I already follow the site a little bit.
I just took up shooting again after a layoff of nearly 25 years, but I'm coming from 15 years of four position smallbore background and find the high power targets much easier. I only had to learn how to shoot the rapid fire stages and get used to a trigger measured in pounds instead of ounces. So a new skill of having to be aggressive on the trigger was learned but still needing improvement.
I'm a loooong way behind where I used to be but I don't have the time and energy that I had as a kid to spend to get back what I could do back then. Life, wife, and kids happened. But I am enjoying the time I get to spend shooting again. I was going to go to Perry for the first time this year but now I have to get my son off for his first year of college that week, so I'll have to wait another year. If it wasn't his first year I'd wish him well and hop on the plane, but not this time. Oh well, something to look forward to and more practice as well, I have especially a lot to learn in reading the wind.
It's easier to shoot good scores at 100yds than it is at full distance. Every error you make will be amplified by angular projection. Then add in wind and weather etc.

Word.
Rminut,
" The AMU has used FGMM for decades at 200,300 and even 600 way back in the day before 80 SMK."
Might want to go out and check that. I have not seen them use that stuff in years! In fact they are loading their own again with LC brass. Not sure of the manufacturer from last year, but before that it was Black Hills and I don't think I have seen any Federal ammo boxes since 2005 and that was from the Army Reserve team (have one of them from the Nationals) and I don't believe that they have been using Sierra bullets at the 600 yard line that I can remember since I started shooting highpower in '99. And from my info tnis year, the AMU is using Berger 73LTB's for the short line and Berger 80.5's at the 6. The LC Brass is coming pre-primered with CCI primers.
