    F T/R Competition 308 AI.... really?

    Re: 308 AI.... really? At Nationals in Lodi last month, I did end up checking fired brass from virtually all of the F-T/R competitors. No one failed. There was initially some discussion with the match officials about whether or not to check competitor's brass. Their position (and there...

    F T/R Competition What scope do you use for 600-1000 yard F T/R?

    Re: What scope do you use for 600-1000 yard F T/R? Aub, What Monte said! I agree about the 42x magnification. For the early morning stages, especially at 300 yards with the 1.4" X-ring, it is VERY useful to be able to have extremely precise aiming points. As the day heats up, and the...

    F T/R Competition What scope do you use for 600-1000 yard F T/R?

    F T/R Competition 308 Brass

    Re: 308 Brass Nosler puts a good deal of time into improving their brass that they get from the factory, and for a reload or two it will probably work very well. Unfortunately, it is closely related metallurgically to Federal brass, and as such is too soft to hold up under repeated...

    F T/R Competition 1000 Yards with SPS Tactical?

    Re: 1000 Yards with SPS Tactical? 2610 at the muzzle will leave you a little short of mach at 1000 yards with the 175 SMK's, unless the match is *way* up in altitude.

    F T/R Competition 1000 Yards with SPS Tactical?

    Re: 1000 Yards with SPS Tactical? What velocity are you able to wring out of your 175 load? I have heard of people being competitive (F-Class) at 1000 with stubby barrels, but they were running 208's or 210's. The velocity will tell you the true story though.

    F T/R Competition Savage Model 12 FT/R Review

    Re: Savage Model 12 FT/R Review Rice: I am lucky, the factory cheek piece happens to fit me well, so I have a thin piece of "moleskin" like foam that I have glued down. This has sorted out any problems I've had in hot and/or rainy conditions. As Matt says though, the Karsten's adjustable...

    F T/R Competition Savage Model 12 FT/R Review

    Re: Savage Model 12 FT/R Review Rice: Try Berger 155.5's over Varget in Winchester brass. Work up from 46 grains of Varget, you'll find some *very* accurate loads in that range. While competitive shooters run these bullets over 3000 fps (or higher), if you get some good small groups from a...

    F T/R Competition First F class match last sunday

    Re: First F class match last sunday That darn wind!! But you need to clarify, if you shot a .308 off a bipod, you weren't shooting "belly benchrest", you were shooting F-T/R! Nice shooting, keep it up. Darrell
