It’ll take group and score to win
May be a 30br takes it
May be a 30br takes it
they are setting it up for the short range shooter no doubt, but a good barrel in a Br imp. and a 105 will do good especially if it is windy.... jim

I think you better be able to shoot in the .3s

At 300 meters, a rifle’s agging capability still rules. I would bet on a well tuned 6PPC or 30 BR.

I am a PPC guy and shoot 500 yd groundhog matches with it. If conditions are pretty fair it's tough to beat. But in a 300 yd only match other than good conditions I would shoot one of my BRXs anytime. So, take one of each and evaluate conditions day of match and pick one.
I think that is what some shoot at 600 but you see more around a .500 groups at 600. Barrel quality and your ability to shoot in the same condition. And if it gets nasty it would be in your favor.
In all reality it is a stacked deck in favor of the short range guys and equipment, they give up nothing and it is a regular shoot for them. Take their sea of flags away and going back to the sighter and see what happens..... or limit the number of flags.... jim

i have seen Junebug shoot the 87 vlds from his 10 twist brdx that was like a lazerbeam at 300 and 400 in the Bluegrass Balloon Bust, I think he shoots rl15 but i aint sure.
Personally I think Cline and co. have done a great job makeing the shoot fair, I have shot a ppc and 30 dasher in competition out to 400 yards for decades, I agree with Jeff both are tough in good conditions but that is a stretch for both in breezy conditions. A 17 lb. gun has an advantage over a 10.5 or 13.5 as far as the flags that's on the shooter theirs no B class in benchrest.

So, I think the weight limit is 22lbs? Are you saying go with a well tuned 17lb gun? I ask because I have read that a well tuned 17lb bra will shoot in the 1s and zeros shirt range.

Not questioning. Just asking for clarification.

Something I take in to consideration is that when I started shooting benchrest about 25 yrs ago I would see 2 or 3 matches a year with what I consider bad conditions. The last 4 or 5 years there are 2 or 3 matches a year, maybe, with good conditions. Hard to beat that high bc 3000fps 6mm bullet at 300 yd in switching 8 to 15 mph winds, or higher.It is going to be interesting to see an honest equipment list of the top 20. I hope they have one and put it on here.
since you can get 6mm 80 gr bullets that are made as good as the 68s the game may be changing,,maybe not,,but may be
