    Question on Lapua performance differences

    All I can share from seeing what ammo wins/places at the top of our four local longrange matches is Super Long Range is by far the top ammo used. Some have tried Center-X and Midas but doesn't come close to the scores the Super Long Range produces. Might be a totally story/results for BR or...

    Walther Hammerli Force B1

    A buddy bought one thinking it was similiar to his old Izhmash which I had acquired from him. The action operation even though similiar is not even close to the smoothness of the Izhmash. First thing that came to mind when getting hands on was it reminded me of the same feel you get flipping up...

    My adventure into Long Gong (kinda)

    I've been a Longrange competitor since the Seventies starting in IHMSA but have always played with seeing how far I could get a 22 rimfire to shoot and hit things farther than most thought possible since I was in 4th grade shooting at a muskrat every morning before leaving for school that swam...

Turnout was kinda down compared to last year but maybe due to high prices for everything, multiple shoots or...
