Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. I'd suggest you look at a CZ 455 or 457...I have not owned a 457 but have owned 2 455s and both shot great with wolf ammo...The CZ AT-ONE is pretty nice and in the same price range as the B22 I think plus more after market support for the CZ's...Buds gun shop and gun broker both have the 455 and 457s....this is a pretty good deal here..... https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1018632315 If you have the money just order a Vudoo set up how you want and be done or a barreled action and put it in what ever chassis or stock you prefer.
  2. I used/owned both the SAC and the hornady when I was reloading...they both do the same thing but the SAC are just way nicer....worth the money? IMHO yes but I prefer better tools no matter what job I'm doing.
  3. Are you looking to buy or do you have the skills/means to build your own?
  4. When you say forget about making the comp work do you mean that 9 minor loads will not produce enough gas to really make a comp work?
  5. Is anyone using or have used ammo from Super Vel? Good Bad? Particularly interested in their 147g Competition ammo. Thanks Dave
  6. And ppl are just getting worse from what I've seen lately...
  7. I am in a very similar situation as the OP...i shot rifle matches for about 17-18yrs and was deep into it and loved it. Had some personal things come up and had to sell all my gear...I mean everything reloading equipment, rifles all of it and was out for a little over 2yrs and the entire time could not wait to get back into it. Well about 6mos ago I was back in a position to get back to shooting, I bought a new rifle and scope and replaced a lot of my gear minus reloading. I stocked up on match ammo and in that time I've shot 1 match which was about 80 rounds and at this point i have 236 rounds through this new rifle...before I use to shoot out 2-3 barrels a year so some where around 6-7000 rounds. I have just come to realize that I've just lost interest in shooting rifle and have developed a new fire for pistol and my point to the OP @xd1977 is maybe you should try some rifle matches, F-class, Benchrest, ELR are just a few...Mini palma with 22lr is becoming a thing and is fun. Someone mentioned ppl not helping at matches?, Well that's a big problem everywhere and in most every discipline, we started handing out awards after everything was picked and put away but the problem still remained with set up. so then the MD started keeping track of who was helping and who was not and made it mandatory that everyone help at least 2 matches a month and rotate ppl. A lot of ppl just do not understand the work that goes into running matches, set up, tear down, target maintenance, writing up stages, dealing with the range where the events are held and schedules ECT....lotta behind the scene work that goes into this.
  8. I see 9mm ammo from about 16.4c a round and up on ammo seek before shipping...I buy a lot of ammo from freedom and lax and with shipping it comes out to about 31c a round depending on the bullet weight and profile. I may get back into reloading at some point if the prices of equipment comes down a bit.
  9. Thanks...and my first steel match is 4-9 I'm pretty excited to get into something new plus I know several of the guys shooting on that side of the range and looking forward to meet the folks i don't know. I'm going out the 2nd weather permitting and watch a production match, I'm not going to shoot I just want to see/get a feel how everything works and introduce myself to the club. I think I've seen you over on NS? I'm longrange over there.
  10. Thanks for having me! Just getting into pistol comps this year and pretty excited. I've shot a lot of rifle comps over the years, F-class, tactical, PRS, NRL mostly local and have kind of lost interest. I've shot a lot of pistol just never competitively, I'm going to start with steel challenge and production to get a taste but am already looking at moving into limited and limited optics seems to be the next big thing I'm told, any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks Dave. LR1845 on the hide.
