About a year ago I started my first thread on Sniper's Hide. It was a typical newbie thread, I was looking into F-Class competition and was wanting feedback on my rifle options. My Thread A year, and a few questions later, I just won my first F T/R match at CTSA. I shot a 148/150 6x from the...

Sorry if this was posted and I missed it. I ran across this article today, apparently there is some good shooting going on at Camp Perry: http://www.outdoorhub.com/news/record-se...+14%2C+2012+New Enjoy.

Re: F-T/R Bullet Weight Cap (proposed), discussion. For the good of competition, bringing in new shooters etc., it makes sense to cap the bullet weights IMHO. I have enjoyed F-T/R because it is a shooters match and not as much an equipment battle. My understanding of F-Class is that is was...

Re: Case Life and Reloading Costs I appreciate all of the replies. I have not had an issue with my brass yet, but I read the post in the reloading forum and the shooter was one shot away from a head separation (after 8 firings) and my thought was what is the benefit of pushing your brass so...

Re: Case Life and Reloading Costs Bolt gun, full length resize and only bumping back the shoulder 15 thousandths. I am probably good to go for many more firings; however, the shooter in the other thread had a head separate after 8 firings. After 5 reloads the savings increase is greatly...

Re: wireless camera vs spotting scope Thanks!

Re: Case Life and Reloading Costs LOL SNAFU. Seriously though, being somewhat new to reloading it just is not worth it financially to go beyond 5 firings.

I posted this in a thread on the reloading forum about case head separation but I wanted to share it here with the F-Class folks. This thread in the reloading forum got me thinking about risk vs reward as it pertains to case life. By firing a case twice you have halved your case cost. Three...

Re: This is how IMMINENT CASEHEAD SEPARATION looks! This thread got me thinking about risk vs reward as it pertains to case life. By firing a case twice you have halved your case cost. Three times it is a third and so on. Eventually it begins to go asymptotic and your risk of failure (Case...

Re: Range Session - Progress Report We held our monthly 500 yard match (shot at 530 yards) yesterday on MR-65 targets. I learned a lot. You could see the mirage well and the wind was blowing 10-15 mph and switching, full value. It is the first time I could clearly see the mirage and use it...
