Montana 1000 yd

[bobw]

Was rough, I am sure all of you have shot in as rough a wind as Sunday was or worse. It basically increased all day long while varying up and down in spd and direction. East to NE then straight east to SE by east. some full value to less than full value from the flight path. Started at 7.5 minutes R at target #2 and ended the day back at target #1 with 22.5 MOA right windage. Did ok on # 2 and went heck on the rest of them. the 7/10 on # 2 told me my load was working fine just came up short on the hard holding part and concentration. A little heavier barrel in the sticks would have helped. More than a few shot prone. 2/3 were shooting smokeless I'd guess. Don't really care about that anyway , I went for me and the experience which was still enjoyable despite less score results than I would have liked. The lever spring broke on my All Business rifle and luckily for me Dean had a spare. Took on the 1200 yd buffalo sat afternoon 3 shots to get the vertical (185) points and a 4th to dial in the windage I connected on the 5th. My load was a .440" vellum patched to .4495" 45 TGBS KAL tool mold ppb at 547 grs at 1-50. I wiped with 2 wets and a dry and I had to move right along to keep up. Had a good time and will do it again. bobw
