Do handloads bump me to open? Everything on the rifle is factory.

Sorry Greg, forgot the divisions:

Divisions are as follows:

OPEN - Anything goes rifle wise (custom actions, custom stocks, custom barrel, F-Class support systems, custom handloaded ammo)

FACTORY - Factory Barrel/Action, can have after market stock, factory ammunition, Bi-pods and rear bags only, no vices or benchrest rigs.

TACTICAL - 308 Win, 300 Win Mag, 223/5.56 - Tactical Style guns (Bolt guns setup like Military style weapons, Semi Autos), Bi-pods and Rear bag supports no vices or benchrest rigs. Factory Ammunition only.

I didn't come up with the rules just doing the promotion. I'm working on changing the ammo part. No reason for someone using a factory gun but handloads and being forced to open.

338 Lapua Magnum is the largest round allowed, no 50 calibers.

I understand. The match sounds like fun. Just noticed that it is 2 days before my wife's due date so I won't be shooting this one anyway.
