During the 2010 matches in Brisbane, Australia, Bryan became the first American to win the prestigious Queen's Prize Match. Going in to the last day of the match, Bryan was in 60th place (out of 185 shooters). "The 900 and 1000 yard
strings were fired on the last day and the wind was heavy frorn the left. Using the Berger 155.5 grain FULLBORE bullets, I was able to make up the 60 places and win the toumament by a single V-bull. Being the first American to win the Queen's Prize was the experience of a lifetime and a tremendous honor"
Bryan shot a .308 Palma Rilfe, built on a Barnard action, Mastin offset stock, Warner rear sight, and Stallings front sight. He shot Applied Ballistics FULLBORE ammunition, which uses Berger 30 cal 155.5 gr Fullbore bullets and Lapua cases.
Just found this on Berger Bullets website. Correct me if I am wrong but 155.5 grain Berger's are NOT yet approved projectiles. Maybe this is worth NRAA investigation ???
Use of non approved projectiles to win Queen's.

John is correct. Because the world championships were on, the NRAA used ICFRA rules. Otherwise there would have been an awlful lot of upset International shooters.
