Shooting starts at 10.am don’t be late 🙂
Request from NRANZ – can you help?
Powder for Aust F Class Team Jan 2015
All club secretaries,
With the shortage of specialists powders at present in NZ we find ourselves in the position of having no 2209 powder to provide to the visiting Aust F Class Team for Jan 2015. These visitors can bring some loaded ammo with them, but not enough to shoot all events required for the Ntnl champs in Jan. In particular ADI 2209 powder. At this stage I need to locate approx. 3 bottles of 2209 powder (0.5kg) for the visiting Australian team. I’m happy to take part bottles if this is all that we can find.
Can you please circulate this email to your members to see if we can locate a few bottles of 2209.
cheers

Hello to all .303 shooters
This is the first of a few posts that will contain information on the upcoming Dick Travis VC .303 Nationals at Trentham 20125.
Please take time to read the course of fire and the entry conditions and rules. Entries can be accepted some time down the line but do give your entry some thought re accommodation, meals etc.
The 2015 shoot is going to be special if for no other reason that it is hard up against the centennial commemorations of the Gallipoli landings a calendar month after the DTVC. There will be a ceremony in some form this year to pay special homage to our mighty ANZAC soldiers.
Start you rifle and ammo preparation early, get your load development done and get those zeros. Remember that we shoot 300/500/600 yards. To get a zero for these distances you only need have a good 100 yard zero and a fairly good idea of your muzzle velocity. This is enough to extrapolate the required elevation adjustments for the longer distances.
The Sierra infinity program is good although any ballistic chart should be enough. For what it is worth a .303 174grain projectile travelling at the leisurely military speed of 2440 feet per second will require a point of impact of plus 6 inches at 100 yards for a dead zero at 300 yards.
500 yards is up 9 minutes more and 600 yards is up 6 minutes more. Works for me!
Any assistance with loads and zeros I am happy to help.
A good load is a Hornady 174 gr FMJBT with 42 grains of 2208.
There will be quite a lot of photos put up on the Karori Rifle Club website in the very near future so dial up the site and have a look at Trentham and some of the DTVC regulars.
Any queries about anything just email me

Match Director

The WRA have changed the format and there is now a team’s event at 900 yards on Saturday 15th November. The teams are for TR, FO and FTR and will consist of 4 shooters in each team. We can submit more than one team. They are coached events so you don’t have to be “good enough” in order to be part of the team…we have some very good wind readers in the club who will help.
