Hi All
Not too many threads on this so thought I would start another. Currently I am running both a 308 and 6mm dasher barrels in my F Class rifle.
I shoot F Class Standard with the 308. In Aus, we have F Class Standard category, which matches the original intent of placing a 308 or 223 target rifle on a front rest. We run 155gr 308's or 80gr 223 in a rifle weighing 8.5kg, and can use a front rest. basically and F Open setup but limited to 155gr out of a 308. My 6mm dasher basically comes out for practice days only.
My thoughts are to switching to Open, using the Dasher for short ranges and club matches, and getting my barrel rechambered to a 30/284 or similar for windy days and longer ranges. The 308 barrel only has 1,000 rounds and is a 1:10 so should be able to handle 200gr out of either a 308 or the 30/284.
Is anyone running the 30/284 in Fclass or longer range comps? Any experience with loads, barrel wear, etc. Any other suggestions for a 30 cal round on a .473 bolt face?
Cheers
Adrian
