    What are y'all seeing the best results with this bullet and powder? I know it isn't Varget but it is all I could find(well I found CFE223 also). Been looking around on the threads and majority of info I can find is with Varget or Berger 155 bullets Going to make a 600/1000 yard load for FTR.

    F T/R Competition thoughts needed

    If I used a bag rider on my savage FTR model rifle using a front rest, how well would this set up do if I wanted to get a switch barrel? I have a rear bag that fits my stock nicely too Just wandering thoughts on how well this set up might work for FOpen?

    F T/R Competition Thoughts on this load work up?

    Posting for a friend who is just getting into Fclass. Working up a load this morning and looks like it is going to be a solid load. What do you think the load should be? Seems like there is obvious flattening out starting with bottom row for 3 charges. Shot out of group on bottom left group...

    F T/R Competition Stock question for FTR

    Anyone using the Savge Fclass model stock? I am thinking about building a new rifle based off of the Target Action and getting a factory Fclass stock and putting a rail on it and getting a Whidden V Block for it. Just curious how stiff/sturdy that stock would be with a bull barrel at 30"...
