I am shooting skills division in WI. This will be my first match of any kind. It sounds like people recommend bring 100-120 rounds? I handload and currently have 100 rounds. I don't really have a need for more brass beyond this competition. Should I buy more?

You have plenty. As a new shooter, you're just not gonna have time to get off 8 rounds every stage.

10 rounds to shoot PF and confirm dope, then 90 for the match is plenty.

Man that is a tough one. Shooting skills, you don’t need to shoot the whole match but I would imagine you would run out of ammo. So that is up to you… is it worth not shooting g the last 3-4 stages?

Yea I’d just buy some factory ammo shoot it white your handled zero figure out the offset and update your calculator when you shoot that ammo or just make the adjustments mechanically on the scope.

I would buy more, if it's like any of the matches I’ve been to they’ll have steel set up to shoot before the match (on check-in day) and after the squads have gone through the course of fire the first day. I typically take 150-200 rounds for my match rifle and then another rifle to mess with. I’ve never wished I hadn’t taken the extra ammo or extra rifle.
