Ha ha. James quickly rushes off to TardeMe to buy up on the overwhelming supply of 1/2 MOA and better rifles for sale (mostly T3's).

When i get some time i'll run out the range with my 260 and some targets. Test them out at distance. Might show up more my own ability rather than if the shoot format is realistic

Im gonna need a varmint rifle now

I vote we drop the BC conversions as 300 is not enough to make much difference.. We will just get guys using accurate low BC pills to increase score...

At that range its all about the accuracy of the rifle and the skills of the shooter..

Not disagreeing with you but at 300m using a projectile with a higher BC will help, particularly with the size of the scoring rings.
Yep and most F-Class guys i have talked to agree that the 300yard range is basically an accuracy race as the wind doesn't have enough of an effect. Of course their v-bull is about the size of our target...

If anyone from the north wants to give this a go and let me have a blat, I can travel, and I bake really nice cupcakes...

Ive got a farm to shoot on its pretty much got a 350m range on it marked every hundy.
Will it be 300 adv to 100? or not important.

Get a format done up and we will get into it. What size V bulls will be on the targets to score? Or will they be the same?

I thought we were doin the one that simon suggested? Varmint type!
Run with that for now as it sounds like alot of fun and easy for most to participate..
Then we can run something longer over the summer when time and weather lets us out more...

But i think it will be really hard to do anything really LR postal

Ill find out.

ok then that sounds like a plan then:
Rabbit at 100m, magpie at 150m, possum at 200m, wild cat at 300m
5 shots at each target - no sighters - honesty required
3 minute time limit for each target starting 5m back from the shooting position carrying all the gear you require i.e. no gear pre-setup at the shooting location.
Caliber restricted to 6.5mm and under. No gauging. Inward scoring.
No other rifle or sight restriction.
No restriction on type of rest or shooting position (shooting off a bench would be fine, you just have to carry it 5m!)
Targets submitted by the 16th of November 2012

Hows that sound? Basically an accuracy race to 300m (i.e. meters not yards... )

can I shoot it with my 243?
