I've had 2 or 3 squibs where only the primer went off. In each case, there was only enough ooomph to push the bullet just out of the chamber but where there wasn't enough room to chamber the next...

I haven't tried this with the patches on my shooting coat, but I do know that cleaning worn golf club grips with rubbing alcohol will restore their tackiness.

For us reloaders, issue ammo isn't important at all. For non-reloaders, I imagine they appreciate the opportunity to shoot the Hornady ammo instead of HXP. If the CMP ever allows handloads in lieu of...

Already mentioned somewhere on the forum, but I saw several Swede snipers at the Eastern Games sniper match. In fact a Swede won the match. Assuming a rifle is using the correct vintage/reproduction...

Just speaking for myself, but I don't view the CMP Garand/Springfield/Vintage matches as "Highpower Lite". It is what it is; a chance to shoot unaltered vintage rifles in a match setting. The fact...

Wish they'd hold the Western Games during the winter months as it'd provide us Midwestern types with more incentive to go out and participate. Also, 293 with a Garand is awesome. It looks like your...

Dave, any modifications to the as-issued sights would disqualify the rifle from competition. I don't think I could shoot a K98 on an overcast day as the front sight would be invisible, at least for...

Thanks Dave. I consider that level of accuracy in my milsurps to be quite acceptable. I assume you were shooting surplus ammo when you shot the groups? I might be able to tighten it up a bit with...

I have an opportunity to purchase a FN manufactured .308 bolt action Mauser. Since I'd like to shoot it in the CMP Vintage class, does anyone have experience with this rifle accuracy-wise? I'm not...

Thanks for the tips Maury, this old shooter learned something new today.

The shortest answer I can give you, other than moving to an area where they hold EIC matches, is to go here: http://www.usrifleteams.com/

Don't know if you're using a shooting coat or not, but when you mount the rifle and seat the rifle into your shoulder, you should be able to place the butt up or down ever so slightly. Sometimes...

30-06 Milsurp brass is not thicker than commercial brass. This is an urban legend that needs to be banished. Some commercial brass is lighter than the more or less standard 200gr mil brass...the...

What the guys said above. Once you've done the whole rapid fire process enough times, checking your scope isn't a big deal timewise and can help avoid losing points.

John,
The crimp is different in that it is composed of 3 little "tits" instead of one that is the full circumference of the primer pocket. Generally, they don't have to be removed prior to...

Mdoerner,
Yes, I'd say to both of the above. When I started shooting High Power matches with my Garand, my target frequently looked like yours. I didn't know it at the time, but my trigger...

Looks like a lot of things going on, but yeah, I think you overcompensated with the vertical adjustments. The two positions where you were most likely to have consistent holds were your offhand and...
