Can I have the 500 x .224 PPU fmj bt please?
-
I add a dollop of ammonia free car polish, plus a splash of white spirit to thin the polish.
Adding a sheet of kitchen roll cut into 50mmx50mm squares helps clean up the media.

The CSR match has been moved 2 butts to the left, and access to the butts will be via the markers gallery by Fat Tonys, rather than from Hobsons way.

Can I have the Vortex Venom scope please? PM sent

Can I have the Geissele trigger please.

On fixed parallex Leupold scopes, if you unscrew and remove the front ring on the scope, forward of the gold ring, you can then turn an exposed threaded part to change the parallex distance.
This seems to be a common thing done by HFT air rifle shooters to adjust the focus down to 13 yards.

206 Scenar 6.5 139gr bullets please

Yes they are. The latest version of the 550 is the RL550C.

+1 for the RCBS bench automatic priming tool.
Lee have announced an new ACP (Automatic Case Primer) press for 2021 with automatic case feed. Looks similar in design to their APP press. Part no 91610

With the ACOG, you cannot quickly dial elevation settings for different ranges, you have to use the BDC settings on the reticle. These may not match the ammunition used, so do not give precise elevation settings, especially at the longer ranges.
You also can't readily dial for windage. Some CSR shooters dial for wind, some aim off.
With an ACOG, you have to concentrate on which elevation hash mark to use, and your point of aim on the target, for 10 shots against a time limit.
With other scopes, you just put the crosshair in the middle of the target and concentrate on squeezing he trigger instead.
ACOG's are great for their intended uses, where you don't know what range the next target is going to be, and may need to shoot in low light, but not the best choice for CSR.

Can I have Marlin loading gate please.

I went to the butts years ago and I was also suprised how much space there was between the targets and the stop butt. There was plenty of space to park cars. I would concur that it's around 50yds.

Can I have the 10 round 7.62 AICS PMAG please?

If you do develop an app for plotting, remember that some disciplines don't allow use of electronic devices.
For example, from the ICFRA F-Class Technical rules
F6.8 ....No personal electronic device(s) may be taken to the firing point except timers and electronic earmuffs ...
Hence these paper based solutions such as Plot-o-matic.

The zero range is 71ft 7ins (23.86 yds) so that 1 MOA is exactly 0.25" on the target.
23.86 ÷ 100 × 1.047 = 0.25 (well, close enough). 1 MOA is 1.047" @ 100 yds.
We were shooting 1000yds on Stickledown as well on Sunday. Our markers said the sand was wet and wasn't showing much splash.

The rear sight is a Swenson. I had an identical one that came factory fitted on a new Swing mk 4.
George Swenson designed the Swing rifle, which is where the Sw in the name comes from.
