strike might not happen:

Strike averted as Canada Post workers present new contract proposal

OTTAWA - It appears a strike by Canada Post workers has been averted, at least for now.

The union representing urban postal workers presented a new contract proposal Sunday and decided not to give the 72 hour notice needed to take job action.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says its proposal includes important compromises.

It says the proposal covers all unresolved issues at the bargaining table, which include wages and benefits, staffing levels and working conditions.

Canada Post will only say negotiations continue and it's focused on reaching a settlement.

The union had threatened job action if a deal wasn't reached by this week. The lack of a 72-hour notice effectively means the earliest the union could strike would be Friday.

An earlier agreement covering some 50,000 employees expired on Jan. 31, and talks on a new deal began last fall.

Last week, Canada Post reached an agreement with the union to bring in volunteer postal workers to deliver cheques to pensioners and those on social assistance should a labour disruption occur.

Federal Labour Minister Lisa Raitt urged both sides to reach a deal to avert a potential disruption of the country's mail service.

A good question. I had loaded these rounds on a whim because I had some 178 Amax left over. The powder load and length were just a guess.

These particular rounds were fire formed Lapua brass and I only had 5 of them. The rest were fire formed Remington brass and I immediately noticed that they did not group nearly as well, only getting in the half MOA range. Just shows what a little difference in components can make, eh.

I have been shooting a lot of 185 Berger BT and been getting solid quarter MOA 3 and 4 round groups quite often, so that has demonstrated to me the capability of the rifle. This particular group was the first one I decided to show off, mainly because there were a couple of witnesses. I personally can't tell by looking at some guys pictures how many rounds went through a particular spot.:)

Hope to see you at the range soon.

Well that was a helloffa guess then!Quality brass does make a big difference if you ask me!
My partners Coyote shoots the 185 Scenars very well too.We are trying to decide on those or the Berger 155.5s if we can get them to shoot as well as the Lapuas.
I'm embroiled in training and shooting service rifle right now.The BC Championships are next weekend and I plan on winning it so I'll be shooting more precision after next weekend.Gotta train those dots and the 3 position a few more times before the match.Hope you are getting some good shooting in!
 
Longshot - you don't need to train, just relax, drink beer and eat pizza. Old guys like c3pppo and me don't need to compete against people who train - just getting into position is hard enough for us guys.

Ed, I will not be shooting this year but will be coming up Saturday and Sunday to watch and shoot the ####. If you could advise the sentries that would be much appreciated. As well I still have the car window targets and some other sundry items from previous matches sitting in my garage, does anyone want them? Will they ever be used again?
