Do you have a velocity of that round out of your rifle? If so, are you still supersonic at 1000? Also, do you have enough elevation to make 1000 yards? These are things new long range shooters sometimes forget to check and end up frustrated on the line.

If it were registered as a Fullbore match, definitely a record. I don't think so in this case. If there was a Palma aggregate, it would have been a range record for Palma. However, no records this time I believe. I'm just happy I'm able to help other shooters in this game and I try to have fun...

Duplin bipod is lightweight at 1 pound 1 ounce and strong, sturdy, and rigid. Has cant and elevation adjustment too.

Re: Reamer for F T/R Class In general for .308Win, I add a half grain more, as you indicated, going from Lapua to Winchester brass.

Re: 200 berger hybrid for F-TR I used them in Raton at the Nationals and I was second by 5 points. Jim, the winner, was also using them. They are harder to get running well but well worth it if you can find the right combination. I had only one range session to choose a load before Nationals...

Re: Beware Duplin rifles gunsmithing Chris, Clint is a personal friend of mine. I'm disappointed in how you handled this disagreement. I'm not going to lower myself to throwing personal attacks. The problems I had earlier in the year had nothing to do with Clint's quality. I was trying to...

Re: Beware Duplin rifles gunsmithing There are two sides to this story. I've seen and shot Clint's work and it is great quality. Chris, I'm disappointed in this post and I've lost some respect for you. One factor you failed to mention is that Clint did this all for FREE.

Re: Sinclair Fullbore Nationals What XTR said is correct. The limit is for the sling shooters shooting NRA Fullbore. F-Class in Fullbore has identical equipment and is shot two-to-the-mound style. That is the only difference for Fullbore F-Class. At this match, only the last match each day is...

Sinclair International East Coast Fullbore Nationals Please consider attending the Sinclair East Coast Fullbore Nationals next year. It is open to more than just F-Class.

Re: Powder for heavy bullets in 308 Win? N550 does have issues in my opinion. I can get good velocities out of it but I will never use it again in competition. It lacks the consistency I need with changing temperatures. I've used Varget, N150, and H4350 with good results with heavier...

Re: 2012 Nationals what bullet stood out in FTR. Maybe 25 fps between my 32.25 and the 34 (comparing 185BT). I'm actually thinking of cutting this one back to 32.25. It is just not needed and would make the barrel stiffer. My shortest barrel is 31".

Re: 2012 Nationals what bullet stood out in FTR. I guess it is close to a heavy Palma. I also use an aluminum Kelbly action, an aluminum and hollowed out post, and my bipod weighs 1 pound 1 ounce (Duplin Rifles bipod).

Re: 2012 Nationals what bullet stood out in FTR. I can't give away all of my secrets! However, Clint Cooper (Duplin Rifles) orders them just the way I like from Boots and he can get one for you too.

Re: 2012 Nationals what bullet stood out in FTR. I actually toned it down a bit to that velocity. Barrel is an Obermeyer to my internal specifications at 33 15/16" (total length from threads to crown).
