Why? Just curious...Looking for real world experience with calibers being shot for F class out of the same rifle (switch barrel rigs). Say what you shoot in club matches vs big national matches.
Would like to get into F class. I have a barrel ( 6GT) that will headspace unto a Kelblys single shot action ( still trying to decide which of their models torn between their steel golden bear and aluminum variants) and need to formulate the other components. Meaning should I chamber a 284 Winchester to accompany said 6GT or do I need a 7 SAUM or just keep it simple a run one caliber.Why? Just curious...
Listen to Keith. I wish I would have asked and received this advice years ago.Would like to get into F class.

I live in Mississippi, weather conditions are what they are.
I am not gunning for any national championships, just trying to pick up a new discipline in our various shooting sports, that I can share with friends and family.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Another thing to consider is how you keep all the data straight in your head on game day.
One caliber, one bullet profile- the learning is less difficult and muscle memory/auto pilot are helping. Add another caliber and things can get complicated real quick.

Listen to Keith. I wish I would have asked and received this advice years ago.
It’s more of a personal thing. I don’t keep good enough records or a very organized person. I feel my best 1000 yd match I ever shot was with 260ai. I could feel the gun was in tune. It was Tenn state match 2 years ago. I held my own with that bunch you shoot with. The gun just shot where I pointed it. I personally feel gun tune, gun handling and wind reading are more important than BC and speed. So I made an effort this year to focus on 284 and the basics. 284 is just the easy button. I am a firm believer in accuracy and consistency trumps all. If you have an accurate magnum you will do well.I’m curious on your impressions over those years about calibers or approaches that didn’t meet expectations.
