[QUOTE="rdsii64, post: 326716, member: 13978"] The 14th and 15th of this month I will be shooting my first F class match. there will be two matches. the 14th is a 3-5-600 yard match. the 15th will be a 3x-600 yard match. I will be shooting both my .308 and my .223. My 308 load is based on a 175 grain Berger VLD so all is well in the .3o cal camp. My .223 load is based on the 50 grain Hornaday vmax. I picked a 50 grain bullet because my gun has a 12 twist barrel and I wanted to use raw speed to help counter wind drift. I have seen first hand the accuracy of this bullet in my gun so I am fully confident that the bullet will go where I point it. Since I am shooting a 600 yard match with a projectile that isn't ideal for that kind or range this should make for a very challanging day. If anyone has any tips on trying to hold the 10 ring with a 50 grain bullet from 600 yards I am happen to listen and learn [/QUOTE]
