2015 ORA PR Clinic: April 25-26 - NOW FULL

It is always best to use the ammo/load for your gun that you intended to compete with. This will allow you to insure that you have an accurate load and be able to distinguish your personal mistakes from poor quality ammo. It may seem like a larger expense at the time of the clinic but you are shorting your self on a great learning experience. I learned on a 223 and my shooting partner shot a 308. We could almost use the same wind dopes all to way to 800.(223 was 82gr bergers and 308 was 155gr lapua). If you intended to shoot the 308 in comps shoot it for the clinic. There is not a lot of time during the comps to learn and make adjustment, take full advantage of this clinic!

Well said. As someone who shot 3 different rifles last season I feel that I could have done better if I had stuck with one and worked on my performance. These clinics are great and last year's students did reasonably well shooting the matches.

What's the recommended mag capacity for this clinic and match?

From a single shot to a 10 round mag; whichever you have, and are comfortable with.

I shot the matches for several years with a single shot - it is a little slower for the 200 yd rapid follow-up, but can be done.

Looking forward to it. Getting my reloading done now.

Looks like I'll be working Sunday afternoon/evening. I intend on attending both days, am I able to head out early in the event of being called into work for the Sunday?
