    F T/R Competition Thank You to All Those Who Helped

    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...

    F T/R Competition F-T/R Bullet Weight Cap (proposed), discussion.

    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...

    F T/R Competition Case Life and Reloading Costs

    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...

    F T/R Competition Case Life and Reloading Costs

    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...

    F T/R Competition Case Life and Reloading Costs

    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.

    F T/R Competition Case Life and Reloading Costs

    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...

    This is how IMMINENT CASEHEAD SEPARATION looks!

    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...

    F T/R Competition Range Session - Progress Report

    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...

    F T/R Competition Barrel lenght

    Re: Barrel lenght In addition to Darrell's feedback, if both barrels have similar profiles, the shorter barrel will be stiffer and be subjected to smaller (less motion) but higher frequency (faster) vibration when fired (all other variables equal).
