Precision Rifle Match @ Hillside Shooting Sports

[jwfuhrman]

I didn't come up with the rules, the Precision Rifle match director did.

Both of my bolt rifles are factory rem 700's. Neither has ever seen a factory round. To my knowledge, no one produces match grade 7mm-08 or 243 and if they did it would be impossible to justify the expense of buying enough ammo to re-zero for this match. Jon, I understand they are not your rules , But please pass this on to the MD. Thanks, Jim

Factory division will not be changed. Handloads allowed in Tactical Division.

Hornady does make a Match 243, its a 95gr HPBT.

I see you have created categories but no classes. I take it that new shooters compete equally with experienced shooters? I am used to seeing struggling new shooters get extra help during a match, rules against coaching be damned.... (Cuz it doesn't matter in the end...)

Is there a reason why you don't just use the NRA Highpower Rulebook?

I understand it is a private match on a private range and you can make whatever rules you want, I am curious why you disregard rules that have been used for decades and thousands of competitors.

 

[jwfuhrman]

Again, I don't make the rules. The old guys group from Sinclair Intl came up with the rules, we just follow them.

Is there going to be a limit to entrants?

 

[jwfuhrman]

That I will need to find out. We usually have 15-25 show up depending on weather and weekend from what the MD tells me. Ill find out more tomorrow when we are back in the shop.

 

[shopgun]

Can I shoot my factory rifle in tactical class or is it caliber limited?

 

[jwfuhrman]

Good to know, thanks.

I'd like to go and I don't really care what class of rifle you'd put me in, but I'm curious how you'd define mine.

110FP in 30-06 bolt action using handloaded ammo. Would I be unlimited?

Not a caliber in common use by military. You'd be in Open.

Open

Tactical Class is defined as above (M40, M24, M110, Mk12, Mk11, XM2010). Remington actions or Semi Autos configured in 308 or 556/223. Bring it and the MD will make the final decision.

for the open class, are bench rests like the benchrest shooters use ok. and is there a time limit for the 5 shots. i understand reasonable, but 60 seconds with a single shot is a little tough. i'm leaning on coming to this shoot, but need to build some more ammo, so deciding which rifle to bring.
