Since things are slow on the forum in general and I did not make it to the range this week, here are some results from my last match:
The last time I posted anything about 600 yard matches, it was as windy a condition I have ever shot at. 39 shooters and only 13 got five shots on all 4 targets. I did but shot an eleven inch group on one!
Anyway, this past Saturday was a bit better with the morning being better than the afternoon heavy gun match.
We had 52 shooters and I managed to wind up 2nd in the combined group/score aggregate. I placed 6th. in group and 5th. in score. I had one target with a four shot 3/4" and one out to make it 1.8"
With the afternoon came the wind and my 2.5" morning average became 3.3" and only good for 8th. pl.
All in all it was a decent day.
The cartridge was the 6mmBRX which is the BR case with the shoulder moved .100 forward and the neck angle staying the same 30 degrees. I was shooting the new version of the Sierra 107 MK with the sharper (smaller) meplat using Varget and CCImag. primers. The action is Stillers Viper and the barrel is Brux 8.5 twist .236" and scope is Leupold 40X competition.
The reason why I often list the best 3 or 4 shots is I feel it is an indication of how the rifle/load is shooting. The remaining shots could be me or the conditions.

One of the top shooters with top shelf equipment --I believe he has a SEB front rest with the "stick shift" on it?
Well, he accidentally hit the lever and put one of his shots on his neighbors target and got DQ'd
