Thread: What caliber are you shooting F-Open with?

Basically any high capacity 6.5mm or 7mm from my experience.

Thanks Willus. Do you have specific setup that you use? Can you share a bit more about your setup? (Rifle type, barrel length, stock, optics)

ive been using a 6mmBR for a number of years and have no intention of changing, ive felt undergunned on a couple of occasions but when it came to scores it didnt show. its a great all around caliber, not to bad on barrels and components and what i believe is very important is it behaves its self on the bags and is easy to shoot consistantly.

Thanks Stuart. What barrel length are you using? I read that any heavy barrel longer than 24” is good enough.

i use a 28 inch lilja palma contour runnng a no turn neck. you would want something of similar length to get 2900fps out of it.
