National Matches at Camp Perry, Vintage Military Rifle

Post by 2ndovc »

I will be attending the Vintage Rifle Matches at Camp Perry, OH this Summer.
A recent addition to the main event, they will be held July 19&20 according to the CMP site.

I will be working on a 200 yd load for my Winchester Russian Musket with my 1898 Krag as a backup.
I may also participate in the 100 yd M1 Carbine competition.

Hope to see some of you there.

Definitely we want to see a 'Range Report' on that, for sure...!

Doubt I'll ever get the time free to go there, but I'm not enough of a good-shot to merit being there, either.

Good Luck, and keep us posted. 8)

A week ago I wouldn't have had the time either but I recently returned to Self Employed status and can do
just about anything I darned well please!

Took inventory on my 7.62x54r brass and don't have anywhere near enough to make enough practice and
then match ammo. I found some Privi Partizan for @ $50/100 and Lapua for @ $1.00 a case.
Anyone have any experience with Privi P. brass?
I have a ton of Wolf and Silver Bear steel case ammunition but rather run my own through my baby.

Jb: I have built my own hand loads out of mil slurp, by pulling live rounds with an inertia puller, remove the de-priming pin from your sizing die,, resize, charge with your own load and shoot away.. Just a thought..Les
