.30 cal. at 100 yds.

[Dean2]

How many here has actually competed at 300 yards in an ML match?

Ft Ty had a 300 yard match for BR, my 50 cal Shannon UH with a FM GM barrel and Redfield match sights did not have enough elevation for it. I had to place a sighter target above the record target and figure it in from there.
The big bench bullet guns ruled that match not a RB gun caliber disregard RB ain't able for that.

Interpretation - Fort Ty had a 300 yard Bench Rest Match for Black Powder muzzle loaders. NHMoose shot in the match using his 50 caliber Shannon Under Hammer with a Full Match Greene Mountain Barrel. Shooting a patched round ball, his rifle sights did not have enough elevation to stay on target, so he put a sighter target higher up so he could lob the shots into the actual target.

He said the big bench guns ruled the day shooting conicals of one sort or another. He also says to forget even trying to compete in that discipline using a Patched Round ball, you are never going to be competitive.
