My favorite LR is Iron Sight Service Rifle Division of NRA Long Range. I like it because it is the most difficult shooting, thus inspiring marksmanship development like no other discipline can . The biggest takeaways are learning to hit the target when the target can not be seen, being able to counter for minuscule wind changes, and re-building the position for each shot with Princess and the Pea sensitivity for head to toe muscular relaxation. At any rate while I have earned the American High Power Rifleman Award in Long-Range shooting mostly in Match Rifle Division my average in Service Rifle Division from irons is just 94% so i obviously have need for even more development. Fun stuff.

It’s the wind that’s the big challenge in NRA Long Range Competition, High Master Classification level. Even the 6.5/284 will not assure an X ring hit when an undetectable 2-3 mph wind change comes about at the time shooter is focused on sight and concentrating on follow through while pulling the trigger. And, thus the resulting 10 instead of an X in a game where X count breaks a lot of ties, means wind is indeed challenging.

Exploring in the shooting field is a continuous improvement exercise from reloading, measuring your velocity Std. dev’s for consistency, your shooting form, your equipment, and as you shoot further, your knowledge and understanding of atmospherics with maths. Lucky for us there is a solid Kestrel 5700 that does the maths. At which point the inputs into the kestrel has to reconcile with reality of the projectile, velocity, equipment, measurements… hit the targets, update the gun profile… and you are back at reloading for a tighter velocity consistency. Each area requires greater precision, and as you achieve it, your predictability in hitting a distant target gets sharper. The better you understand the cycle, the less you need to shoot, but study your shooting and identify the next steps… and it will inevitably cost less too even though you still have to invest.

How many rifle barrels are worn out exploring reloads? A lot from what I have seen.

Every shot eats away at the barrel and hot loads will eat it up even faster.

Honestly not that many. It's not that hard to work up a load for most cartridges and then it's out to shooting and maybe tweaking the load here or there.

@@beyondtwominutes I have watched some of my friends when I shot PRS shoot an obssen number of rounds thru their rifles using 5 different bullets and 3 or different powders. Some even testing different primers. All trying to chase a 1/4" or less group.

But... but... working up loads is more fun than shooting worked up loads right? 😉

@@KestrelBallisticsyep, I get about 500 rounds out of my 6.5/284 before it will no longer be MOA at 1000 yards. I guess at that 500 round point it’s DOA.
