That Bob shot this well, and under the constraint of not picking your condition in pair fire, attests to great shooting and loading skills.

Way to go.

Bullet weight restriction does not apply in the US.

Congrats Bob.

Jeff Bouley just won the Orange Blossom Regional F-TR match this past week with his Kelbly .223. It has a 1 in 6.5 barrel.

Jeff also uses the Berger 90. These are like gold now because apparently Berger is only making them once every couple of years. They told us in a recent phone call, they would not be available again until summer.

Interesting the 7 twist worked very well rather then a 6.5

Congratulations, Bob. Fine shooting.
It is also worth noting that Greg Taylor won the 2015 California Long Range F-TR Championship with a .223 and Berger 90 VLD’s. Unless shooting 200 grain and heavier bullets, a .308 has no significant advantage over .223 and then there is that advantage of no recoil.
