Hey there. No actually it's 343 44 5 985 1. Keep in mind that this ammo was tested ONLY at 50 meters - and not at 100. I picked it up at the Palmyra 6400 a couple weeks back. The Lapua rep set up a testing range. I only bought two bricks as I am currently up to speed with my ammo needs. I tested and...

In Addition

Benny is dead on, folks. First of all, I've seen a few entries here that seem to be comparing test runs of 'brands' of ammo rather than multiple lots of EACH brand of ammo. You can't just buy a willy-nilly smattering of various brands together, test them, and come to any true (brand) winner. If you ...

Ya know what? I have been out of focus lately. And you are all correct. I wasn't thinking or even remotely connecting the ruck with Airgun shooting.

I stand pleasantly (and awkwardly) corrected. Bp

Will someone PLEASE REMOVE THE BEEMAN COIN ENTRY??!!

What the heck? This stupid Beeman Truck Coin Bank thing is ANNOYING and has NOTHING TO DO WITH OLYMPIC SMALLBORE . I imagine that everyone else is ready for it to disappear as well - as NO ONE HAS REPLIED TO THE ENTRY since it was posted. Am I missing something here? Am I really? Seriously. Oh, by t...

As my memory serves - you won the iron sight day, but you got stomped overall. So SOMETHING about this range got you by the short hairs! Heh.

Glad to hear you are coming. Whew! That Blackhawk sounds like it must have been a nightmare. The trick to our range is keeping a VERY close eye on the mirage. We typically have an 11 to 1pm switch with an occasional sidestep to 3 o'clock. You MUST use the entire set of flags to keep them in the midd...

Hi Todd, Yes. There is a way. Sign up as fast as you can! You can download the program and entry form on Pronematch.com. Fill it out and send that thing in. The sooner the better. I make it a point to practice on varying spots on this range. I have never seen a variation in scores. Paul Gideon won t...

Hi Dave. The nerves that affect your hand come in over the top of the wrist in a bundle and spread out to the rest of the hand. IF your cuff is positioned anywhere under the sling from the middle of the wrist to the first inch of your hand, you are pressing against that bundle. Try pulling the mater...

Due Diligence

I haven't heard whether anyone here has compared TESTED EPS to another TESTED lot of ammo. How do you know the two types you are comparing are even comparable without having done considerable testing ahead of time, purchased lots of each type that work exceptionally well in your gun (and they'd have...

Hey Kenny, The only other refinement that I am going to try (in addition) is to allow the final breath release to raise the front sight directly onto the bull into the established NPA spot. Everything you mentioned will already be done and I will be able to utilize my O2 even more efficiently and br...

Your input is appreciated. After getting your responses and consulting other powers that be, it seems that the training solution is to start the relaxation/settling-in process before focusing heavily on the bull. By taking that time to check conditions, breathe, and perform a self-check - I can then...

Imprinting

A few days ago, KennyB suggested that I might be subject to the phenomenon of Imprinting due to the amount of time I use to aim and execute a shot. Initially, I was doubtful that this might be happening, but now I am not so sure. After analyzing two days on the noptel, I think there may very well be...

I think my vision actually begins to provide a clear sight picture because there is a slight delay from when the breaths are taken in to the time when the oxygen is showing it's benefit. I mentioned that I have a specific oxygen uptake issue - and it is severe. I can take in all the breaths in the w...
