    2025 Lapua ammo in stock vendors

    Not much Lapua being sent, especially the top tier stuff. When it does show up it's usually gone in minutes. Usually gotta get on a list and wait a year or so. Some send their guns to a test center if for nothing else to be able to buy a few bricks or maybe a case. Topstrap

    Rear bag recommendations

    For PRS style of shooting my Son likes his Gamechanger. For most prone or bench shooting we use a bag of my own design. Oval shaped of military canvas. Nice and firm and can rotate as needed for elevation changes. Tough as Hell but kinda manly fuzzy ugly but is best design we've found for our...

    Car/Truck Lift

    I just finished putting in an Atlas PV12PX 2 post lift. It's a 12K symmetrical style, extra wide and extra tall so there is plenty of extra room for doors to open and mirrors to clear. I've set mine for a 14' ceiling but it will go another foot taller. Very beefy and very well made. I'll...

    Well, Fall is finally here and this will be the last Topstraps Rimfire Challenge matche of the year. This is the match I wait for all year, it's by far the most fun to run and watch everyone compete in. Some competitors get a bit intimidated by it since there is a time limit but quite a few of...

    September Topstraps Rimfire Challenge

    I can tell when they get out to 100 yards or so, some B stuff does decent but still use up more real estate on the targets and also the occasional dropped round. The top shelf stuff you can pretty much know where it's going each shot. If you have to cheat with ammo we have a couple of Savage MK...

    Results September 2024 Topstraps Rimfire Challenge

    August match is in the books and was a low turnout. It was windier than normal except for about an hour on Friday morning for the first two competitors. Saturday was really bad and only two shooters braved the wind but still shot well. Friday and Sunday were both shifty breezy wind and there...

    Some ammo accuracy sharing and a "betcha ain't seen one of these before"

    It was a lot of fun back in the days of IHMSA, new challenges and using what was available to us. Thanks for sharing. Topstrap

    Some ammo accuracy sharing and a "betcha ain't seen one of these before"

    You may be right about the FA compared to a factory Exemplar. They were really close but like you said the Exemplar was easier to shoot, that led to the contraption. I think my Custom Exemplar is ahead of it but it's kinda in a different league. Fun dragging these pistols out to the longrange...

    Some ammo accuracy sharing and a "betcha ain't seen one of these before"

    It's very sensitive like any handgun as to shooter input, that is why I built the contraption. It's scary accurate, not sure if it'll run with my custom Exemplar but looking forward to some new testing with Lapua. FA revolvers sure changed the IHMSA world but I had stopped before these came...

    Some ammo accuracy sharing and a "betcha ain't seen one of these before"

    In between lulls in the shooters waiting to shoot I dug an old project out I'd experimented with a few years ago. After hearing a buddy telling a couple of other competitors about it I dug deep into the vault and retrieved it. I had only shot the old Wolf Target in it but it shot amazing well. I...

    What a great weekend for a match. Other than some crazy wind coming out of nowhere on Sunday afternoon it was beautiful and calm conditions. A lot of great scores were shot but those that battled thru the wind on Sunday endured some wild conditions. I had to let some have extra sighter shots...

    The June match was much nicer weather wise than May with having no rain at all but the winds were higher. Friday was terrible, the tops of the trees were going back and forth at least 6 ft and all the trees down both sides of the range were just swirling all different directions. The ones that...
