Thanks, them Marines are hard to beat. Have you ever joined our matches? I guess you might be under 10 feet of snow now though.

Thank you again. Izzy. I did shoot the 50 but didn't get around to posting my targets. Pretty sure I would have got smoked anyway. Looking forward to this month.

are you allowed to use 2 different rifles?
1 for scoped and 1 for iron sights?

Absolutely.. I use 3 rifles myself.

Hey all this is my first time trying the rimfire match. I just shot this today. It was doing great until it came time for the scoring shooting. Oh well. Maybe a nother day.

Welcome to the matches and thanks for posting your target. I scored it a 76@ 50 yds. Keep shooting with us and you will see your accuracy improve, not bad for the first try.

It's been warm, so snowshoes were only barely needed to get into the range and shoot. I can't complain about the weather -- it was 64 degrees there (an astonishingly nice day for March).

(Everything shot with my Savage TR using SK Standard+ ammo -- same as Wolf Match).

50 Yard Scoped: 85



Those 7's are killers. I shot two of 50 yard targets (the other was an 84) and I was a lot happier with them than the 100 yard target:

100 Yard Scoped: 52



Because everything takes longer than you think it should, I only shot one 100 yard target, and I'd love to sneak out for an hour so to try and beat it. Sadly, the dreaming and the doing are two different beasts.

Because I didn't want to haul the equivalent of a small pickup truck up there, I kept the gear limited; the Savage TR, Millett "Tactical" 4x-16x scope, bipod and small shooting glove for the rear rest.

I've been playing with the Strelok ballistics software on my android phone, and naturally, the numbers don't come close to matching my dope.

Glad I could enter this month, and hope the worst weather is over.

Shot the scoped targets today. Shot the Zastava Z5 with Simmons 3-9x scope and Federal 711B ammo for the 25yd scoped target. Score 92-5X. Shot the Marlin 925M with Weaver 6.5-20x scope (set at 16X) and CCI Maxi-Mag ammo for the 50 yd scoped target. Score 78-2x. Shot the Savage BTVS with Vortex 8-32x scope and Hornady 17gr ammo for the 100yd scoped target. Score 60. Shooting conditions couldn't have been better. Overcast, 50 degrees and 2mph wind.

TCWriter, nice shooting on that 50yd scoped target. Just 2 itsy-bitsy fliers. I shot a 4 and two 7s. Pulled them I'm sure, not the ammo.

[TCWriter]

Thanks. I forgot about the 25 yard target, but probably won't shoot one of those this time.

You've certainly given me something to chase with that 100 yard target -- I better print a couple before I go.

Just wondering what you use for your BC for the SK std +. I have the strelok also, but it seems to be pretty close for me.

I found a couple references to a BC of .131 for Wolf Match, which is the same as SK Standard+. What are you using?

What I really need to do is get my steel measure out there and make sure their 50 yard and 100 yard target stands are actually 50 and 100 yards.

Then I'll start messing with the software a little more seriously.

Im using .129 for sk std +. last time i checked drop at 100 yds for a 50 yd zero was about 7 moa. Its close but i dont think it will x-ring a target just using the calculator. Ive found that you still need some fine tuning to get it right on. Works well for getting on pap er at long distances w/ high power rifle. But i dont think theres a chart or calculator out there thats better than good dope.
