Nevada Cast Boolit Shoot - MAY 29-30-31, 2009

**BruceB** · 05-16-2009, 04:41 PM

"Can somebody give some more info on the match in Winnamuca. "

It's not really a "match".

Past experience has shown VERY clearly that this is really more a social occasion than a competition. Although we do shoot some informal events, the whole scene is much more a friendly family re-union than anything else, with good conversation and plenty of great grub.

The events we shoot involve rifles for score and group, with both irons and scopes in separate divisions. There's also a long-range rifle event, fired STANDING with iron sights. This year we should be able to shoot this at 400 yards, hit-or-miss on a steel target.

Handguns are also fired for group and score. There are "team" shoots with rifle and handgun as well, with the team members drawn from a hat and shooting fast-and-furious against the clock.

ALL the "rools" are set at the Rools Kommittee meeting at the Friday-night dinner. EVERYBODY is a member of the Kommittee. Saturday evening we'll have an informal dinner, usually a barbecue or whatever at my place. Sunday's closing banquet is traditionally held at Ormachea's Dinner House, an excellent Basque-style restaurant.

This will be the TENTH annual NCBS, and nine of them have been here in Winnemucca. Come along and have a good time.

BruceB,

Where are we meeting on Friday nite for the rools (rhymes with fools) committee meeting? Them that are new will need to know where to meet up. If I might, I cast a vote for the flying pig, Las Margaurita's is good too.

NVWalt,

was just at McGill wed - fri but didn't see your post till today. Don't know that I will make the trip again before the shoot, but thanks for the offer. Sorry you and Jane won't make it.

**NVWalt** · 05-17-2009, 07:02 PM

Bruce,
I was there in McGill Thursday and Friday. Too bad I didn't spot you. Actually I guess I wouldn't have seeing as I was stuck at the New Ruth Club playing darts. Oh well, Jane and I will do our dang best to make it next year anyways. Good shooting to any and all that make it to this great event...Walt

**9.3X62AL** · 05-18-2009, 01:34 AM

NV Walt--sure sorry to hear y'all won't be able to make it this year. Medical crapola sucks canal water.

Mike in CO--I would be interested in the bolt milsurp tourney you propose. That's all cast boolits, I assume? I won't promise to be competitive, but I will promise to be enthusiastic. Gotta assemble some 8 x 57 for the G98/40, it appears! HIJO LA!

**mike in co** · 05-18-2009, 04:48 PM

**mike in co** · 05-18-2009, 04:50 PM

inquring minds want to know

".......how much shooting are we gonna do past 100 yds ?? at how big of targets ?"

The "long range" area is separate and apart from the 100-yard range, but VERY close-by. It extends to 400 yards, and there are gongs every 100 yards, all the way out. The only long-range PLANNED event is the one off-hand match which is already on the menu. This is shot standing with iron sights at a steel target...hits or misses as determined by the (many) witnesses/judges.

Usually, we fire five rounds and those tied after five rounds continue in sudden-death fashion until a winner is determined. Target size is decided by what we have available at the time. I think last year's plate was about 14"x18", and I still have it.

I'd rather not plug up this public range completely, so shooting long range may mean taking turns with the public. Still, there should be plenty of opportunity to shoot the longer distances. Our group will pretty well take over the 100-yard facility.

There are two excellent benchrests at the 400-yard range, and four more at the 100. There's also room to add tables to each firing line.

The military bolt-action shoot is a great idea.

**BruceB** · 05-18-2009, 08:01 PM

Rools Kommittee will meet at Las Margaritas at 7:30 pm.

This is a Mexican-style restaurant right on Winnemucca Boulevard, about 100 yards from the Convention Center. Not hard to find!

**mike in co** · 05-19-2009, 12:51 AM

just sold another sks tonight...now have cash in pocket for trip...still working on loading....

mike in co

**9.3X62AL** · 05-19-2009, 01:44 AM

Yep, me too, Mike. Casting and loading will take up a good portion of the spare time between now and NCBS. As usual, I messed around doing other things (fishing, playing with the boat, helping the kids with stuff) and now have a few deadlines on the near horizon.

A 1911? Very nice. I behaved with maturity a few days back, and balked at a 70-Series steel Colt Commander in 45 ACP. Price was good, but until Marie signs a contract someplace I'm not buying any toys. (expletives deleted) State budget mess........

**MT Gianni** · 05-20-2009, 08:58 AM

I am busy reloading also and trying to get more from Idabull's 31141 4 cavity mold.
Bill, I would be glad to shoot your 91 Argentine.

**ammohead** · 05-20-2009, 10:39 AM

Loading and casting like mad also, and running out of time. I go to work next tuesday!!! After being unemployed for 3 months I am now spoiled for choice. I got the job for recommissioning the hvac controls at the state prison in Lovelock with the controls contractor on a temp/one job basis. Then yesterday I got a call from the state on a application for a heat specialist position at the Lovelock prison and he wants to interview me Wed. 2 job offers from 2 different parties at the same job location. This should be interesting. I think I'll take the state job if the offer is there. Otherwise I already have the other job starting Tues.

Mike, I will see what I can come up with to feed a springfield I have hanging around.

Hello BruceB @ family:
Glad your feeling great. I have a few problems but considering I'm 78 probably shoudn't
mention it. Old age is rough on the body.
I just got back from New Jersey. I brought my son mos.t of my guns and reloading equipment. I couldn't bring my 5th wheel as I had the bed to full.
I won't be there again this year. With you running it I'm am sure it will be another successful shoot. Congratulations on your tenth year to be. Take care. ben1025 AKA ben

**ben1025** · 05-21-2009, 10:17 AM

Should have followed ben with a period as there is a ben on this forum.

JOhn, would the 31141 work in my 303 SMLE? I slugged it at 312 or so. I am also bringing the 8mm Mauser to the shoot with us. Joe

**BruceB** · 05-25-2009, 10:59 AM

Just a few more days before the Shoot!

Weather forecast is looking good, partly cloudy for both Saturday and Sunday with peak temps in the high 80s.

Lets plan on a lunch meeting at The Griddle at 1:00 pm Friday for early arrivals. We can then take care of a few minor chores and maybe visit the new range.

Remember that the Friday-night Rools Kommittee dinner will be held at Las Margaritas at 7:30 pm. We will meet in the back room of the restaurant. This is also a getting-to-know-you social occasion, and an opportunity to renew old friendships for those who've been to previous iterations of the NCBS.

In great anticipation.....

**ammohead** · 05-25-2009, 07:36 PM

BruceB, Looks like I will be working friday so the griddle is out, but look for me at Las Margauritas with bells on! Daniel left for the air force today and I start my new job tomorrow. Lot's of changes going on...all good.

**Urny** · 05-27-2009, 09:14 AM

LINDA and I will again be providing lunch on Saturday. There will be a seven layer salad, a couple of types of bread, and probably a spiral sliced ham. Everyone is invited, and leftovers, if any, will feed us Sunday.

Unfortunately, we will not be there until Saturday morning, have to make a living, and will miss Rools and Friday lunch. I'll try to go through this thread and come up with some sort of count. See you all there.

**mike in co** · 05-27-2009, 06:18 PM
