Nashua High Power Match – Mid Range Prone this Saturday will be a first father/son event for me.

http://www.nfga.org/highpower/2016_NFGA_Schedule.pdfpdfs/

My Son Jason and I will compete in different categories perhaps at 300, 500 and 600 yards. He will likely use his  Savage Model in .308 Winchester. I think his Savage is the 10/110 and it shoots 1/4 inch groups at 100 yards on a good day. I will be debuting my AR-15 .223 with Nosler 77 grain Custom Competition Bullets in my first high power prone rifle competition ever dispite my many years of hunting and plinking.

It is likely I will shoot in the Open Class with bipod. Most ranges have forbidden the use of 55 and 62 grain bullets at these longer ranges because they tend to lose stability at those ranges. My 77 grain Nosler’s are slow at 2320 fps and drop nearly 28 MOA at 600 yards but are very stable in flight. I do not have a 20 MOA rail add-on yet but am considering one to give me more range flexibility. I will load up and practice this Thursday at Nashua. Stay tuned for my pre-match and post match report.

Good Shooting!
