Elwood Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Last year Tim Stewart entered his first F/TR rifle competition, the Europeans, he finished last. This year he won it. Lee Tomlinson won the European F open class title, while Grant Taylor secured his third GB F class league title. Adam Bagnal retained his F/TR league title. Both F/TR and F open teams won the European team matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elwood Posted November 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 have you got the new stick running yet Hi Danny, I've had a play with it and it has done OK but I didn't really have enough time to really give it a proper test, certainly not enough to use in a competition. I will get some photo's up later on in the week. Another notable achievement was Mark D shooting a 99.14 today in the team event with his .284, oh for that one shot.

garyw Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Thats a fair jump for the bergers-20" - i will bet MIK will pleased. nice to see a nesika action getting some marbles, as a famous rifle builder would say "but its not a BAT" once again well done in the space of a year makes it all worth while.

Eagernoskill Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Interesting to see that you are using a small primer case Tim,,,, Once again well done to all of you lads,,, I will look forward to your write up,,, Darrel As 6mmBR mentioned it is the general consensus that the Small Primer SP handles pressure better - and even if its only a belief when you lie behind the firearm I used the CCI-BR NOTE 1. With large powder charges and/or 2. Certain powders and/or 3. Really cold conditions You may be challenged inconsistent ignition of the SP so careful testing and validation is required Here is my plot sheet from 900y on Day 2 - this is the stage that really gave me the jump on the field Happy to add the rest if it adds value to anyone Tim TS Day 2 Stage 5.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
