The 200/300 yard score nationals were held this weekend and a lot of conversations were had regarding the .30's. It was a resounding success for the .30BR's at all yardages.
200 yard leg was won by Clark Shen 250-13x. New shooter last year, switched to a .30BR this year and has won a couple of times thus far. He is 73 years old and weighs about 120 pounds, so that should dispell the excessive recoil myth. A few .30's were clean at 200, including Craig Kostyshyn, Henry Rivers, and others.
300 yard leg was won by Henry Rivers 250-something. Including a 4x target shot at 300 yards.
Grand Agg as follows:
Henry Rivers 30BR
Ricky Read 6PPC
Craig Kostyshyn 30BR
These were all results from the Varmint For Score class.
Varmint Hunter class was won by myself with a 30BR with a score of 493-10x's. Shot a 247-6x at 200 and a personal best of 246-4x at 300 yards. Conditions were fair, with switchy wind and moderate mirage.
