Glad to know I'm not the only one who dooms his score with a bad string of fire... I shot a 197, a 191,ugh) and a 195 in our 600 yard match today. With my .308 Win. Was rather handily beat by a fellow with a 6mmBR...

Interesting isn't it? We had far more F-class shooters than conventional prone shooters today. Only three of us went with slings. Of those three, one fellow had a scoped 6mmBR, two of us used .308 match rifles with sights. I couldn't hold with either of those two guys... One guy shot two perfect 200's with his Palma rifle and got rained out for one of his strings of fire. The other fellow managed that 598-39x with his scoped 6mmBR, despite rain, fog and low 40 degree temps...

The discussion of scopes, barrels, cartridges etc is always interesting, but it seems that it's usually the shooter who makes the real difference. I simply wasn't picking up on the subtle wind shifts. Again.
