I'm in class 3 too and I'm going to try to link up with Nine Banger at Bozeman and at least share a car on the way from the airport. The more the merrier in my book.

I'll be at BZN at 1PM on 6/1. I'll get a car if anyone else wants to get there around this time.

50lbs. That’s right. 50lbs of ammo allowed in checked baggage. On most domestic flight.

I am in the June 9-13 as well (also my son or an alternate if he can’t make it). I know it is a long way off, but for logistics and planning purposes have a few questions:

1. Trying to determine if better to “rent” or buy a 2nd 223 for my son (he has 30-06 and 300WM). If I want to rent a rifle setup, do I need to “reserve” one? I have a Tikka 223, Rokstock should be here by then (ordered last May), and have a Banish 30 can that I can use on it.

2. If I rent a rifle, do I need to plan to buy ammo there, or would it likely work for me to bring my hand loads? 1.86 MOA 20 shot group out of the Tikka

3. I only have 1 Rokstock, my hunting rifle is my 6.5 CM. I plan on swapping the stock with my 223. Any reason that won’t work?

IMO you're going to end up buying one anyway.
They're not going to get any cheaper in the future.
Then you can sell the 300 and use that $$ to buy a
year's worth of components.

I guess real question is do that buy the 223 or the 6.5CM … I wonder if anybody has shot the whole course with a 6.5 Creedmoor?

.223 if you don't have one, it allows you to focus on the individual mechanics of learning the process and decreases a confounding factor. Plus, pretty much can't wear the barrel out.
