Rail Guns at 600 yard BR

[Mulligan]

We have a couple of shooters who have rail-guns chambered in a Grinch with 1-8 twist barrels.
Both are short-range guys who have expanded their shooting to include long-range.
Sounds like they are shooting pretty good and have asked if they can shoot them at our 600 BR matches.
After discussing this with a few of the locals, they said they would also be interested in participating in this contest if we decide to do it.

I have only discussed this with a very small group however they have all said, "it's a game of extreme accuracy isn't it.... why not".

I think we could learn a bit and have some fun. I do not see any down sides to this.

Your thoughts?

What's a "rail gun"?

And as long as it maintains withing the weight limits, and other rules, what could it hurt to have some more competition/competitors?

Also, what's a Grinch?

Let them shoot. The more the merrier.......

You must lead a very sheltered life. D

Really?
Is this ever a true statement among shooters? (except more ammo)
LOL

They are fine in non-sanctioned matches. They don't meet IBS or NBRSA rules.

It would be nice if the IBS,NBRSA allowed them to shoot along with the others....

I really would like to see an unlimited class for LR BR.

I'd like to see one shot at a 1000 Yards and I would like to sit right along side it with my H.G. and see if it makes a difference not being on sand bags. No one has ever brought one to the range just to practice. Just think that thing might smoke our records.

how much difference in aggs do you see in short range between a rail gun and a ppc from the bags?

Overnight we would all need new rifles.
Wonder where I can get a rail gun?

Not a fair comparison since they shoot 10 shot groups (usually smaller than a bag gun though)

We can fix that..... I think

Would be another class. Up to a 3 day match now??? I wish someone would show up for a demonstration.

Where do they shoot a two day match? The Only 2 day matches at 600 or 1000 IBS Benchrest is the Nationals.

We have two, two day match’s in Western Colorado. Of course, we are a long way from most everyone that shoots BR, so there is that.
I bet we can figure out a way to shoot HG, LG, and Rails in a two day match. Lots of shootin!

Edit
One is a State Shoot the other is a Regional
