Cast Boolits Postal Match
I talked to Ric about offering some bullet lube prizes for each of the Postal Matches. http://www.lsstuff.com/lube
For 1st place, I’ll send 8 sticks of lube. 4 of my High Speed Carnauba Red Lube and 4 of my Alox lube.
For last place, I’ll send 1 stick of each.
Ric will supply me with the winners mailing address after targets have been scored.
Below is Ric’s list of upcoming matches shortened up somewhat so you can print it off and hang next to your computer.
Cast Boolits Postal Match
You don't pay no stinkin' money, but you still takes your chances. This is a fun shoot, and your honesty is accepted as a given. Remember, bribes will be cheerfully accepted, as in the past. All excuses gleefully ignored, ridiculed, guffawed, and snickered at.
10 Shot Groups
Military surplus rifles, original configuration, as issued. Fifty yards off hand, and fifty yards bench. Ten shots each. Ends February 1.
lever action. This will be fired at 50 yards, OFFHAND, ten shot group. Ends February 15.
Sporterized milsurps, 100 yards, benchrest. Ends March 1.
Scoped and aperture sight rifles, .30 and over, 50 yards offhand.
Ends March 15.
Sub-.30 cal, 100 yards bench. Ends March 15.
Factory rifle, iron sights, fifty yard offhand. Ends March 30.
BPCR, 100 yards, X sticks. Ends April 1.
Any iron sight pistol, 25 yards offhand. Ends April 15.
Any scoped pistol, 100 yards bench. Ends May 1.
Use whatever target you prefer, as this will be measured center to center, so the guys with fat bullets won't have an advantage on any match we shoot.
All matches can be shot with as many targets as you wish, and submit your best.
All entries must have information on firearm, sights, bullet, powder charge, lube, chrony info, if you have it. This helps us all build a data base for loads.
Oh, did I mention, CAST BULLETS ONLY in all matches!
If you wish to shoot more than one match in the given period, or if you want to shoot them all at once, you can submit targets for more than one match at a time. The dates are just cut-offs, so I can herd the scores together in a hopefully timely manner.
Overseas entrants, email me at waksupi@aboutmontana.net for scoring instructions. All others will only be accepted as postal entries, sent to
Ric Carter
305 Cramer Creek Road
Somers, Montana 59932
If the Canadian shooters want to have one person to send your targets to in-country, and then one person to forward the package to save postage, that's fine, or I may accept email entries from you.
If you have shooting friends that aren't members of this board, but still shoot cast, they are also welcome to submit targets.
I will not be posting this on other boards this year, as most cast bullet aficionados have made this their home, and should already know about it from this post.
I did consider just having you post your targets here, but was afraid we would burn up too much bandwidth. If I hear differently from Ken and Willie, this may go into effect. If I get a go-ahead, I will start a new topic for results posting.
All entrants wishing to receive some of Fatnhappy's cast bullet load data sheets, please enclose a stamped, self addressed envelope. These are a self adhesive tag that fits nicely in the top of your cartridge boxes.
I'm sure I've missed something, so if you have any questions, let 'em fly!
Good luck, good shooting, and be safe.
