[redwingshooter]

How long do these usually take? I know it will be dependent on how many people show up but just an average guess would be nice. Just wanting to kind of plan my day on Saturday if I decide to try this out. Also what would the approximate round count be? Thanks!

125 rounds IF you don't miss. Bring 250

2:00 ish would be a safe bet

Fun match!!!!!

For those in our squad......when we got Chloe's rifle home we found out it has a bullet stuck in the barrel. I am really curious if it fired out of battery or if the case was just weak and blew out. She is still a bit shook up about it.

 

[Litlratt]

Glad to hear that Chloe and the RO were both OK.
I seen the pictures of the centerfire round that detonated after hitting the ground and have a hard time believing that a rock dented the primer.
Was it during unload and show clear or a result of a jam?

 

[DialTone301]

I think it was the result of a jam. Her rifle started double feeding and got progressively worse the more she shot even with different mags. She thinks the case blew out during her string of fire but she is not sure If she was shooting or racking the bolt to clear a jam. It definitely was not during unloading.

The round that went off hitting a rock was really strange. I was standing right behind the RO running the kindle and it took us all a few seconds to understand what had happened.
