2nd annual swaged bullet postal shoot! Everyone welocme!

[nhrifle]

Brian, I have a bag of bullets I can donate for shooters in need of some for the shoot. Should I send them to you or directly to the shooter?

BTW, I am having a ball with your dies! Lots of stuff to experiment with which is great during the cold months.

[BT Sniper]

We have another substantial prize donation! I will add this one to the "drawing." First winner of drawing gets choice between my die set (or store credit) and this new prize. Second winner of the drawing will get whichever one is left.

Our local vendor sponsor "BetterNutZ" of CompeteCast inc. has offered one of his very cool looking digital lead pot temperature controllers. This is a $185 value! Wish I was eligible for this one.

Check it out!

Thanks for the answer, I dont have a rifle to shoot a 22 caliber swedge boolit.
Al I have is 10/22s, looks like I need a new rifle. LOL
OH wait, any body have any thing for a 7mm or 7.62 (.308)?

[BT Sniper]

I've heard of swagers taking the 22mag case all the up to 7mm for jackets but don't know if anyone has any to offer?

Nice PID. I have one just like it and love it. Keeps lead within a couple degrees. Nice prize. An extra temp probe works great for cookin' turkeys.

[Cag40Navy]

I would be interested in getting in on this... How long do we have to post targets and is it possible to get a small lot of bullets? Am I to late?

[BT Sniper]

No one is "too late" not till April 1st anyway. The deadline for participating in this shoot is March 31st.

Yes we have a couple members here (myself included) that are able to provide shooters with one pack of 50 of these bullets made from 22lr brass (projectiles not loaded rounds).

For anyone that wishes to participate simply state your request with a reply in this thread of "I'm in" or similar and that you require some bullets. Do also review the first three posts of this thread for all the details.

I'll sign you up and get you on the list to receive some bullets.

Im in then. But ill need some homemade bullets....

[JonB_in_Glencoe]

Actually went out and shot today. Trying to find a good load. 100 yrd shooting spot was occupied so I moved to my 200 yrds spot.

well.... I got some good practice in today Need more practice. I was able to put 4 out of 5 under 1 moa with most groups. I'll keep working on it.

Good shooting!

BT

p.s. Jon, I added you to the list. Do you need some bullets?

I don't need any 22 projectiles.
besides the leftovers (about 50) I received from you last year, I did a trade with "MUSTANG", My 32acp brass for some his 60 gr Home swaged 22's
I'm actually looking forward to see what my CZ will do with a 60gr. Jword.

BUT, I will add...
If someone swages any 243,
I'd love to try some of those, around 90gr.
I have a heavy Custom Mauser Benchrest gun...which has a long leade, so I need a heavy bullet...it's a tack driver with most commercial jwords.

Nice. Now I might have another good run for the goal.

If I were set up right now to do 6mm bullets, I would hook you up. Sadly, I'm not.

[Randy C]

I will let you know if I have time to play later. I will have to see if I have enough brass to make some 6mm I need about 95gr for my gun. I have not taken the time to learn my press and dies like I should. I enjoy seeing everybody's progress.

[Randy C]

JohB in Glencoe
I have not had time to get good at making 6mm bullets with my dies if I get the time I will let you know there are several others here that use 6mm dies they have helped me out more than once.

Spent the last three days behind the press and out at the range. I got to admit this postal shoot has gotten me out of the house and having fun shooting when I would typically be inside.

Here are a couple targets to give you guys and idea of how we are scoring the shoot this year.

Of course as I have mentioned we are scoring targets for both "group" size and "score."

Here is a look at the standard target. I added the numbers to give you all an idea for the "score"




here is a target I shot that has a fairly good score yet "challenged" group size. Total score for both targets was 90 points with 1X and total group size for both targets was 3.100"



and here is a target with great total group size yet challenged total score. Total group size was 1.499" while total score was 74.




Here is another target with a pretty good score yet 2 "fliers" in each target opened the group size up A LOT! Score was 86 5X with a less then stellar 4.791 group size

[buggybuilder1]

I am in, if anyone is making 243's and is willing to donate. I just started making .223 admittedly I have a lot of work todo but I will put them out there and see if I can group at all. Looking forward to the comradery of this forum, thanks for the opertunaty.

[SquirrelHollow]

Just figured I'd chime in...
I'm interested, and will try to get some bullets on paper. I just haven't committed, since I still haven't shot BT's 6mm projectiles from LAST year's shoot.
...and my availability now is worse than it was then.

Just to give you an idea of where I'm at...
In 2013, I cast 0 bullets, swaged 0 bullets, loaded 0 centerfire cartridges (after the failed trip to shoot the 6mms), only took rimfires on the 3 opportunities I had to shoot, and had to dig my dies out of a box and go to a relative's house to load up 8 .444-410 shotshells (and I cut up factory .410 shotshells to do it ).


When I do get a chance to shoot, I'll probably also have an "illegal" .44 caliber submission ... for the fun of it.

BT, do we send the official target to you for scoring and posting? I shot today for the first time in a while, the wind was down a bit. Not a very good target but it will be an entry.

Hey run my target just for ****s a giggles to see how it scored!

Now I am just jealous you got the word **** posted without looking like ****.
If mine shows up it must be a glich in the new server...SSSHHHHH don't say anything.
Also would like to see your target, I will shoot one soon I hope.

[newcastter]

Didn't work for me although I am heavily watched....or it could be the S on the end.

[tbird1960]

Count me in.
