I can vouch for the fact that Cameron and his wife Julies rifles kept this sort of accuracy or better during the main World Championship team event to help us win the World Championship. Now Cameron and Julie have both a USA Nationals gold medal as well as a World Championship gold medal with his rifles.

Hey Cameron

What Chronograph did you use in load development? What about some development tips ??

Ryan, I can only begin to tell you the sort of testing and load tuning techniques some of those FCWC team guys have been using. Its been pretty awesome to read on other forums. Totally opens your eyes to what can be done with quality long range target rifles. Almost to the point that shooting 100m groups with a varmint rifle and setting it half an inch high just isnt enough... Cameron might explain further.

G day you guys. I am still in the USA so I will not write in depth on load development. That said, this has evolved over a long period. Trial and error, swapping theories with others, forums like this one etc, etc
One thing I must emphasise, there is no magic bullet or rifle out there.
Trigger time is right at the top of the list if one wishes to succeed.

The Chrono most team members used is the Magneto Speed. I have never been a big fan of chrono's until the Magneto came along. No screens and you can test day or night. This info was shared around the team, this is why I love Team Shooting.

Just out of interest, we toured the McMillan factory today. Very impressive.

Back home next week
