Cast Bullet Postal Matches!
Try your cast bullet skills by entering a postal match. There are matches for handguns, lever rifles, break-action rifles/handguns, military rifles and carbines, plus all regular CBA rifle classes.
You send for targets, shoot them on your own according to the rules, and send them in for scoring.  Download the information here.
You don't have to cast the bullets yourself.  Some of our members will give you some bullets to try out and instructions for how to load and shoot them.  Recoil and muzzle blast is moderate and you will have a lot of fun shooting them.
Email me for further information and someone to help you get started.

Cast Bullet Rifle and Handgun Matches


The Club hosts at least one registered Cast Bullet Association benchrest and military match each month from May through September.  Anyone can participate in our matches, the main requirement being that you must shoot cast lead-alloy bullets.
You can sign up to shoot in many different classes that were defined to keep the playing field reasonably level.

For the regular benchrest matches the  classifications are:

Hunter 9.5lb, stock production
Production 12lb, stock production
Heavy 14lb, no other restrictions
Unrestricted Rifle No restrictions except shooter has to lift rifle onto bench without any help
Long Range Handgun 7.5lb, 15" barrel
Unrestricted Handgun Same as Unrestricted Rifle

The official rules are found here.

The national record in Hunter class 100 yard 10-shot group was set at BHSC in 2018.
The national record in Hunter class 200 yard 5-shot group was set at BHSC in 2019.
The national record 100 yard Big Bore 40-shot Standing was set at BHSC in 2018.


For the Military benchrest matches the classifications are:

Issue  As Issued
Modified Iron Sight mods allowed
Modified Scope 6X maximum power, but a variable set at 6X is allowed.
Big Bore  Military Issure 39 Caliber and greater.

The official rules are found here.

A shooter can also use the offhand position.  The 40 shots standing in Big Bore  national record was set at BHSC in 2018.  A standing big bore score national record was set here in 2019.

If you happen to have a "Sporterized" military rifle, it may be legal in the mil-mod classes and production class IF the barrel retains its original contour.  There are some other restrictions regarding the stock, but the rules are very generous.  Those old military rifles can really shoot, even with a less than perfect bore.  Give yours a try if you have one!


JackNat'lsHere is one of our club members at the 2018 CBA National Matches in Kansas City.  Of the seven medals, one of them is a Gold for the 10-shot goup Grand Aggregate in Production Class(Average Two groups at 100 and two groups at 200 yards). The rifle was a Remington 700 LTR in 223 Rem.  Virtually all competitors use a 30 caliber but there were two 223s this year. 

For 2019, the same member brought nine medals home from the National Matches and with 2nd place in Production class and the "Little Bore" match.

Here are two 100-yard groups shot with a 30BR and cast bullets in a Heavy class rifle.
This is the first load tried in a new rifle, so it is expected it will do much better.
