Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. I really like the CompTac International too. If you aren’t running a light the Bladetech Signature is probably gonna be a cheaper way to go. I think they are on sale this weekend for $36.
  2. I just started using a 5” Prodigy and really like it. Original plan was to use it at work, but then I retired . I haven’t used it for any matches yet, and only have around 700rds through it, but so far it’s been GTG. I am running a SRO, and using 3.3grs of Sport Pistol under a 147 BB I am getting a 133 PF average. Only change I made was replacing the recoil spring with a DPM kit as it felt undersprung to me. It shoots really flat and stays on target, even with my meager shooting skills.
  3. I believe I shot with Carter Jones at IPA pistol shoots at Pontiac in the 90s and early 2000s. You are right he was the nicest person I have ever met. I also bought bullets from him in the 80s I think his company was called Bull-X. High quality cast lead. RIP Carter.
  4. When I had my RPRR, due to the recommendation of a fellow NRL competitor, I replaced the barrel with a Shaw prefit. I was a little hesitant, but he was right the Shaw tightened the groups and eliminated the flyers. At that time there were only a couple prefits available for them though. And I used a Timney 2 stage trigger which was really nice. I shot the rifle like that for several years in NRL22 matches and Outlaw field matches. When I bought my Vudoo I was gonna keep the Ruger for my grandson to shoot, but a buddy wanted to get into NRL with his son so I sold it. He still has it and competes with it.
  5. I too started with a Ruger RPR rimfire. I competed in NRL22 and Outlaw 22 matches for about a year. The Ruger shot well, but would throw occasional flyers. I upgraded the barrel, and the flyers were gone. Then upgraded the trigger, added some weight, an Arca rail, etc. I was able to finish top 3 pretty consistently, but began to feel the rifle was holding me back. I fell into a deal on a Vudoo, and set it up to match my PRS rifle. The rifle is no longer limiting, my skill however sometimes is Sorry for the rambling reply. The 22LR competitions are a blast, and you can compete on whatever level you want. You can go to have fun, you can go to win your class, or you can go to win overall. What you can’t do is buy ability. Decide what your goal is, decide what your budget is, and then practice a lot. As with most skills IMHO there aren’t really any shortcuts.
  6. IMHO, You are never going to be happy with the accuracy unless you use better ammunition. Cheap bulk 22 ammo is a recipe for frustration. My buddy has a B14R and with SK Standard + he can stack them into one hole at 50yds.
  7. These were 22 rds shot in a 4” M66, 38 Sp cases, Aguila primers, Blue Bullets 158gr coated LSW: 3.2gr Titegroup 759 Hi 699 Low 737 Avg 60 ES 16 SD 116 PF
  8. As long as it fits properly on the handgun, then yes I am confident in the velocities I get with it. In fact I have checked the velocities between the different chronos and they were well within the margin of error.
  9. I got the following with my 627, 160 BB round nose, Starline Short Colt brass, 1.2 OAL, and Aguila primers: 3.0gr Titegroup 789fps Avg 126 PF 3.2gr Titegroup 839fps Avg 134 PF
  10. I have used for years a Pro Chrono Digital, a Magneto Speed Sporter, and a V3. All have their pros and cons. I have the adapter for the V3 for my G34, and both on barrel and off barrel mount for the V3. I use the Pro Chrono for my shorter barrel revolvers the Magneto Speed won’t attach to. The optical chronos can be finicky with lighting conditions and the position of the sun relative to the sensors. But they also work with firearms the Magneto Speed won’t. If you have any specific questions I would be happy to answer them if I can.
  11. Wasn’t the old Atlanta Arms Team Glock load a 147 Zero bullet with 4.0grs of WSF loaded at 1.10 OAL? 3.5-3.6grs of Sport Pistol works well also.
  12. I run a 6 Creedmoor using 115gr DTAC at 3000fps. I just pulled my barrel at the end of season at 1500rds. It was still shooting less than 1 moa, (up from 1/3 moa) but I have a big match coming up and didn’t want to chance it. Running factory ammo (105 @ 2900) you should be able to get more life. Run the ammo hot or scorch the barrel and you will get less.
  13. I load the 135 TC Blue Bullets to 1.120 OAL with 3.2gr of Titegroup. Out of my Glock 34 they average 128 PF.
