Testing center results at home??

My concerns are related to changes in sea level altitudes. Also other weather related differences from the East Coast to the testing center’s.

You’re concerns are misplaced. don’t believe me test in Ohio not Arizona.
 
Fresno club here in Ohio had an indoor ARA match today. I did some testing at the outdoor range. Wind NE 6-14 mph snowing and 35 degrees. My fingers were numb to the point I had trouble just picking up a round and rushed through a target using my new system. Scored 2250-14X. The conditions sure had an effect on me but had no effect on the rifle or ammo. Midas+ I bought blind without any testing whatsoever. If I could have taken my time I feel I could have agged 2300/2350. Good ammo is good ammo anywhere anytime.

Happy new year to all!!
This fall I upgraded from my model 37 to a Stiller 2500 built by M. Penrod. It was recommended to me by the original owner that I get on the list for the Lapua test center. Which I did. My question to all who have used the test center is this. Does your rifle perform at home as it did at the test center? I’ve learned so far that weather plays a big part in how your ammunition performs in your rifle. I’ve spent the last 25yrs drag racing and playing with weather and tuning a car for consistency from track to track. So when I have to send my rifle to the test center out west the conditions I will be shooting it in are very different. I’m concerned about spending the time and money to get back something that doesn’t perform? I should also mention that I live on the east coast in Mystic Ct.

Thanks to all
Kevin
When is the next Mystic ARA match?

We are working on it no date for the first as of yet. We are in the process of adding 80 feet of concrete firing line bye spring if Mother Nature complies. Then to build 15-18 new concrete benches. Once we get that done we will start holding formal matches. Plan is for hopefully late spring. Fingers crossed.
