Wyo State BPTR midrange championship sponsors

[Don McDowell]

A big ol tip of the Wyo hat to the folks that donated prizes to the Championship match. Give these folks accolades when you do business with them.
I would like to extend my personal thanks to Swiss powder for the powder I got for being high sharpshooter, and to Cat's Shooting Sticks for the chamber swab they awarded for high paper patch.
   

[Steve Anderson]

Congratulations to you Don. Sounds like you had some personal best. Hard to not get stars in your eyes when that happens. Speaking of me here.

[Don McDowell]

Thanks Steve. Yes I shot my best ever 600 yd target the first time up, second time reality set back in, but still a 66 with 1 miss wasn't a bad score.

[Stephen Borud]

Good Job Don.

[Don McDowell]

Thanks Gary.
Not much to report, had some decent temps and no rain, lots of sudden windchanges that made the spotters job a bit tough at times.

[Kurt]

Pretty respectable finish Don. A little background on the rifle please.

It's that Browning I had the fast twist barrel from Oregon Barrel put on. 45-90 shooting JBA brass, rp 9 1/2 primer, 84 gr. OE 1 12 , napa rubber cork wad, Muzzleloader original dry lubed felt wad, BACO .446 525 bullet cast from 16-1, wrapped with a 7/8 wide patch seth cole 55w wet wrapped. Seated about 3 tenths in the case. Cases are full length resized then opened up with a custom expander from BACO, a light chamfer in the case mouth. Bullets are a super tight fit, it takes pretty good thumb pressure to seat them. After the bullets are seated wiped with a drop of jojoba oil on the finger tip.

Well it worked pretty well.
Pretty good 200 shooting position. I can't hold that tight off hand. I been using the 12# .22 CPA getting my off hand up to grade but I have a long way to go.
