Gear - First Road Match

Anything not in the comfort zone, which would be home range where all shooting up to that point has occurred.

Gotcha. Well, the way I think of it is as camping trip + rifle match. If you cover both those bases then you're golden.

As far as match stuff I only bring what I'm going to be packing on my back for the day of shooting, plus extra ammo if it's a 2 day.

Weather gear as needed.

Your PVA prefit experience

Drbobinmo
My best 5 shot group at 100 yards with a PVA prefit. 6.5cm with about 1400 rounds on it. It’s always been a tack driver and still is. 2400 rounds now and checked zero before my match this Saturday and shot a group not much bigger. Have a 6BRA barrel coming tomorrow from him and have no doubt what it will be capable of!

212eldx in .308 hybrid cases?

Yeah mag length 2.830 for the 175s and a bit longer for the 177s.
I don't do 185s there is no advantage low BC for the weight. I jump to 200 SMK .715 BC, 208s okay, 225s better, then rhe 230 and .8 plus g1 bcs is where its at with 8 and 9 twist barrels.
The best powders are not always readily available.

22" 9 twist Bartlein 230 Atips 2600 fps single load, or put a long action on your 308.

The shorter the barrel the larger the handicap.
And 18" would be around 2800 to 2850 with 177 gr SMK...powder availability hurts this project...but there is always an improvement on any powder, but some not as much.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, and your patience. I’ll search around more before I get into it.

I’ve converted cases before and now have access to some high end equipment to make the job way easier and faster. No more neck turning with a hand held cutter and a dewalt, thank god.

All my SA stuff has mags 2.950 internal, little bit more room to put bullets where they need to be.

Looking forward to this project, your 308 speeds are right there with my 24” 300 wsm.

88 eld-m in .223 bolt gun

Danrobberg
I shoot cfe223 and have great results. Get hits out to 1000 at matches with it. People can’t believe it’s a 223. My chamber has a long freebore so the 88’s are loaded long. I had to modify my accurate mags so the bullets would fit. Can’t run tac worh 88’s in prs but I don’t care. I just use it for 1 day matches and run in open. I actually won a regional prs match with it last year, match had about 30 shooters.

So what is wrong with just using the Burris mount. Doesn't it align and work fine with traditional 1-6 lpvos, which I thought was the preferred magnificent range anyways? Is it solely the larger 56mm optics that's the issue?

anything over 30-32mm tube is a no-go. ACOG doesn't work well.

I use it with a clamp on with a 3-18x50 with great success - and medicore repeatability. Its essentially a confirmation of zero and tweak almost every time if you're expecting precision. Its a shame because it is capable of 8-10X resolution due to the screen having better than typical resolution.
