Thread: F-PR shooters, what rifles/calibers are you running in competition?

It's a constant battle just to have enough for actual shoots and you often have to short-cut load development and practice. I can't see the situation improving markedly in the near or even medium-term future.

If you decide further down the track to lash out, fair enough but doing it right now will be an expensive exercise full of frustration and constant effort just to keep the gear running.

I'm looking towards next season, I will be shooting the 6.5 this season as much as I can but just starting to make a plan to get back into properly next year
