The 73gr ELD Match bullet has a great ballistic coefficient for it’s weight, and they shoot really well in my rifles. This match had an advertised long range stage with some 300 and 600 yard shooting, so I just simplified on one load that I had good data on. These are lighter than OEM magazines, and over the course of almost 10,000 rounds they’ve been flawless in multiple Glock 9mm pistols.Īmmunition – Rifle: Hornady 73gr ELD Match ammo.

There are many different motivations and resulting strategies, I tried not to over-equip and carry too much gear, relying on making shots count and that I’ve got stuff that works. It is both a physical challenge as much as it a shooting competition. It’s basically a 5K (or 10K) with guns and obstacles.
