Lower Light is metric of course, so they will presumably be the metric equivalents i.e. 700,800 and 900m.

[Batman]

From NRAA
Day 1 – Practice sessions then Match 1 - 20 shots at 900 metres
Day 2 – Match 2 - 15 shots at 700/800/900 metres
Matches will be shot under the current NRAA SSR’s. Time limits have been calculated as per ICFRA Rules.
The Next F Class Teams Matches are planned at the Lower Light Range in South Australia for:-

Is there a list of teams attending floating around ?

The S.A. team is listed on the SARA website, dont know if any other teams are listed on their state rifle association websites though.

One slight addition which is a step in the right direction is a blow off shot session before shooting on each day of the teams events.

Have you seen the weather forecast for the next week? The QLDers are gonna freeze. I hope for their sake. They are using magnum primers to ensure adequate ignition in the temperatures we get down south. For those QLDees who have already loaded their ammo, they could do what we do down south and push the bullets 0.030" to 0.050 deeper into the case to reduce the stochiobaric cold air mass inside the case and improve the mean dwell time. Of course those who are smart enough to be using a tuner will only need to turn it in 1.5 to 1.7 turns to compensate for the cold weather.

It is pretty cold in SA at the moment, at least the flies wont be so friendly at lower light if its cold

You sound worried already.... lucky you didn't transition to FTR as you thought you might in the last year or so....

No need for me to worry.
Our loads are tuned and tested at these temps.
Much more important is the fact that NSW and S.A are at the same latitude so we are zeroed for the same corialis effect, where as Victorians will be over compensating and QLDers will be under compensating for it.

Victorians are always overcompensating for their shortcomings.
