Vesper will be there.  
Whether she comes out to play will be up to her.  
However, she loves to see steel cower in fear!

Basically, means the last prayer of the day, thus the rifle named Vesper, because when she lines up on you, it's light's out.

It's the only gun I have named.....................so far.

Hmmm naming a rifle is perhaps an acceptable form of bonding?

Nice Zona, I thought maybe you woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning!

I am looking forward to the match actually as I have not been out shooting the rifle for quite some time now. Something about a small car with low profile wheels does not fair well with unimproved roads and several inches of snow.

Looking forward to doing some distance shooting and getting that long awaited cold weather data logged.

 Targets can be set at different ranges the main match will be around 1000yds
 As for steel ringer or the one who distroys MGMs targets distance is your friend

I got work off so I'll be there as well! that is, if I can reload 100rds after work friday Anyways, I have yet to take my gun past 200 yards, but I'm shooting almost 1/4 moa at 200. Sounds like this event is pretty first-timer freindly, but does anyone have any suggestions what I should do to prepare for much farther distances than what I'm use to? online balistic calculator?

You will have a blast, and learn a lot! I do every time I take my gun (sorry I don't have a cute name for it yet) out for a spin. 

My first LRTR last Jan, was with a new gun too, only had about 20 rounds through it. Printed out some ballistic tables from Eskimo http://www.eskimo.com/~jbm/calculations/calculations.html They worked good enough at the time, and my rifle out shot me, and I'm slowly catching up to it.

quick question for you reloaders. I have built up a load using nosler brass, but all I have to load up tonight for tomorrow is lapua. How bad is it if I swap brass with same load? accuracy wise... do they have a check zero session or free fire time before it starts?

They're going to have a chrono there and someone is bound to have software (I think luvmy45 or zona5101 has Exbal on his PDA). Should be easy to come up with a dope chart and you ought to be able to get yourself zeroed to 100 somewhere.

AAR anyone. I wasn't able to make it due to sick kidlette.

I drove out to the pistol pits to do my monthly rifle qual. There were quite a few rigs parked up on top. Looked like a good turnout.
