<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: skinnypitt</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Ok stupid question from a newbie...

the breif says no FMJ but I went out to find ammo for my pistol and all I can find is FMJ and hollow point. What are you guys shooting?</div></div>



me thinks that applies to rifle rounds only.....
 
Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

What Boltripper said...

Get some boxes of Winchester pistol ammo from Wallyworld (white box) and you'll be fine.

The rule applies to rifle ammo so that it doesn't tear up the steel targets. Same reason velocity is limited to 3100fps.
 
Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

Question, I do not have a pistol that qualifies for this competition so I am going to have too sit this one out

but would love to come out as a spectator is this allowed?

I just know it's gonna kill me that the new stick won't be able to compete, I was hoping I could shoot this match then I noticed the pistol stages

So will I be able to tag along with you guys?

Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

Hoff, I'll bring an extra pistol if you want to use it and I've got plenty of ammo. I hate to see you miss this plus the more people in this the better the chances are I won't come in last place. Let me know what your flavor is on pistols and I'll have it there for ya.
 
Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

Thanks for the offer Bmorgan but after my range trip yesterday I need a lot more practice before entering a match. I don't want to suck that bad in front of all you guys!

i do think that I am going to go to LRA over this year for practice.

Do you guys hold this match every year? if so count me in for next year!
 
Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

Those are some cool trophies Rich, nice job! Need to find out who produced them (I hope it wasn't mentioned earlier and I missed it!)

Looking forward to shooting this match weekend after next! Thanks to you and the set up crew for your efforts.

You'd probably still shoot lights out

Get well soon, hope to see you at another match again.
 
Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

Oh shit! No flowing locks? No Farah Fawcett curls? No sexy twinkle in your eyes when I'm laying close to you (on the line). . . . . . . ?

Can you FedEx me a few clippings to keep on my person during the match?

P.S.: They better not be tooooo curly. I know how your twisted mind works.

Sure wish you could be there.
Best to you and your family.
 
Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

Well it looks like Im gonna have to drop out of this match. My scope broke and I still dont have the new one back. I was in the middle of load work up with a new bullet when it happened so I dont even have a load for the match and dont know my dope either. Scope didnt come in today so now, with the holiday, the earliest it will be in is Tuesday and I cant take all of next week off work to finish getting the rifle set up for the match. Im just a little pissed about the situation. I been looking forward to this match for 3 months.
 
Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

Sorry to hear that, that sucks.....
I wish this gear wasn't so crazy expensive.... then a person could have two of everything just in case something breaks.....
 
Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

Lucks, I've been prepping brass all day. Can't load becuase I have no bullets!! UPS don't fail me now.. I HOPE they will be here tomorrow, so I can get everything loaded and head to LA first thing Wed morning!!

Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

Triton19, I know how you do it, about midnite or later you will be up loading, going dang why didn't I do this earlier. Next you will be buying a Creedmore so you can shoot factory rounds and won't have to reload...

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Lucks</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Am I the only one spending Labor Day loading ammo for the match?:)</div></div>

No, you're not! Got all my match ammo loaded today and ready to ship to the range tomorrow.

We've had a real nice break in the heat/humidity over here in Birmingham this weekend. I'm sure it'll be all gone by next Sat morning though.....95 degrees and 1000% humidity is what I'm planning for.

Looking forward to this match!
 
Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

Spent the day out at the range shooting from 100 to 600yds making sure my dopes are good and solid in the same weather we'll most likely have next weekend. I'm loading up rounds tonight as well!

Mick </div></div>. Mick, you're right. As it is I've used new brass for the last 4 matches. No prep just stuff a primer and powder and bullet and done. Not this time! Cabellas is out of brass so I'm RE-F'N-LOADING! Looks like a creedmoor is in order.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: skinnypitt</div><div class="ubbcode-body">OK here goes, no rain , no rain, no rain! </div></div>

It's raining here now, about 45 minutes north of LRA.

You can stop now.
