I've got two coming. KFricks and HFricks. They're trying to figure out how to sign up for Arf since they only have gmail accounts.

The rules for the rear bags are clear as mud. I typically use a
https://www.milehighshooting.com/tab-gear-str8-str8-laced-bag/ or https://www.amazon.com/Wiebad-LLC-Mini-Range-Cube/dp/B017MGNDW6 Both of those are pretty popular in PRS. Are those kosher? |

It's smaller than the triad bag that was recently approved though. My thoughts, which don't count for jack, as long as it's not a BR type bag with rabbit ears/V's, it's all good. If you get into all of the other details about bags, you might as well go iron man and shoot without a rear bag. |

(I have not kept up with all the bags that have been ok'd) The rear bag has to be under your control. If you take your hand off of it, but leave your gun in place, you should not be on the target. |

Only thing I've got a load working for is tikka ctr. I'm happy to offer some factory ammo or a set of dies if you need them. I have a little redundancy problem.
Imperial sizing wax is all I use anymore. It's light years more consistent that my experience with one shot. |

I appreciate the offer. I'll try to grab another set of dies this week and pull a service rifle load from the web.
Those Tikkas are known to shoot very well. I've never got to play with one, but some guys report sub half MOA. |

I appreciate and could see the massive amount of effort that goes into planning and having an event like this. I hope the contribution bucket covered your expenses and then some.
I had a great day overall.
I had some funny looks mid-day when I was dumping my uber tactical chassis for the factory tupperware stock. The ergonomics of the chassis are something that I had a hard time getting settled in with. One thing I messed up with was letting the barrel heat up and chambering my next shot to quickly. I think that caused my ammo to heat up, which made it erratic. I took a break and shot the last two groups at more even pace. Huge thank you to Larue and all the HTF members working to keep it safe. Here are my pics.

Rob.....you didn't get my good side in that pic!
Thanks to Gahunter95 and everyone that helped to make it a great event and LaRue for offering up prizes! This was my first time ever attempting something like this, and I'll echo Robs thoughts. The barrel heating up, specifically barrel mirage, can and will get you if you aren't careful. Load#1 was a load that I'd been using and was my first attempt. I think my nerves got me as I had a thrown shot in most of the groups. Load #2 I had never used prior to yesterday outside of a group a few weeks back when trying to find a potential load for the upper node (tested 4 and picked that one). I think I'm close! 
Second 260 
Didn't get a pic at the range...but was fired using the same setup as posted above and had a SAS Reaper can on it. May not count in the official thread despite numerous witnesses. Not fantastic by any stretch of the imagination, but I was pleased considering that the brass should have been annealed at least 3 firings ago. |

Thanks for the feedback.
I had a really good time as well. The food was great and the competition was fun to watch. A special thanks to RedGoat, SouthernCross, RolandD, Draconis and Meme for coming out early and staying late. That group really did a lot of work for this. I don't actually know who did all the work, but I know RedGoat was the foreman for Friday afternoon setup. It was like magic. I arrived at 1 am and the lawn was mowed, the chairs were out, shower setup, range setup, and a nice campfire was already going. We made quick work of 3 pork butts, and had them on the smoker by ~145 am. I would also like to thank everyone who made / brought food. Roland's 'should be famous' Brunswick stew, wisenhyzer's cole slaw, meme's baked beans, and somebody made big pan of potato salad (sorry... I don't remember who that was) Oh yeah.... cookies, chips, sweet tea... it was all there. Nobody went hungry! I am now home and am busy unpacking. I'll write up an AAR and post it on p1 when I can. I also need to figure out the new picture guidelines, as my Ipotato pics are too large to post from my phone. |
