    Bugger That, you seem to use the term "F Class" to refer to FO. That might have been the case in the past, as some in the NRA still seem to do this. With the move to 6.1 scoring, we have hopefully broken the ubmilical to TR and positioned more as a "real" F class sub-division. Most of the resistance to FTR going 6.10 came from TR shooters

    Those of us shooting currently see F-Class as having two equal divisions, FTR and FO.

    The 308s we are shooting are a world apart from 1:14 144grainers. The Lapua Scenar 155 and HBC Dyer Mk2 are both pretty good, and for that extra 5-10%, the Berger 185 Hybrid or Juggernaut is the current flavour of the month.

    In FO most top guys seem to be using 7 WSM, either 7mm or 300WSM necked down, driving 180 Bergers.

    It would have been good to keep FTR at 155, to make it a more even playing field (and limit costs), but that horse has bolted, and like I said, the yanks are going even heavier than 185... Been hearing things about heavier pills in extra-extra long barrels...
