Re: 2012 Nationals what bullet stood out in FTR. Marty, The matches were a mixed bag as far as bullet weight goes. The conditions were for the most part *very* un-Raton like, in that the winds were generally much quieter than usual. This is not to say that there weren't some tricky...

Re: Need help single loading for F Class Conversely, instead of simply dropping the round on the top of the mag, give it a flick with your index finger to get it at least part way into the chamber. This way when you close the bolt, it will simply (and gently) move it the rest of the way into...

Re: F Class TR +1 on what Monte said! Fair warning, fired cases have been checked at the last few Nationals, and this will continue, especially as we approach Worlds next year. The last few years, Mike and myself have checked virtually all of the F-T/R competitor's cases at Nationals...

Re: Success!! Finally! Long story....long Outstanding Jarrod! Time to bring this combo out to Raton, or some of the other bigger matches. With your accuracy settled, you can work on getting a handle on some bigger wind ranges with confidence! Nice job, Darrell

Re: My F/TR Re-Do Nice job! Depending on how far you plan on shooting your upgraded toy, you might consider trying some 155.5's or 185's.

Re: Bi-Pod or Benchrest rest for 600yd shoot? Yeah, if you will be shooting F-Open, you might simply go with the rest, vs. the bipod. There are a few notable exceptions, but by and large, F-Open types are running rests.

Re: F-Class National Highpower Match Raton Sheesh... That's what I get for trying to enlighten the troglodytes. It goes along with that old adage; don't bother trying to teach a barbarian refined culture, it'll only frustrate you, and annoy the barbarian(s)

Re: Is 12 Twist Fast Enough? HighRez, I have shot the Savage 1:12 twist barrel for years. It has no problem stabilizing 185's or heavier pills. The only application I have gone to 1:10 twist barrels for is 215's and 230's out of a .308. If I was to buy a Krieger or other custom barrel, it...

Hey All, There has been a ton of interest in shooting team matches at Nationals this year. The team days I am mainly talking about are the Sunday the 16th "Stars and Stripes" team day, as well as the Nationals team day, Thursday the 20th. I will already be entering 3 or more US F-T/R...
