Rifle Range?

[swglenn]

The range in Lake Charles is the Lake Charles Gun Club. Its has targets to 600 yds but the whole range has to be shut down when you go down to look at or change targets. There isn't an all weather road so if it is wet you may have to walk to the target. Membership required.

I belong to the Golden Triangle Gun Club in Beaumont. It has 100, 200, and 600 yd targets. The 600 yd target has a road to it and you can leave someone in the pits to mark your target while you shoot. Membership required. They are having a 600 yd NRA F class match this Saturday if the weather is good. It is held the 4th Saturday of each month.

Let me know if you want to go over there sometime and we can choose a day. What caliber are you shooting? What kind of rifle scope do you have?

Thanks, I appreciate the info. I?ll probably join the one in Eunice but if I decide to go to LC I?ll hit you up. I shoot a .223 wssm, 7 wsm, and buying a 7mm-08 next week. On the 223 I just have a Nikon BDC right now but upgrading next week to something better just not sure exactly what yet. On the 7mm I have a Swarovski Z-3 4x12x50 and on the 7mmx08, I?m thinking about going all out and putting a Nightforce.

Man you gonna love that 7mm-08. You reload? If so 41 grains of IMR 4895 topped with a 140grn Nosler Accubond is a great load. At least in my rifle. Pretty much a a bang and drop load. 2 pounds of trigger pressure and something dies.

Yeah, I?ve been reading nothing but good things about that round. I don?t reload yet but looking at all the equipment to start very soon. Reloading is pretty much my only option for .223 wssm ammo.

Good luck man. Loading your own takes some time but I find it relaxing. I load as much as I want when I want. Don't make it a chore. Whether you load five rounds or fifty stop when you want to. If it becomes work it's not fun anymore.

Living in Virginia and always looking for non-membership-required ranges (> 100 yards) when visiting family in the Baton Rouge area, give or take one-hour drive. I have PRSs rifles in .223Rem and 6.5CM that needs their legs stretched.

Palo Alto in Donaldsonville has F-Class and FPR matches the 1st and 2st Sat of every month at 600 yards that do not require membership.
