Loads / Re loads for F-Class

[foxguy]

So I am curious, When developing your loads for F-class. What size group are you looking for at 100 yards.

1 MOA or less?

 

[Acyr]

No more than 1/2 MOA for FTR for sure. Then see if it repeats at 600. 1/2 MOA max over 20 shots at 600 should be your goal. Cut that in half for F Open.

My goal at 500yds is less than 1.50” group in prime conditions. Very doable…
I never shoot or tune @ 100yds.
Below is a load work up at 505yds. A quarter is .945” diameter.

More shots yield larger groups, so group size is an imprecise term. To me testing at 100yd is a waste of time because everything should look great, and therefore tell you next to nothing. I test at 200yd which gives a greater response and is not overly sensitive to wind, mirage, etc. Ladders using 3 shots per charge clearly reveal a poi node, and the corresponding groups should be less than 1/4moa.

One more thing, I do my tuner test at 100 to eliminate me or the wind…
Then take it to distance and fine tune..

.5’sh moa is what I look for at 300 yards and it seems to do well for me out to 600.

You are aiming at a 1/2 MOA target at 600 or 1000 yards. If the conditions allow, with shooter error you need to be inside that. Otherwise, you can't tell if if its conditions, the shooter, or the load.

I tune at 600 for mid range and 1k for LR, but at 100 everything is under 0.2 moa. When getting start I do shoot at 100 or 200 to rough things in.
