Haven't worked on any loads yet, i figure i'll stick with some 168gr FGMM that i got a boatload of for Christmas for this match, but then i'll probably be loading some 178 Amax's for future matches.

Looking forward to actually shooting this time!

Its crazy how nervous i'm getting for this match.

I have a good solid 100yd zero (never gotten to shoot past 100 sadly) on the rifle with the match ammo i'm going to shoot, and have done up all my come up sheets in my data book and on my ballistic app, but i guess like they say you'll never know until you do it...can't wait to get out there...as long as i can put it on paper and not get shut down for not getting on target i'll be ecstatic.

We've all been there. lol.

Sounds like you're ready to go. If you have a good 100 yard zero, you'll be fine.

Is it on the website? </div></div>

Yes there are restrictions. Suppressors and brakes are not allowed in F-class. However, from March until October we also run a Field Precision Rifle match on the 2nd Saturday of each month. Rules for it are posted in the Tactical Match forum on here.
Or PM me with an email address and I'll get you the rules for both.
