True. I know that in Utah you can just drive out to the desert (certain miles away from civilization) and set up and shoot. Some guys shoot a mile (1760yds) with no one else around. Wish I could do that here.

Trust nothing my friend. If you intend to make a run at this in earnest, then you'll be measuring and weighing everything.

Consistency is everything in this game, even the temperature and humidity in your loading room when your loading.

Here is a link to a nice (not over the top) article on ammo. It has some links in it to assist in other facets of the game.

I agree Sir but, to start I’ll use factory loaded stuff.....it’s actually pretty good. Once I find what my gun likes, I can fine tune it with loading my own.

Thanks for the link, I’ll check it out.

Thank you.

I haven’t personally seen or read anything that shows definitive accuracy issues by not “breaking in” a new barrel. So, generally I just shoot it with however many rounds I brought that particular day. Also, I believe you will not see the actual accuracy of a barrel till it fouls up properly. What I usually do with a new barrel is to shoot how ever many rounds I brought then, clean it really well at home base. The next few range trips after that get no cleaning till I see the accuracy falling off. I will run a bore snake through it every now and then though.

Convince me otherwise and I might listen.

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

Yesterday I received the ammo I ordered from Grafs. Unfortunately, I will be out of town on the next open range days (5th and 6th) for the Sheriffs Range. So, looks like some time in February if I can’t get out to Okeechobee to shoot (1.25hr drive). I’m going to look into a club membership this coming year and see if it’ll be worth it for me.
