There are no restrictions relating to magnums. Any caliber up to 8mm is ok but no muzzle breaks. The restriction relating to magnums is only a local thing in Mission because a couple of people don't like the noise under the roof and does not apply to this match and location.

All info should be up as soon as I get home in a few days.

Sorry but I wrote the rules for the match. There will be no restrictions on caliber with the exception of those restricted by the military for the range. Chilliwack is certified for a 338 Lapua Mag.

This match follows the ICFRA rules and then the DCRA. The restriction is maximum caliber of 8mm and no muzzle breaks for F-TR or Open as long as the cartridge/bullet combo is within the range template. In most cases the short mags fall within the template but some don't for Ottawa.

It is my understanding that the Mission issue was related to noise complaints by just a couple of people who complained about the use of short mags under the roof and is a local issue.

This match rotates throughout the provinces and follows the format established for many years.

We are trying to be as inclusive as we can for this match and not restrict anybody who wants to come. Short mags are an integral part of F-Open and many international teams use them. The 7mm WSM, and SAUM are very popular while the 300 mags are growing as people learn to shoot them well. I do not know of anybody using the 300 Winchester Mag in competition anymore.
