[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 190934, member: 4785"] [b]F Class[/b] The International F Class rules go up to 8mm calibre in the US the 35 cal was put in so the 338's could be used in clubs on existing ranges and most clubs will let a muzzle break be used ar club level. Ok here is what I have A 7mm short mag based cartridge for 800 yards+ on targets in the same action a 6mmX55SMc for back to 800 yards and to 1200 in still conditions. Then for hunting I have another rifle a 338WBX its a 338 Edge improved with 60 degree shoulder. now if I was you I would have a switch barreled rifle made with a 7mm and another barrel in 338 Edge to use the same boltface. if you were to have 1 barrel a 30 cal that will launch the 240gr matchkings for game and a 210-220 match projectile on the targets if the 240's don't group aswell. I would also have a muzzle break fitted that could be removed if needed. if you are not shooting F Class only 1000yd BR with a light gun and hunting the muzzle break would not need to be removed. You have to tell us what target competitions you want to shoot. Cheers Bill Australia [/QUOTE]
