F-Class Ammo
Happiness is having lots of ammo… I’ve got some. On a limited budget, I’ve selected Winchester brass. Lapua would’ve been nice, but it’s simply not in the budget. I also picked a price-friendly powder in Ramshot TAC. The bullets aren’t cheap, Sierra Matchkings of the 175 grain variety, and I didn’t skimp on the CCI benchrest primers either. I’m hoping to send these guys flying towards an X-ring soon, well as soon as it warms up a bit anyway. The only thing good about February is almost nothing is in season and it’s too cold to do anything but get some reloading done. I’m looking forward to using my MidwayUSA Pro Series Shooting Mat this year too. It’s twice as thick and a lot bigger than the old mat, and only a little more expensive. It’s got some fabric pockets at the front for pre-loading a bipod too, which I think will help with consistency. If nothing else, I should be a more comfortable last place finisher with the extra padding. Post the new gear you’re trying out this season.

Just discovered your site and wanted to tell you that you can save some dough on projectiles by using your “Bulk Buying” power. Get some of your shooting buds together and contact Sierra with a bulk order. Also the padding in your new mat can cut both ways. Yes it can make for a more comfy position but it can also cost you added vertical stringing in your groups.
Keep up the good work here and if you like check out my new blog here http://southwestrifleshooting.blogspot.com/
