any restrictions on type of rifle shot?
Just a bi-pod and rear bag? Not really , but what exactly are you wanting to try to shoot

Buzz wants to shoot one of those 5,000 lb. bench rifles that has to be delivered with a trailer and fork lift!

Buzz wants to shoot one of those 5,000 lb. bench rifles that has to be delivered with a trailer and fork lift! Let him bring it. We’ve had a few guys bring out the truck axel barrel rifles and didn’t make it out of the first round. Those boys were not happy. Think Buzz was referring to rest. Buzz it’s front bipod and rear bag, no mechanical rest.

I was going to shoot a 6mm BR, Heavy Bench gun but no sling swivel stud or pic rail, so I'm stuck with my crappy 6.5 Creedy. Like I said above. I have 100 rounds loaded, so enough for 2 years of these 500 yard matches

Is there a speed limit? Afaf....😏 Don't know for sure i thought someone said 3000fps. I'm in love with this new load I have of 155gr in 308 going 2950fps. I'm probably bringing it. What do you plan on bringing that might be worried about a speed limit?

I have always been a distant fan of the 22 creed. The idea of shooting a 80.5gr bullet with the same muzzle speed as my 55gr bullet, awesome!

I need a 6-9, Amazon says it’ll be here on time. We will see. If not I have a cheap useable 6-9. I always sell bipods with rifles. I need to quit that. F

Finally made some trial loads this morning. Now if I only had a place to shoot on a Sunday morning. I don’t think my neighbors would appreciate it. Looks like it’ll be Tuesday morning to shoot after I get off work then load the best of it.
