Yay.

 Nothing better than standing in line for the Tilt-a-whirl.

[Niederlander]

Several times, no less.

Unless it's puking afterwards....all over the dash of your car....in front of the girl you are trying to impress.

I'll bet you guys are thinking you could have done without the visuals about now.

May want to scatter football field marking chalk in front and to sides of target, don't think it would hurt soil or maybe lime if soil is too acidic

[Drydock]

Bullets are too small.

[Pitspitr]

Bullets are too small.

Yes, maybe. I'm going to try the 300 WM next and if I still can't see impacts, I may try Lady Catherine

[Pitspitr]

Thinking of large bullets; I found one of yours laying by the 600 yd target

Bullets are too small.

Says Mr. 630 grain bullet!

[Drydock]

Well, yeah . . .

That sounds a lot like the voice of experience...
