    2014 2nd Annual Matt Karstetter Memorial Field Match, Wilbur WA

    Great match. The ROs were great and the competitors were friendly and everyone was having a good time. I'm still kicking myself for blowing the pistol KYL stage but I'll be sure to get it next year. :rolleyes: Extra thanks to Clint for making this happen, and the sponsors for donating some great...

    Dpms is scaring me a little.

    I've seen it in person. It was an AR10 in 6.5 Creedmoor shooting factory Hornady ammo. I was with my buddy at a range confirming his zero before a class. He had the gun pointed at the target and hit the bolt release to chmber the round. As the bolt slammed home the round went off. Fortunately...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig p226, s&w M&P9, or cz sp-01

    Or just, you know, practice with the DA/SA and perhaps even take an extra .1 second on the first pull and then for the next 11-31 trigger pulls enjoy a wonderful SA pull in a gun that shoots so well it feels like you're cheating compared to some plastic pistol. I've shot competitively with an...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig p226, s&w M&P9, or cz sp-01

    If you're having a hard time deciding, find a range that has even a normal CZ 75 and rent it. We're talking about a lot of on-paper specs here but there's no replacement for actually shooting the guns and I think that's where you'll see why people are so crazy about their CZs.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig p226, s&w M&P9, or cz sp-01

    I've never had an issue with the number of internal parts, and that's especially true if you pick up a Shadow version since it does away with a fair number of internal parts. As far as converting to SA, it's as simple as getting a SA trigger (like literally the trigger itself) and then just...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig p226, s&w M&P9, or cz sp-01

    What competitions are you looking to get into? I've owned and shot competitively with both a M&P 9 Pro and a CZ SP-01 Shadow (as well as other pistols) and for me there's no question the CZ fits my needs better. The extra weight of the CZ keeps recoil down and makes it very easy to shoot fast...

    2014 2nd Annual Matt Karstetter Memorial Field Match, Wilbur WA

    I was looking at the numbers for my little 6 out that far and laughing. In the email that went out I recall it saying you could use a different rifle for the 1750 shots, so I'm hoping I can use my dad's .300WM.

    Regarding the 1750 yard shot, you say "any caliber below .300WM" on a post from page 1. Does that exclude .300WM rifles?

    Ah. In that case I suppose you don't have much of a choice. The hardest part about getting into matches is taking the first step of actually coming to a match, so even without the rifle I suppose you can still get that out of the way, meet some people, see how the match works, learn a little...

    If you come, just bring your gear. In my experience with matches, especially ones as friendly to new shooters as this match will be this weekend, people who come watch always say "man, I wish I brought my gear so I could shoot."

    6x45mm vs 6.5 Grendel

    Ok, so a 24" Grendel can push a 140 with a BC of .520-.580 at 2400fps. That same rifle in 6mm can push a 105 with a BC of .530 or more to nearly 2800fps. The tiny BC advantage of even the .580 bullet can't make up for a nearly 400fps deficit.

    6x45mm vs 6.5 Grendel

    Indeed, the 105s will more than likely hit with MORE energy at anything past 200 or so and do it with less drop and drift compared to the 120-130gr stuff in the 6.5 Grendel. I should point out though that cramming a long 105 Hybrid into the 6AR (or similar) case and getting it into a magazine...

    6x45mm vs 6.5 Grendel

    His initial post stated "Will be shooting steel/paper out to 600-700 yards max." and only later did he mention even a possible use on coyotes or varmints, but he still maintained the paper/steel would be the main use. Now, I understand that all else being equal the higher BC is better, but even...

    308 maten build- low mass vs high mass systems ...... (slash heavy vs jp lmos)

    When I had my 6XC maten I had my smith machine my carrier to lighten it, then I cut a number of coils off my recoil spring and I lightened my standard buffer. I then used an adjustable gas block to tune the whole thing. In the end I had a rifle that cycled quickly and felt more like an AR15 than...

    6x45mm vs 6.5 Grendel

    I had a 6mmAR for a while, it was great. Slinging the .530BC Hornady 105 bullets at 2770 out of a 24" barrel was no problem and the rounds fed great from the magazine. In a 6.5 Grendel the high BC bullets (the heavy/long 140ish grain stuff) won't fit in a magazine so you're stuck shooting the...
