Subject: UBR 3 2 24 DBRR The 1st match of the 2024 season was shot at Dry Branch RR on Saturday. Sixteen rifles competed in very decent weather for the 1st W/E in March. Temp topped out in the low 50s with misting rain for a good part of the day and the wind was light, 0-5 mph from the WSW. This...

Does anyone know if there is a dealer or manufacturer of prefit/prechambered barrels in Australia? Ideally I'm talking about someone like Criterion or Shilen and the Remage barrel nut system. Also, is it even possible for someone in OZ to buy a US made barrel and get it to OZ without prohibitive...

I'm looking for information regarding some actions that Lester Bruno apparently contracted with McMillan to make using his specs. This appears to have been done maybe 10 years ago, could be more. A local club member has one that he would like to sell and the price seems reasonable. The rifle...

UBR Nationals September 11 & 12 results While I'm pretty sure everyone who is interested already knows this, the Ultimate Benchrest Nationals will be held this Friday & Saturday at the Boyle County Fish & Game Club in Junction City KY ( a few miles south of Danville). Looks like there will be...

Wind & rain made for a challenging day and Dry Branch is a challenge on a good day. Rick

Turnout was decent on a very pleasant day with the temp in the mid 80's and light breezes. AS usual some of the scores were good with JR Rigsby almost equaling his record again, but just barely falling short with a 263 @ 100. He still managed to pull out a win in the Grand in Unlimited. Richard...

Challenging conditions held down the scores yesterday, but 33 rifles and their drivers had a good time anyway. We had competitors from WI, NC, VA, IN, KY and TN if I didn't leave anyone out. Even with a tough wind, it seemed that everyone enjoyed a very fine day. Rick

There will be an Ultimate Benchrest Match on Saturday May 2nd at Dry Branch Rifle Range in Dixon Springs TN. If you haven't been here before, we are located about 6 miles south of Lafayette TN just off Hwy 10 on Dry Branch Rd. The address for the range is 175 Dry Branch Rd, Dixon Springs TN...

The day started at Dry Branch Rifle Range in the 50's at 6:30 when I arrived, By 9:00 when we started the match we were in the low 70's. It made for a an enjoyable day, although it was a typically challenging event at out range. I don't think the wind ever got much above 5 mph, but with the...

For the first time in three years, we held the TN State Championship at Dry Branch Rifle Range in Dixon Springs TN. This was due to the fact that until this season, no one was shooting UBR in TN since the closing of the TVA range at Gallatin. Of course, we will probably have to discuss next...

Sorry for the late posting. Only got these results last night. I don't know much about the match other than the mirage was pretty bad at 200. Rick

Yesterday was a typical Red Brush day. While the wind wasn't exactly strong it couldn't make up it's mind which direction or how fast it wanted to blow. The first couple of relays at 100 went pretty well, but the last two and all of the 200 were a challenge. We had folks travel from north of...

Good conditions in the morning made for some very good scores at Boyle County KY yesterday. Brud Sheats and Chester Bradford both shot a 512 GA in Custom Class with Brud only missing a perfect 100 by one shot on the last card. It was a little tougher in the afternoon but was still a very good...

Wasn't there but I'm told the winds were light and variable which made for some good shooting. Rick

Not much to say other than a hot & humid day with mirage and tough conditions. Congrats to first time winner Wayne Hearn. Rick

I've never used any Starline brass but I've read here and there some folks seem to think it's pretty good stuff in pistol cases. I recently noticed that they are making 6.5 Grendel brass and I'm considering giving it a try. When I bought my first batch of 6.5 Grendel Lapua wasn't available and...

The turnout was light at Red Brush on Saturday, but since the temps and humidity were high, no one minded a short day as they finished before 11:30. Scores are attached Rick

The owner of a local gunshop, who also shoots UBR matches with us, recently bought several old benchrest rifles from the widow of a shooter who passed several years ago. I tend to be a sucker for the old stuff and one is virtually identical to a rifle I already own. It is chambered in 222x40 and...

Yesterday, July 13, was what one might call a preview of the 2019 UBR Nationals as they will be held September 13 & 14th at the Boyle County Fish & Game Club, Junction City KY. It was my first visit to the range and I was impressed. As I understand it the range was rebuilt a couple of years ago...

Yesterday's match was our hottest and most humid of the year. By the end of the day all were worn out, very sweaty and probably didn't smell very good. We had two new shooters who seemed to have enjoyed themselves and we hope to see them back. In talking it over with several of the regulars who...
