Lead-Head Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 just re-read rules. ..8 rounds In tube max for empty chamber staged SGYup-wonder how many missed the rifle ammo notes. What did we miss? I think Dave is referring to the "no steel jacket or core" rifle ammo. Brings up questions about bimetal stuff from newer shooters at about every match. Question about how to check: magnet of bolt cutter....of both. Can they shoot the cheaper stuff at paper, but not at steel...etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAZZ Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 If anyone needs a place to crash, I have a room at the Holiday Inn in Bowling Green with an extra bed, if you want to split costs. I don't even snore much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWelborn Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 If a magnet sticks to your rifle bullet it is a match DQ. The ROs will have magnets at every rifle stage. Don't assume your ammo will pass. Some less expensive factory rifle ammo has a bi-metal jacket so check your ammo. Last year we had five match DQs for bi-metal steel jacket ammo. We would like to have zero DQs this year. Pass this info along to your friends. TKS GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpipe95 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Some of you from the warmer climates may want to bring a jacket After dealing with the crazy humidity and 95*+ the past two years I was THRILLED when I checked the weather the other day.

GWelborn Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 (edited) I may have missed this in the rules but what is the largest size shot we can use? Thanks. The rule set is silent on shot size. You don't need shot larger than 7 1/2 or 6 this time. Buckshot/heavy loads on close tgts that could cause a safety/damage issue will not be allowed.

bpipe95 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Anyone ever had "magnetic" issues with hornady steel match? I have never used it in a match before but have had good results in testing with it this year. I was planing to bring it to the rock this year but my crazy magnet seems to want to stick to it a little. Might just be the extra strength magnet being close to the case but I'm not sure.

bigbrowndog Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I am the RM, and do shoot hornady steel match and have never had an issue with it, easy check is to stand the round up and place magnet on bullet tip, and lift. If it lifts round up in air and holds it then its NO GO!! We won't have an issue with large birdshot but please no BUCK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan N Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 FYI, I just checked some Herters 223 and a magnet will pick up the bullet. I suspect that all Wolf/WPA would be the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Tischauser Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Just got screwed by the Redmond, OR TSA and have to spend the entire day here now. Apparently they are the only ones in the country that feel the need to open my cases but aren't smart enough to find me in the worlds smallest airport. So I'm gonna have to bail on the ProAm damnit. Just not enough time to get my work done and get ready to leave in 3 days. Good luck to whomever gets my spot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
