Thread: What caliber are you shooting F-Open with?

I like 6.5 Creedmoor, but looking at for example the Seddon Rifle Range rules, it states:

“Ammunition that exceeds any one of the following performance are not authorised for use on Seddon Range:
a. A maximum muzzle velocity (MV) of 1,000 m/s (3,280 f/s),
b. A maximum muzzle energy (ME) of 4500 J (3,319 ft/lbs).”

Some of the Creedmoor ammunition could be non-compliant, so how a big limit is it?

6.5 creedmoor falls well inside those parameters man. Even with long barrels 140's are only going to be going high 2800's.

Well short of your energy targets also
