Just got my third or fourth 'Fouling Shot'. What caught my eye was the postal matches, especially the military rifle in different sight configurations. After looking at the groups and scores, I thought, "I can do that." Last Saturday I shot a first string winning small group of about two and half inches (10 rounds, 100 yards) with an 'as issued' Rem 03A3, and of course, real boolits. I think my aggreagate score was around 287-7X, high single was [I think] 97-3X. I've also got a RI 03 with Ly target sights front and rear in a sporter stock that I think can do even 'mo betta' dan dat.The other thing I noticed was how many competitors were using the 314299 and 311284. And then I read the [reprint] article by Frank Marshall about --- get this ---filling the throat and keeping the speed down. Hmmmmm, stuff we've been talking about amonst ourselves for how long???Methinks I willrevisit some things I did years ago just for grins. Last night I checked some fired cases from the Rem 03A3 (Rem 2-groove), the RI (a really nice HS bbl), and a NO (03A3) scoped sporter (Rem 2-groove). With the cooler wx and getting dark ealier I will have a little time to load some small batches of test stuff. First up will be decap and NO sizing and load with 314299 (which has worked well for me before - I have some notes using of all things 4064) long enough to load into the lands. Enough 4227 to run it at something around 1500. Y'all premember Felix's comment about velocities in multiples of 300? Well, there may be nothing to it, but it is places to adjust from. Thinking back over the years, many of my best loads are just that way. Like I said, 'jest fer grins.'So, back to what got this thread started. How many y'all participate in any of these CBA postal matches? sundog
