Is there a deadline? I'm thinking end of April?

None of my 22 center fires shoot that heavy of a bullet my main gun shoots a 52 grain amax that would be my suggestion no bullet weight restriction

[Jolten]

What about a .22mag with a fixed 4x scope?

I say go for it just because I want to see how well you do. Go all out though and try for rapid fire on movers!

When and where will determine if I'm able to go. You going to load up the 6.5badger with a super lightweight just to show off?

Why a bullet weight requirement?  Does it really effect a persons ability to group 10 shots at 300 yards?  I would love to participate, but don't shoot that heavy a bullet out of either my .223 or .22-250.  Any chance we can remove that requirement?

There's a range in your velocity, where the shooting/groups open up linearly over the range.  So, a 1/4" group at 50 yds will be 1/2" at 100 yds will be 1" at 200 yds, etc.  It will eventually get to a point where the bullet has slowed down enough that it is underspun and the groups open up non-linearly.  So, you go from 1/4 (50), 1/2 (100), 1 (200), 1 1/4 (250) then jump to something like 3 inches at 300 (or whatever the distance is where your velocity drops).  Most easily seen with the longer, narrow bullets (usually the heavier ones).

It was a bet put forth by another member in a different thread.

Thanks for the explanation.

Great explanation.  Thanks for that.
