    Berrys plated bullets

    in Open Pistols

    Posted

    I have heard that berrys is making a new bullet with a thicker plating for use in open guns. I would take the bullets you have and either sell, trade, or load them for use in a production or gun other than an open gun.

    this is true, just recieved my HBTP 124g 9mm. HBTP = hollow base thick plate.

    I have yet to load any.

    I recieved about 200 from berry's for testing. I haven't had any issues yet but I've only run about 100 of them with working up the load to major. I'll probably stick with my 124JHP's for matches

    Must be something in the American climate, because plated bullets are being used a lot in Europe in open guns (due to cost).

    I've been using 124gr Frontier and Berry's in my open gun without problems.

    Eric Grauffel uses 147gr Frontiers for training in his open gun.

    dont forget the min pf for ipsc vs uspsa. And the fact that most open shooters in the us try to stay between 170-175. When I borrowed a gun in Sweden for an IPSC match the loads were only a 161.78 pf and mine at home are a 171. Which would be about a 1298fps for the 161's and a 1379 for my 171.

    2012 ss nats slot

    in USPSA Nationals

    Posted

    I was hoping someone here might have an extra slot for SS nats. I was unable to get one from my local club because they only recieved one but I would really like to go to the SS nats for the first time with my father (he has one).

    thanks,

    Looks great and maybe some day I could get it but as a college student building a 3gun rig I dont think I can do that... well maybe if I skip the rifle part but that would deffeat the purpose... What other options should I look into? I'll be shooting tac ops... :cheers: thanks and great review!

    You're more than welcome to lay down behind either rifle and send some rounds down range if you want to check them out.

    I might take you up on that sometime when we thaw out :cheers:

    I plan to shoot up to around 800yds
    Well, I've seen people shooting 1/2 MOA at 600yds with a fairly stock Rem 700 5R and a bit under 1 MOA at 800yds. Are you looking for more precision than that?

    well I want to get the best rifle I can so I know If I'm not winning it's me. I have solidified my decision on the 6.5 Creedmoor. It's easy to get factory match ammo and I got to shoot one last winter out in AZ and loved that i could easily put 3 shots in a hole just over the size of one round! I won't be using a 700 action, I'll probably go with a BAT Machine, Stiller Precision, or Surgeon.

    I dont want to start a debate but I'm really new to long range and would like to hear what other's out there are using. I will most likely go with 6.5 Creedmoor or 6mm BR-DX. 6.5 Creedmoor is more available (THANK YOU Hornady) but I've heard alot of good about the 6BR-DX too. As far a stocks I like these http://www.precisionriflesales.com/riflestocks.htm I'll get the F-class, C-4, or F-T/R model. I'll take whistlepig's advice and go with a Kreiger barrel. I'd like to know what actions have preformed best I'm leaning towards one of these BAT, BARNARD "P", Borden, Farley BlackWidow, STILLER PRECISION, or STOLLE by Kelbly "Panda".

    I have always shot factory rifles (Savage's for the most part and 2 AR15's) BUT now I plan to build or have built an actual custom rifle. I'm debating between 6mm NORMA BR(Competition/Target/Varmints), 338Lapua Mag(Why not? :devil: ), .257 Weatherby Magnum (Varmints/Target/maybe comp), or some other varient of the 6BR family or maybe someone out there has a suggestion too. :)

    Also I believe I'm limited to a Rem 700 as far as actions so being the noob I am I would greatly appriciate your help and advice finding the parts I need. I have a basic list of my questions

    *WHAT CALIBER?!?!?!

    *Who makes superb match barrels?

    *Where can I get a stripped action

    *what stock? I'd like something like this http://www.mcreesprecision.net/ftr_pr_t.htm or http://www.6mmbr.com/catalog/item/1334860/1106772.htm or http://rifle-stocks.com/tactical_thumbhole.htm or http://www.competitionshootingstuff.com/ or this if i go 6mm http://www.competitionshootingstuff.com/id10.html

    *Who makes bolts with firing pins?

    *I want a super light trigger (1-2lbs) and I would prefer a safety

    *What type of bedding? Glass or Aluminum bedding block?

    *What other small parts and pieces?

    No Creedmoor or Grendel I've considered those and will eventually get the PT rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor

    Thanks In advance! :cheers::cheers::cheers:

    ETA should I maybe look into other actions like these http://www.6mmbr.com/actions.html and find one with a 700 footprint or the Savage?

    SO MANY QUESTIONS :wacko:

    And besides... accessories aside... how much function do the Limcat cuts add? So if it is good enough for the makes, it's got to be fine for the user.

    HAHA i gues you could say they're better for racking but ya mostly its too look cool XD

    I thought the same thing but it doesnt seem to effect my right to left transitions at all. My near sighted/astigmatism afflicted blind mullet eyeballs are the problem :roflol:

    once you use the mount for a short time you dont notice it anymore. You just have to get used to it.

    I have been shooting Open for a year and a month :D I went from an upright to a side mount on both guns and ,along with training/practice, moved up to B class and soon to A. I had thee chance to try a gun with a thumb rest and a slide racker... I didn't like the racker because I feel I load faster without one and the thumb rest just doesnt give me the right grip

    Which range bag is better POLL

    I've tried everything CED offers (sold them) won a small/medium one from bagmaster at A5 and i love it as an ammobag but so far I've had the best luck keeping my SC pro tournement bag organized :cheers: both are well made and i love both

    ETA- uh well most of what ced has still love the SC bag
