    Looking for new barrel, .223 Wylde Light weight, 16 in

    in Rifle - Technical

    Posted

    I was able to zero,,, the new rig.. and shot some groups,,  I was not able to shoot it past 100,,

     

    Interesting and Frustrating.

     

    the 75's and 77's two inch group at 100yds

     

    the 55's cheap bulk,, that I use for short range........ one inch group at 100

     

    go figure..

     

    I hope to get to a long distance range next weekend ,, shoot 200,300,400,500 and see what I can hit..

     

    I guess those cheap 55's are back in the mix,,,

    Possible .308 extractor issue?

    But does it extract ok?

     

    I had a 308 that gave me Hell for too long. my re loads would fall in and out of the Gage. but would stick in the gun.

     

    Long story, short,, I ground down, the shell holder,, I just held it on a grinder wheel,   just a lil bit,, I didn't go nuts on it,, , now when I """""Small Base size"""" it also bumps the shoulder back a lil bit..

     

    308 ammo works better in all my guns now,,

    RESURGENCE TACTICAL 3-GUN 2016

    Some observations:

    ....and perhaps we can ponder whether some of these fall under (to use the current nonsensical jargon):
    Modern 3 Gun fail
    Dinosaur / SOF 3 Gun fail
    A move in 3 Gun away from the martial roots (and "fail" or not)

    In no particular order:

    THE VERY FIRST RADIO TRAFFIC OF THE MATCH was "a shooter's double belt pistol rig came off while running between positions. What do we do?" (luckily, it was a shotgun stage, but REALLY?!?!?! At RESURGENCE?!?!?!?!)

    Observing pistol standards which required a transition from an empty rifle aimed in to pistol for every string, I couldn't help but notice the trepidation, safe-area practice and adrenaline dumps. Are we just used to modern 3 gun stages for 3 guns? You know: shoot shotgun, abandon, shoot pistol, abandon, shoot rifle.... (key word: abandon)

    10+ 4-man teams ran the "Mogadishu Mile": 120 yds +/- together shooting targets, huffing, puffing AND MAINTAINING EXCELLENT FIREARMS SAFETY.

    All competitors HOT REHOLSTERED on a stage and I did not hear about any issues.

    My shotgun stage was a stroll downhill 80 yards searching for 12 hidden targets after shooting slugs at 4 pepper poppers @ 100 yards. At the briefing, mention was made of the cheiftain's daughter who was the object of the hunt. Competitors exibited the perfect bell curve in ability to search for unknown targets, from not-so-much to full-on hunt mode. Only ONE competitor ( a seasoned LE professional) admonished the daughter to "RUN AWAY" upon finding her; this in the middle of a fight with Boko Haram bad guys and it did not slow him and appeared to be entirely subliminal based on LE training.
    Fight/Train/Compete the way you Fight/Train/Compete?!?!?

    The lack of stage walk-throughs, coupled with the lack of stage briefings AT THE STAGE wreaked havoc on some; the detailed reading of the stage briefs and questions and written stage briefs the night before the match beginning seemed forgotten by some. IS MODERN 3 GUN ALL ABOUT THE ADD??? THE HALF DAY FORMAT (Not too long, now..)??? (or is this just part of a larger societal phenomenon???)

    Not knowing what to expect I showed up with Tools ready for the biggest job.

    308 A-max 155, .45 230 HP, 12 GA. With the mind set of. If the problem  can be solved with 3 Guns, I have the tools.

    After shooting the match. I’ll change up those tools a bit.

    Standards stages. Not thrilled, for my personal reason, if you’re at a place like Blue Steel ranch/ NRA Wittington, I want to shoot out in the open not shoot a stage I can shoot at any square range.

    I warmed up to the Standards, as I shot them OK. And it was a skill set test that it was meant to be.

    Real Blind stages!!!!! I like them, they are the only true test of “What IF” I know of, without getting shot at for real.  If that scares some competitors off. Oh well.  I like the challenge on all levels of the Blind stage. From what goes on in our head, to what equipment YOU decided to bring. Beep, Go make it happen!

    The other stages,,, not in the match,, I choose to shoot full auto from the razor, Hell YA,, can’t do that most places,, the other stages , meh,, fun to watch the guys who wanted to shoot them. Square range stuff I can do at any range. and a Nice break. to have fun and hang out.

    Getting done early, GREAT!! No back log, just show up re-read, the stage description and load and make ready.

    I shot First many times. No advantage not to. And I’m a ready to go kind of guy, its and Old Army thing.

     

    No walk through, no Stage HOG’s getting in your way when you’re walking the stage and they are two squads behind you. I like it, and from a match Director stand point a real time saver.  Are you here to shoot? Or Dance?

     

    I shoot 3 Gun to Shoot! And have fun.

    I Shot and had fun! I hope you have another and I hope I can get the time off from work!

    Adrenalin pumped, Humbling, Exciting, Frustrating. Unable to put into words what goes on in your head during a semi Blind/ Surprise stage.

    Waiting for the Shadow of Kurt Miller? You know what I'm saying!

    Eric Miller, Giving the match a life! That makes you laugh and makes your Soul happy to be a 3 Gunner.

    Having Denise politely call you a Maggot! JJ. I know he gets Joy, out of the Surprise stage. he has that lil JJ evil Grin! 

    Scott Hawkins and Wife. Running good stages. Who doesn't want a Special Forces CSM Yelling at you. "" Get back to the line and shoot that plate!!!!!!!!!!!""  I'm sure it was just me, Hmmmm Hmmmm.

    It has taken 30++ years, for the opportunity to shoot a SOF 3 Gun.  A personnel quest. All Joking aside.

    I can't thank JP enough for making  this happen. And My dream come true.

    I'll be looking for the next Resurgence 3 Gun (SOF).
