URSA NorCal Match This Sunday

[LynnJr]

Shooters
We will be holding a 2000 yard+ match on Father's Day this Sunday.
The match will be held at the same location but we will start shooting at 7 AM for practice and qualifying and will try and go hot on record target by 7:45 AM.
That means just drive up the mountain and if you need directions e-mail me before Sunday.
We will not be meeting at the Chevron for this match.
We are trying to get this one underway early so those that need to can get home early for the holiday.

Lynn,
What is your email? I'd like some directions to this event. Not sure if I can make it, but if I can last minute, directions would be appreciated.

[LynnJr]

I will pm you the directions.

[Spyder]

Pm me too. I've got this one on the schedule.

[killemall419]

Lynn,
That would be awesome, thank you. This would be amazing just to watch, let alone try to shoot.

[Spyder]

Damnitt! I just picked up a shift that day, so won't be attending...again... You people and your M-F schedules...

Hey Lynn-

Had anybody shooting a 28 Nosler @ any of your events?

Hey Champ your buddy George Tompkins has one iirc.
He did some of the testing for the 6.5-300 Weatherby as well.
If you need his number let me know.
Nobody has brought one to a match so far but the Poster who goes by Skkeeter sent my 7 RUM home today with WhiteMamba.
I think the water capacity is the same as a 7-300 Weatherby at around 109 grains so George can give you the velocity numbers.

I already pm'ed you where we shoot. If you get to the crossroad where the motorcycles cross deer valley your about 1/2 mile past where we shoot but you are where we shoot 2500 yards.

We're going to have to start a 7mm conspiracy next. I test fired the 7/338 earlier this week. It's at 108 grains H2O capacity.

Not going to make this event.

[LynnJr]

The case capacity of the 28 Nosler is right at 94 grains so it is less than a 7-300 Weatherby Improved.

Unfortunately I won't be attending. Mamba is keeping buried in work, Cerakote booth to set up, New lathe installation, New heating and cooling system, and sub panel to put in at the shop. When am I supposed to have time to reload?? Have fun guys.

7mm and 30 cal conspiracies... Recall that URSA starts at 2000. When we get some competitions going at 2500 and 3000 what are the winners going to be shooting?

Not sure, for now I'm interested in how far I can take a standard hunting action. I tested a fast twist 300wm with the 198 Flat Lines a couple matches ago and it had less drop than the 50 that was there shooting 800 grain solids at 2900 fps. More wind, but the hit percentage estimated by the WEZ worked out to be about the same.

The 7/338 will be more of that approach, but far more likely to transition and cheaper to run. I'm watching the 338 Lapua/Lapua Improved guys with the Flat Line 255s with great interest as well. A year into this, we've achieved parity several different ways with the 50bmg using readily sourced parts. For this particular game anyway. These matches usually aren't won by the best ballistics.

One of the bits of Lynn wisdom that sticks in my mind is the first step to winning is showing up. The logistics for your ammo and gear matter if you want to shoot regularly. If you don't shoot regularly, this game is going to be very difficult to be competitive at. What's on order matters even less than what's at home in your safe and none of it counts for anything if you're not shooting that day.

I think that you're going to need the 7/30/338 guys to give you enough shooters with 4 hits at 2k to move a match to 2.5k. Given the size of your target, I don't see 2 shooters moving to 3K anytime soon.

I'm hoping this years KO2M will provide the answer to your question or at least some more insight.
