I use the same Dasher load for all conditions. I always have one group for the day that is a "good one" and it's usually the 4th one.Does anyone here tune during 600 or 1,000 yard matches? If so do you tune to maintain a specific velocity or to group shape and size?
I’m never gonna get all this under control, geez.
Thanks, I have one match under my belt. Now I am going to try and get a complete season and learn from you guys!That’s the fun part, Troy!If it were easy anyone could do it well. Good luck this BR season.
Exactly what I am going to "try" and do!Thanks, I have one match under my belt. Now I am going to try and get a complete season and learn from you guys!
Y’all need to have a tuning class before the match in JuneAll rifles go out of tune. You may get very lucky with a barrel that holds tune really well, but if you want it shooting its best you need to stay on top of it. Keep records of temperatures and what charge shot best so you can predict a load for the next day. If your able to tune at the range do it every night and load for the next day. Seating depth should be check and adjusted to follow the throat every time you clean the barrel or load ammo. Occasionally it should be re tested as well. Cases need to be kept on the same cycle and seating force paid attention to even if your annealing every time. The guys winning are willing to do this stuff so if you want to beat them you'll have to do the same.
I’m in on both!!! 4 years 8 months and I’m heading west but for now I’ll attend the tuning class.......I was just talking to Tom about doing something like this. The Chevy dealer in Missoula has big conference rooms we are welcome to use. Or you can just move to Montana and come to all the matches at deep creek which would be better yet.
Yes. It’s basically impossible to tune on the fly in f class because of the way the matches are run. The best you can do is to try to prepare in advance. But then again, the accuracy requirements for f class are little more forgiving than benchrest.Benchrest, would it matter?

We have similar issues as F-class. We have pit duty as well, at least at deep creek. The best we can do is load the night before with our best guess. I did the same for the last open match I shot. Problem with F-class is the quantity of ammo is so much more thats not fun to do at the hotel room.Yes. It’s basically impossible to tune on the fly in f class because of the way the matches are run.
