I'm in for the smallbore sniper matches for sure! Once I get my butt in gear, finish remodeling the "reloading level" of the house, and get some ammo made, I'll be in for the others; especially the poker match!

Re: Purchasing once fired pistol brass question I've bought a lot from brassmanbrass.com, fwiw.

Re: Rimfire Scope......Advise? Here's what I did, for what it's worth: savage mark ii, 20 moa base, good rings (gotta trust every part of the system, right?), mil/mil SWFA SS 12x (with their mil-quad reticle; I'm really liking it). It works well. Easy to line up on 1/2" dots at 100 yds...

Re: Paper Logs/Bricks as alternate fuel source? Seasoning is really just drying. You just get less heat out if energy is spent boiling off the water that's stuck in the logs, otherwise if it'll burn, burn it! Perhaps this is old hat, but: The smaller you split it, the more surface area is...

Re: Youth 22LR Rifle I got a 'pink' cricket for my daughter when she was 5. Single shot, pretty solid, and cheap. Found out she had an eye problem about the time I had a rail machined for it and put a red-dot on it. Super fun to shoot. She used it until about 8, at which point she started...

In case it doesn't get mentioned some other way, these matches are pretty cool, but not too intimidating (no running 3.1 miles between shots, or whatever): http://www.marksmanshiptrainingcenter.com/Store/Events/FriendlyFire_2012-11-03.html

Re: Best scope for pof 308 twenty inch barrel per the 2nd part of your question: american rifle company M3 rings are my fav; eurooptic.com is where I've bought all that I've bought

Re: Michigan Tactical Matches I don't know what you're interested in, but in general, I can say that after attending two events/matches at the marksmanship training center (http://www.marksmanshiptrainingcenter.com/) that place is pretty cool. I've spent time in the past putting together...

Re: grouping at 200yards While I don't think you're asking too much, I do think you might want to adjust your priorities. Meaning, if they don't touch at 200 yds, but are inside 3 inches at 600, maybe you don't care about the 200. I say run it out further before you get critical.
