Montana 1000

[Randy E.]

Now that my fingers and their high speed blisters have healed I can finally type a little(blisters from hot elevation and windage knobs from turning so fast) That was the fastest conditions changing I have witnessed for a long time-maybe ever. Just when I was about to pull the trigger spotter would yell a new correction or two! Never have seen a bullet's impact so hard to move to get back on target. Sometimes taking 10 to 13 or more minutes to get back over. Congrats to Dave for an excellent job shooting. I thought the paper patch shot very consistent,as compared to some other excellent shooters and dopers,on a couple targets where the 45-110 stayed the course perhaps a little tighter than some? Elevation setting was about 14 minutes lower than the 45-90 grease groove of my highwall that Loyce shot. Fouling was never an issue with the 1-F Swiss and the 50-50 antifreeze solution of the patches. Bores wiped clean of both rifles after the match with 1 patch. Very fun day,highs and lows of emotion. Still would beat the hell out of golfing although changing my hobby crossed my mind several times during the match!!! Randy
