Lou Murdica Wins Sniper King Benchrest Match in Tacoma

Berger Bullets Tacoma Rifle Benchrest Lou Murdica Shilen Barrels

As far as we can tell, the first-ever formal benchrest shooting match took place in 1944 at the Tacoma Rifle & Revolver Club in Tacoma, Washington. Known today as the “Sniper King Competition”, this is still a popular event, drawing top shooters from around the country.

Our friend Lou Murdica bested the competition this year to win the Sniper King competition and Benchrest shooting’s oldest trophy. Take a look at that target. That’s a TEN-Shot group at TWO hundred yards. That works out to 0.1299 MOA for ten shots. That’s might impressive…

We have to give Lou credit for his shooting skills and loading spectacularly accurate ammo. Lou was running a Kelbly action, Shilen Barrel, and March scope. He loaded 6mm Berger 65gr BT bullets driven by Accurate LT 30 powder.

Have you ever shot a smaller TEN-shot group, even at 100 yards? If so, tell us about that, by posting a comment below.

Adjustable AR-Type Grip with Front and Rear Inserts

AR15 grip CAA Command Arms UPG16

Do you shoot an AR-platform rifle, or run a bolt gun chassis that uses AR-type grips? If so, you may want to consider the ergonomic UPG16 grip from Command Arms (CAA). This user-configurable grip includes six (6) interchangeable rubberized grip inserts (three front and three rear), allowing the user to customize the finger grooves and contoured backstraps. This can help shooters with big or small hands and also allows you to experiment with slightly different hand-holds. Sometimes a small change can improve your shot-to-shot consistency or improve comfort.

The UPG16 modular grip weighs just 3.7 ounces and is offered in three colors: Black, Desert Tan, and OD Green. The UPG16 grip (including all inserts) costs $32.40 at Brownells.com.
