Hi all,
I'm a new member here, but have looked in on threads over the years. And now that I'm getting ready for my first match, I figured this would be a good place to ask for tips.
This particular "Mini F-Class" match is for .223 & .308 only, so I'll be using one of my Remington SPS Varmints in .308. This one is sitting in an HS Precision stock that came off of a Sendero, & has a Leupold FXIII 6X42 in Leupold rings. Yeah, I know, not the best scope & rings for the job, but it's what I have for now. Oh yeah & its sitting on a Harris bipod.

I'm working on some handloads using 155gr & 168gr Amax bullets, Winchester cases, & Federal 210 primers. I'm experimenting with Varget, H4895, & RL15, and already have some 155 Amax rounds loaded up with H380 that do quite well. I wanted to grab some SMKs & 210M primers today, but couldn't find any.
The match will be shot at 100 & 200 yards. Is there anything I need to know/keep in mind when getting ready for the match or while I'm shooting? I do know about breath control, trying to shoot between heartbeats, trigger control, ect.
Thanks.
