This is a pretty cool little video of a Tac Match, if you're interested. I'd really like to try one of these.

Seems like most of those guys are running some sort of 6mm...


.243 with the 115Dtac is a tough combo to beat in those matches. Plenty of energy to knock down steel and is like a lazer getting through the wind. Combine all that with light recoil (or no recoil with a brake) and its only downfall is a short barrel life.

The concept I like in the tac matches is that only well placed hits count, the only time I have ever seen a group measured is in the event of a tie breaker the smallest group on a particular target can be measured. The single best group I have ever shot was at 600 yards making called head shots. The three shot group was right at an inch but it counted for a big fat zero since it was 2" left of the scoring ring because I missed the wind call by about 2-3mph.

Hunt hard, kill clean, waste nothing and offer no apologies.
