I shoot my favorite NBRSA light varmint 6PPC:

1998 Farley Action, I converted to a Drop Port. I build my own Rifles.
Krieger 13.5 twist barrel
My own Tuner
Scoville Stock
Jewel Trigger
March Majesta 8x80x56 Scope.
My own 68 grn BT bullet.
Alpha Brass.
Fed 205 primers.
I shot 29.2 grns of LT 32 on Saturday, (3450 fps), it did pretty good. I lost the tune on Sunday and fell back some. I should have switched to N133 when the humidity came in Sunday.

By the way, I used the big March Majesta on around 45x most of the time. That seemed to give the best combo of power and clarity. The 80x power was pretty much useless, like looking through a aquarium with dirty water.IMG_0960.jpeg

Shot my new (cough) proto type bullet for the Thursday no flag
terror match. Other then two major brain farts, and another issue,
these bullets are going to get more trigger time on them. I believe
you got a sample to ponder, Jeff ??
 
I brought my heavy VFS riffle to shoot this TD VI.
Caliber: 30 Grendel
Stiller Diamondback SS DP action, pillar bedded in Kelby Klub stock with weight system
Butt stock contains 2 lbs. 7 ozs, 1 inch bar of Tungsten-Copper alloy 6 inches long
Shilen SS Select Match barrel HV #7, 1:17 twist 4 groove rachet
Jewell trigger, 2009 vintage
March 10x60 scope with 3/32nd dot
6.5 Grendel Lapua brass FF to .308 diameter
Jim Clines 108 gn FB "Magic Bullets", Wolf Primers, 31.8 +/- 0.02 gn of N130
Garmin Chronograph: 2940 to 2950 fps at 80 deg F in Texas with single digit SD, velocity was running
2900 fps in Orangeburg SC weather
Gun weighed 16 lbs. 6 ozs in Texas
Next year the gun will probably be over 18 lbs. with straight 28 inch 1.25 Dia 1:17 twist, 4 groove Shilen

This gun makes VFS weight for registered NBRSA matches by changing barrels and buttstock weights
