Long range steel target gun

Anyone here know what kind of gun especially the barrel they use for the long range steel target matches at FS. I am referring to the long barrell slug rifles they shoot. Thanks

Re: Long range steel target gun

I have several "long range" slug guns as follows:
​- Pedersoli Gibbs which shoots well enough right out of the box to be able to win a world championships with. I am not sure who makes their barrels although several folks told me they have a custom shot in house to do them. They have very shallow rifling.
​- 50 caliber Douglass XX stainless which can shoot 5 mini balls into one hole at 300 yards. I use a 540 grain Creedmoor nose bullet, fiber wad and 90 grains of FFG. I put a Unertl 10 powder scope on it. Barrel is 1 1/2 across flats, 38 inches long.
-  45 caliber green Mtn 1 in 18 built in an under hammer, 42 inch long with approximate same load as above. Not quite as accurate as it has a tang sight.
​- 45 caliber gain twist 1 in 18 -> 1 in 15 barrel with NO marking, has false muzzle, bullet starter and hooked patent breech, 1 1/8 across flats, 36 inches long. It has a 15 power Unertl scope and shoots about the same as the other one at 300 yards.

​I have tried paper patching and I am lucky to hit the side of the mtn.!!!!!!!! I use Doug Knoel's lube which is pretty darn great. Wipe between each shot 1 wet, 1 dry.

Hope this helps some. About the only one to buy is the Pedersoli Gibbs or from a custom maker. John

Re: Long range steel target gun

Are there any BP long range matches held? Looks like it would be fun.

Re: Long range steel target gun

There are a few around far and away you might look up Lee Shaver as he is involved with the sport and makes a rifle for this game.
Good Luck!

One good shot doesn't make a match but one bad shot dang sure can ruin a match!

There's a major event coming up in Phoenix in March, shooting at distances from 300 - 1000 yards.
See: World Super Shoot, Phoenix 2018

Late march is another long range match at Oak Ridge, TN.

Three things you must remember while target shooting. (1) Align the sights carefully. (2) Squeeze the trigger. (3) Say how did it get over there. http://prwarner.wix.com/mlts-masters
