I have two of these barrels and they will both shoot 55's sub moa, and you can't beat the price.

Make sure you didn't grab the small rifle primers by accident.
I have.

DMW, or Nordic. I have had some difficulty with the plastic (choate style) followers. They get chewed up and then bind in the tube. The All metal followers from DMW are the the way to go.

Have your scoring/stats system well rehearsed and efficient. Have a back up computer or three. No reason in this day and age to not have the match scored an hour after the last stage is shot. Don't change the scoring system in the middle of the match or screw up the scores. You can run a cheesy match and people will come back but if you screw up the scores you have committed the unpardonable sin.
Keep the RO’ing consistent from stage to stage. Don’t make the stages overly complex. Don't put a 200 pound dummy on the stage that has to be moved from point A to point B, its too hard on the Juniors, Ladies, and Seniors. Keep water on the stages in hot weather. Try to have a vendor with food at the match. Be prepared for inclement weather.
Make it a real 3Gun match, multiple guns on multiple stages!

Gesh, I had no idea.
Missed him at the Handgunner this year. He was a awesome individual, so humble, kind and gentle. A perfect example for the rest of us.
Truly, he was one of the best revolver steel shooters in the world.
God belss him and his family.

Good range
Good stages
Good staff
Good ROs
Good times
But I am still steamed about the stats problems.
100% of the fault lays on my shoulders for not checking up on them after being told that the problem was corrected, but 9 of my 12 stages are wrong in EZWinScore. Crap!

Chet, if its any consolation your scores weren't the only ones messed up. Some of the minor rifle shooters (.223) were scored as major, giving them tremendously more match points. A simple check of the chrono results would easily show this! Isn’t that why we chrono?
My experience is that you can put on a crappy match and still keep people happy, but if you screw up the scoring it seems to be an unpardonable sin. That’s why time-plus scoring is far superior to USPSA multi-gun scoring.
Scoring aside, I thought it was a great match! The stages were fun and challenging, the R.O.'s were consistent and friendly. Even the Long Range was a hoot to shoot. It really separated the shooters who can call their long range shots and those who can't. Stage 12, "Stepping over Hurdles" was an excellent CQB stage. Stage 3, "I like Floppers" was exceptionally challenging to see how many slug targets you could take after hitting the activator, and before the floppers closed. Great stage!
Many thanks to all those that put this match together.

Can you share what method you used to quit? Thanks!

You might try sinstrialrifleman (Russell) he is usually up to date on the Federal Laws.

I could not get the 68 gr. Hornady BTHP to group either, using Varget and CCI's. However, the 75 gr. Hornady BTHP with 23.8 gr. Varget grouped 1/2" @100. It could have been me or my gun, but I gave up on the 68's.

I have two points of interest for all of those attending RM3G this year!
2. I will be back this year running both a Machinegun sidematch (cash payback) and general Machinegun rental for those of you who want to come and play. I will have the Hummer with the PKM mounted in the back. I am planning on bringing; MP5, AK-47, AKS-74U, AUG, G-36, M-16, M-4, HK-51, Thompson M1A1, Glock 18c, Uzi, M-14, PKM, M60E3, M240B, M249, MG-42. I was only planning on bring these, but it you want something special I don't have on the list drop me a note and I'll bring it.
thanks and see everyone there,
alan
Awesome!

I'll be there as well, shooting the Winchester on Sunday.

When analyzing video of myself shooting on the move. I had my feet spread too far apart to move fast enough, and from that wide foot stance it is hard to gain burst speed to zip to the next target array.
Consequently, I have focused on moving with my feet closer together and body slightly higher.
I've noticed some super fast shooters and it seems that their body is always on "top" of their feet.

1. Try some factory ammo.
2. if it doesn't run, call Bob.

They are awesome. Last year, the week before the American Handgunner and Winchester World Challenge. I broke a guide rod and blew a extractor.
I phoned Brazos and had the parts to me in 3 days. The tuned extractor fit and run perfectly.

LadyinBlue, STI is real good about warrany if the mag is defective. Don't suffer with it, call them and they will most likely replace it.

WOW! Thanks for posting that Reneet. Great read.

has anyone had a POIC, when the barrel heats up with an AR??? I've heard of it with regular rifles, but not with floated AR's. impact changes aprox. 8" at 300yds.
Yes, when you really heat up an AR it will start shooting high. At the IRONMAN in 05 there was a course that really heated up the guns. To finish the rifle portion you had to engage the tiny poppers on sniper bases at approx. 100 yards. Everyones gun that I recall was shooting about 18" high. Two of these were 20" heavy barrel guns with free float tubes and TA-11's.

We are having our first 3Gun match and all of us have four thumbs when it comes to computers. We want to use the IMGA type scoring where the top shooter on a stage gets 100 match points and everyone else get a percentage accordingly.
Assuming excel the the preferred format?
Thank you.

DMW (Dave's metal works) makes the nicest metal follower I've seen.
The metal followers are far superior to plastic in my experience.

Last month the hot deal was box mag shotguns in limited, now we are back to mag capacity or mandatory reloads in limited or tac rifles. The rules are what they are and they are not a problem. Just shoot.---------Larry
Larry hit the nail on the head.
Amen
