Attended my first club f-class match at 530 yards. I did ok I think, but definitely have room to improve (4th out of 9 in my division). Wind was about 20 mph in our face and started gusting to 35mph and switching from 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock. First time shooting from the prone. Shooting off front and rear bags.
So I have a few questions:
I am running a trued Rem 700, 280 AI, 26" Krieger 5R barrel, 1:8.5, Nosler "factory" brass, h4831, 162 Eld-m, BR2 primer, .020" off, avg. 2990, Es 16, sd 5.4.
I weight sort my brass, but haven't weight sorted my bullets.
Questions:
1) of course practice will help the most, but would changing or weight sorting bullets help?
2) would I be better served off of a bipod?
3) any other advice?
