Yes, heavy bullets go with 1x7. The need the faster twist rate to stabilize them in flight.

Who else is up for the road trip? Chad and I are venturing into hostile territory to maintin the honor of the South( although we are both at the top of the South) but none the less we are standing against sarcasm from a guy who is either the devil or really likes reciprocation. Who will join us? 1911fan, are you aut there? Anyone?

Hopefully he does not get a chance to reproduce.

One Shot works well.

Dude, that was Chad in drag.

That is where I shoot. I have a stadard 20 inch A2 rifle. The one I am building will be a 16 heavy barrel with 1x9 twist. If weight is not an issue go for the 24, it is not overkill. If you plan on going longer ranges , definately get the 24 for the added velocity.

That is my strategy, to distract you with laughter at my pethetacism and cause you to miss.

a 1x9 twist barrel will do 50 to 62 gr accurately. If you want long range target you need heavier bullets and should go with a 1x7 twist barrel. if you are staying on a bench go for the 24. But what do you consider long range? I get good accuracy with Fed 55gr out of a 1x9 twist at 200yds. When I think of long range it starts @ 500.

Ken, that was great

Oh well, it was worth a shot. The place has awsome food if anyone stops there. We walked in and there were a few workers speeking Greek, so I knew it would be a good place. Yeah Matt, I can't wait to wipe the floor with you When I am done you will wish you were a stain on bedsheets instead of being born. I really, really need to go practice now. :oops:

Dude you have way to much time on your hands, don't you have a wife?

I know, It's all about you Matt. I have a question, Sunday afternoon I stopped at the Spinning Wheel Diner on 22 near Round Valley. My waiter was a young kid who saw my ink and we started talking about The Corps shooting. He said he shoots skeet and wants to get into pistols. I was so tired I totally missed the boat about the forum. By any chance was it anyone here? Or do any of you North guys know who I am talking about. After seeing pictures he kind of resembles Matt, but you were shooting on Sunday.

I just saw Arlen Specter on the news, I had my own zombie show.

We can always count on you for humor Watch your toodles :shock:

we'll pick it up and whoever shoots better on the 13th wins it

I'll bring my best game and a few shotguns. I am going to have to get out and practice before though, with the exception of Pheasants, I have not shot them in 2 years. :cry:

So. will I be the only one doing headshots on the tv with a dart gun? :?

You mean there is more on the net than NJGF? I need to explore more.

Perception is reality.

I am starting the same project on one for my wife. The nice thing is I will spend the money on what I want the first time, not buy one whole and replace parts. I can customize the trigger, cyclic rate reducer, stock, etc and not have a ton of left over parts. I have enough parts, don't need any more.

Matt, Browning A5 from the other thread. sweet guns

It has been a while since I stopped in. I am going to have to make a trip up there.

I am still waiting on my paperwork from the NRA to come back. I was expecting it back but not yet. I still plan to give a class, but I am waiting for the certificate to make it legit. I am availible for any questions if you shoot me a PM or post. Thanks to everyone else who is posting videos, info and offers to help.There is a lot of experience on the board and it is all about helping out the next guy.

Matt, You have done one hell of a job puting together the Northern Coalition. I keep reading posts that credit your tenacity and commitment to arrange and execute shoots at CR. You and your crew are doing exactly what Maksim had envisioned when he put this site together. Like minded individuals getting together, forging friendships and helping fellow shooters. I can't wait to finally meet you and the rest of the guys and put faces to names. Tim

I didn't get home from work till almost 2030. Hope you guys had fun.
