kevin c Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Am I right in my understanding that, if I bring two different lots of ammunition to, say, the Nationals, so long as I submit samples of both at collection time at the start of the match, or, if I start with only one chrono'd and have to go to the other during the match, I can go back to chrono to check the second, and if both lots meet declared PF, I'm good for using one or the other or both?

Nik Habicht Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 That would be my interpretation. Folks used to have a long range load for standards stages.... Best bet: Check with the RM or Chronodude before the match.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EkuJustice Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) Is it the same load or loaded to different specs. If it's the same load chrono it once Edited October 3, 2013 by EkuJustice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Different bullet, different powder. I normally wouldn't do this, but one of the two lots of match ammo I made up is questionable, and my press is down (luckily I loaded well in advance), so I have to bring two lots to be sure I have enough.

EEH Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Just so they both make power factor,what ever it may be,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin, questionable how? Safety concern, or on the ragged edge of power factor? Talk to chroinoduded before the match, explain the situation, and see if he'll chrono your loads (unofficially) out of both your primary and your backup gun. Then shoot the gun with faster velocities in the match..... If it's safety -- look into your options..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 Update: Spoke to ChronoMan himself before the Production Nationals. His take on it was that I should submit one sample. The other could be tested if the second lot of ammo gets used and if so desired by any match official at any time deemed necessary, but that automatic testing is not expected nor done.

chbrow10 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Ok, so if you crack open the second lot, then you go back and have it chrono'd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 28. An initial sample of eight rounds of ammunition will be collected from eachcompetitor at a time and place determined by Match Officials. MatchOfficials may require that a competitor’s ammunition be retested at any timeduring the match and may collect further samples as necessary.if the ammo is in your possession it is subject to be randomly selected by what ever selection criteria the match is using . IAW appendix C. no requirement to submit more rounds out of a new box. However there is also nothing that would prevent a match official from requesting more rounds if they see you head back to your truck to get a different box of ammo after the 8 round sample has been collected.Chrono is basically there to keep the honest honest, just make sure it all meets power and you wont have any worries.
