Best Cartridge for NRL Hunter?

[doc holiday13]

Barrel length is a nothing burger. 24", 28", who cares.

I actually kind of like having power factor. Makes you focus on recoil management more. Appeals to me more than having a bunch of 16# dashers or 22 ARCs ruling the roost and its not like 45 rounds of 6.5 creed in a day is punishing.

45 rounds?? There are matches with only 5 stages??

Hey if you can’t shoot you get more recoil punishment and spend more on ammo

Huh? There are 4 shots per stage. Max of 8 if you find all the targets and miss on all 4 of the first rounds.

8 stages per day is pretty typical where I’ve shot. Maybe it’s more elsewhere. That would avg out to 5.6 rounds per stage. If a guy were to time out on couple stages that basically means you’d be missing half of first engagements.

If a guy found every target and continued to rush through missing every single one on first round and also got a second shot off, the max rounds they could shoot is 64 on a 8 stage day (not counting bonus targets). That doesn’t happen though.

Thats a impressive amount of first round hits if you're only shooting 45 rounds for the day. OR your courses are a touch too easy. Only match I shot, there were a lot of 800+ yard targets across crosswinded valleys

I think the venue closest to me is probably one of the easiest. There's usually a couple cleans on 1 day matches and the guy who won the 2 day there this year only dropped 2 points. It's pretty short with generous sized targets. If a guy can find the targets quick, hitting them isn't tough on most stages. If I shoot 45 rounds there on an 8 stage day, it means i had a tough day and im not good.

Could be wrong, but I believe that was self deprecating humor based around shooting ability.
