Pleae see the attached flyer for the NSW Match Rifle & Long Range Championships at Ungarie in May.

Further to the information on the flyer below, the championships will be shot on five Silver Mountain electronic targets so you will need to ensure that your projectiles are supersonic at 1200 yards.

For those of you who wish to camp, camping is available at the local footy ground which has an ablutions block and is a short walk from the local hotel and only a few kilometres to the range.

To aid the organisers if you could contact either of the contact numbers on the flyer via text message and leave your name, email address and if you are planning to attend the Friday afternoon practice that would be appreciated. We will send out an entry form in due course.

If you have any more questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Hello Chris had planned on being there again this year but my former work threw a spanned in the works with a broken finger on my last week. Probably not going to be shooting for 6 weeks or so.

Also a huge call out and thanks to Mr John Dixon for spending all day on the mower getting the range ready for the Match Rifle Event. I am sure its a lot of time on the mower when you have to go back to 1200yards.

Just a reminder that this event is being shot on Electronic targets and require a target face velocity of 1220fps at a minimum. I have listed MVs for a few popular bullets and cals for an idea but obviously if your chosen pill flies like a brick, Id suggest inputing your data into a ballistics app to ensure readable impacts on target.
22 Cal; 80gn ELD 3050fps, 90gn Berger 2940fps
6mm; 105 Berger 2900fps
6.5mm, 130gn Berger 2800fps, 140gn Berger 2700fps
30 Cal, 155 Berger 3170fps!!! 185 Berger 2850fps, 200 Berger 2660fps.
Dont forget Swan Barrels are up for grabs for the class winners so if your MVs are a little low its time to lean on it
See you there!!
