6mmBR Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 .30BR for score as it cuts a bigger hole. 6ppc for group shooting, no real point in trying to reinvent the wheel with that one! Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatzi Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Its all about group size at benchrest shoots. Some of the other shoots do combinations of group and score, egg, fly etc Of course its score only at the f class and ftr events Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1967spud Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 im well aware of that Hatzi but i was wondering which calibre would be more usable through the year at diggle as its seems it going to be a home range before too long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mole-e30 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Spud We only shoot 100 yard BR at Diggle and it is all group shooting, so if you are going to invest, put your money into a 6PPC. Seriously it's the way to go, 30BR if it was for score, but thats not what we do! Cheers Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1967spud Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 spot on bruce ill get a bat on order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mole-e30 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Spud Remember it's got to weigh in at under 10 1/2 lbs all up, no mean feet. LV profile barrel will weigh in at 5lbs etc, so be careful with the weight otherwise it will get swollowed up rather quickly. Cheers Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1967spud Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 i was thinking heavy gun or am i on the wrong track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mole-e30 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hi Mark For Short range (100 & 200 yards) the weight limits are Light Varmint - 10.5lbs Heavy Varmint - 13.5lbs If you are getting a gun built, build it to Light Vramint spec, the reason is simple...... You can shoot a LV gun in a HV comp, but not the other way round. In the UK we all shoot 1 class (due to numbers) HV, but most of us have LV rifles as if we shoot abroad, you would shoot 4 comps in a championship 100 yard LV 100 yard HV 200 yard LV 200 yard HV Hence a LV rifle would be more saleable if you ever choose to get rid of it. Vince wrote a good page on the UKBRA website about a typical build, but weight is really important, all my PPC rifles have the action glued in to the stock as it saves weight on action screws (every little counts). Feel free to have a look at my rifle in a couple of weeks at Diggle. There is a LV rifle for sale on this forum by Ballistol, £1500 if memmory serves me right complete with scope. Hope this helps Cheers Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
