    First 3x1000 match today


    Shot with my Long Range build on an Axis action. First two rounds were shot with HSM 175gr SMK M118LR equivalent.

    Third round was shot with a buddies handloads lapua brass, 175gr SMK'S, with 44gr of IMR 4064 and federal primers.

    3rd round had the worst wind conditions, but the hand loads were almost 100fps faster making for less wind correction. I actually had to drop from 10.7 MRAD to 10 MRAD in elevation with the ammunition change.

    Ya I see why I need to start reloading now to be competitive. The hotter hand loaded 175's were a huge advantage over the factory loads I had. I would say they were on par with the ASYM 175gr match ammo I used, but the ASYM ammo runs $2 a round.

    yeah the reloading makes a big difference. Especially finding the sweet spot in your rifle.

    I was satisfied with improving my score in each round.

    That is the best way to do it. If you can continue to improve somewhere each match you'll be competitive in no time.
