EVILGTP98 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 http://www.thundervalleyprecision.com Took the SASS out Saturday to thunder valley, info above, shot their head hunter competition. Got there early to get some rifle dope, did a rough guess of 600 yard dope, fired at a clay lying on the berm, adjusted 1/2 min for wind and cracked the sucker dead center. Used a ballistic app to get rough dopes for competition. Head Hunter Consist of 4 different positions, 5 shots per station, 5 different 9" x 11" steel "heads" set at varying ranges, some in cover, some not. Hit 4 out of 20, not to bad considering it was my first real venture into anything over 200 yards. After competition ended got to lay down on the benches shooting at 1000 yard steel plate, put 40.5 moa in the optic and rang steel 6 out of 10 shots after some minor weapon issues. Great groupl of guys and gals out there, alot of help and alot of great shooters. Got to BS with the guy who runs it, Tom, holds the current world record for 1000 yard group, shot with a 300 hulk, dont know much bout it but guys knows his shit. builds custom long distance guns and hell of a nice guy. Will be inquiring soon about my suppressor through them. Check out the website guys, hell of a cool place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Minor weapons issues? What did you learn? What load are you running? Custom handload? GMM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVILGTP98 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 My guess is gas system issues, with a combination of just quickly getting a dope and not working on the groups. Played with the gas adjustment knob then shot from 200 yds out to 1000 with no problems. Using my own custom loads, winchester brass, win primers, IMR 4895 powder at 42.8 grains, and a 168 grain A max bullet Have had some really good results with the combination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Awesome, will they instruct noobs? I have a savage that shoots .300 win mag, and have never shot it but would like to learn. I've never even used a scope. It was my dad's and was left to me by him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Interested in training classes as well. Any idea how much it costs before I e-mail the website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbot Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 They do training, Tom is a good dude. Go to their website for contact info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVILGTP98 Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 They do have newbie shoots, last one got cancelled but he does run classes for just about everything long range related. I would definatly like to take the class, learn to read the wind, get more knowledge on reloading, just the entire long range game in general. As far as the prices I forgot to ask but guy I shoot with is good friends with Tom and I will get some info from he and see what kinda prices were talking.

1fast5gp Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 This makes me want to hurry up and pick up my 308. Still can't decide. Super SASS or MWS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
