Thanks! Thanks for the link Flashfire. I had just one single frame in the entire video, but I was there. One is better than none!

Match photos? I really enjoyed this weekend's match at UNSC. It was a lot of fun, I just wish I didn't miss so many of those targets! I have nobody to blame but myself. My rifle is spot on, it is just the guy behind the trigger making all the mistakes. If there is a link for any of...

One rifle Unfortunately, I only have one rifle worthy of shooting at a match. It is a very nice gun all custom GA Precision, but I bought it strictly as a long range hunting rig. I found the match scene later. I'm kind of stuck with the decision I made before I knew any better. Maybe by...

I have seen a 50 BMG turn a sheet of AR500 into a taco in a single shot, so heck yes...enough power will destroy anything. I was not aware of the bolt frag thing - you may have a point there.

steel damage I think the steel damage thing is a bit overrated. The only targets I think would truly be at risk would be at the 100 yard line or maybe the 200 yard line, and only if they were mechanical, which if I recall isn’t used at the matches at UNSC (at least the day I was there). The...

Match instruction / learning My rifle first match ever was at UNSC. I had no idea what to expect. Weeks before the match, Nick took the time to meet me at UNSC where I learned about using the shooter app to adjust velocity to match observed results – before I relied on the crony which seems...

It is with regret that I must give up my coveted spot at the match next weekend. My wife reminded me of a previous commitment that I can't get out of attending. Please save me a slot in the next available match. I was really looking forward to that shoot! Arg...

eberlestock X3 Steepdiver: I have the Eberlestock X3 Low Drag and I really like it. I'm pretty tall, so I purchased the extra-long shoulder straps which did help the fit significantly. I'd say it will do just about anything you want and the size is just about right. You obviously want the...

Are any UNSC members shooting there tomorrow?

Taking advantage of nice weather… I'm interested in either Acme for some 860 and 1275 long range, or UNSC. Is anyone else interested in either place? With bright sun, it should be a nice day for Acme, but mirage can be a bitch up there in the heat. I found a new place which is good for 800...

Nice grouping Sacshooter! I'm running a 7mm WSM, and I have only one type of brass, and just one bullet worth shooting (Berger 180VLD) - I have tried just about everything on the market. Despite all the shortfalls with this round, I have it working very well, but it is a temperamental bastard...

@ slm9s: I'm shooting a bolt gun. I have seriously considered taking the grinder to one of my mags and slicing out a slot wide enough for the tips. I decided against it when I remembered how much those things cost. @ Marty: I'll check out that product - thanks! BTW, you are one hell of...

There are things about malfunctions that aren't the fault of the equipment, but instead the user (like me). I have been loading my OAL too long for the magazine. I get super accurate sub 1/4" rounds chasing the lands within a few thousands, but it creates feed problems when the tip of the...

I'm looking to go to UNSC tomorrow for some 600 yard plinking. Is anyone else interested? PM me if you are a member and going. I could get there about 10 or 10:30 AM? I'd like to try out a new load at distance to see how it groups. The round doesn't seem to settle much at short distance so I...

I'll pass and stick with my current supply of the 180 VLD Hunting type. I know there probably isn't any distinguishable difference, but I like to keep things the same if possible.
