Stop getting married then
I'm hoping i never have to do that again as it will significantly set back project 7mmStop getting married then
I long action/magnum I believe the furthest target engaged was 1257 yards, but further impact was 1184 yards. Wind was a bitch. I couldn't quite make the 1184. Dancing either side of it. Only one impact was made on that target by 3rd place with the 300win mag.
Short action I can't remember. Certainly Not as far!
Dunno about the other chap that took 1st, but mine is a fast twist tikka launching 108 eld m at 2960fps. Not as efficient as the other modern 6mm but it's just a delight to shoot. Just can't go wrong! Saying that I'm 1300 rounds down the barrel now and weighing up my options for rebarrel!

Brilliant effort
The wind is “problematic” on this range woth some interesting environmental from 900 mtrs (left side) as the distance increases
The 6mm perform best in the 2850-3100 Vo range depending on bullet used (from my perspective anyway )
Interesting to do the 284 win classed as short action - it always performs best in long action guise with longer seated bullets to allow maximum capacity powder space to be utilised
Looking forward to July and the next one
Yeah it's definately challenging! Yeah most misses were right of the target for most people which aligns with what you are saying!
I think the specified magnum bolt face for the long action class so that may be why.
Fingers crossed for good conditions and someone makes it to the mile!

The 1149m target was varying between a 2 & 3 mil hold right with my 184gr out of the 284 doing circa 2810fps. I doubt I'd have gotten that far in the actual competition even if I hadn't had the brain fart.
What was interesting was how the wind was kind of swirling round, up the valley and round the bowl.

On FB if you search for UK Rifle Series you’ll see the results and Long Action / Short Action breakdown of calibres used etc

There were some anomalies,such as 6.5-284 in long action and straight 284 in short action.

284 can be either long or short action dependant on the reamer / throater used
It’s mainly designated long action - every rifle I’ve ever built using the 284 patent case be that 6.5/284, 284 Win ans 284 Shehane have been on long rifle actions
The oal of each of these has way exceeded 2.850” (for instance) of a short action AICS mag

Aye, I've wondered if they're more designating on bolt face.
7mm SAUM built on short action.
What class will that be?
