July 30

Decided to shoot the Creedmore match ammo I pre-ordered in the National Trophy Individual match today. The spec sheet had performance data virtually identical to my usual handloads. Spec sheets LIE. While it's nearly the same at 200 yards, it's 3 MOA low at 300 and 600 compared to my normal rounds. That's something you can't correct for during rapid fire. I had a nice tight group... At the bottom of the target frame. No way to recover from six misses. I think I have it figured out for tomorrow's Hearst Doubles match. Crossing my fingers.

Here are two photos. One of me setting up to score at the 200 yard line, and another in the pits for 300 and 600.
