[QUOTE="tbeckstead11, post: 1434388, member: 96338"] Little update on the SST. I shot the Rocky Mountain Mayhem PRS match last weekend. I started slow first day (I do that a lot, nerves I guess) but finished the day strong. At the end of the day I was in the top 30% which is great for me against that level of competition. Second day the wheels fell off. I ended up in the top half, but was pretty dissapointed in the way I shot. I checked velocity and groups with the 14 rounds I had left after the match and there was signs that the barrel needed some love. I chased the lands some and bumped my powder up to 56.9 grains which put me at 3070fps. Still shooting better that 3/4 MOA which means someone who practices that sort of thing would be sub 1/2 MOA. Yesterday I shot a local one day match and came up with a second place finish, one shot behind the winner. The SST is still shooting great. I had to chase the lands and bump powder charge on my last barrel (6.5x47) at 1000 rounds so that's a pretty normal thing. I still think the wind advantage is huge. I can miss the wind call and still get some impacts. In a sport where 2 impacts can move you 6 spots in the standings, it helps. [/QUOTE]
