Fullbore target rifle (TR) is a precision rifle shooting-sport discipline governed by the International Confederation of Fullbore Rifle Associations (ICFRA). [1] TR uses single-shot rifles, usually chambered in .308 calibre, with circular "bullseye" targets at distances of 300–1000 yards.
In the meantime, the .30-378 Weatherby Magnum had gone on to set world records in 1,000 yards (910 m) benchrest competitions. Earl Chronister, shooting a .30-378 Weatherby Magnum shot the first ever ten shot 10X with the first nine shot to 3.125 inches and the tenth flyer for an overall group of 4.375 inches. This record stood for over 30 years.
The American ammunition manufacturer Hornady got the 300 Precision Rifle Cartridge [15] SAAMI-standardized in 2018. [16] [17] In 2019 it got C.I.P.-standardized as the 300 PRC. [18] The .375 Ruger cartridge has functioned as the parent case for the .300 Precision Rifle Cartridge (300 PRC), [19] which is essentially a necked-down version of the ...
The .375 Ruger cartridge functioned as the parent case for the 300 Precision Rifle Cartridge (300 PRC), which is essentially a necked-down form of the .375 Ruger. Hornady acquired SAAMI standardization for the 300 PRC in 2018. [9] [10] In 2019 C.I.P. also standardized the cartridge. [11] The 300 PRC cartridge case capacity is 6.2 ml (95.5 ...
The group on the right measures about 7 mm and was fired at about 90 meters, which equals 7 mm / 90 m = 0.08 mils (0.3 in group at 100 yards, approx. 1.047′×0.3 = 0.314′). In shooting sports , a shot grouping , or simply group , is the collective pattern of projectile impacts on a target from multiple consecutive shots taken in one ...
The shooting is done at known distances of 100 to 1000 yards from the firing line depending on the format of the match. Some High Power Rifle matches are shot only at 200 yards, such as sometimes seen during specific M1 Garand matches, and Axis and Allies matches, although they are still shot from various positions (standing, sitting/kneeling ...
For example, a rifle capable of firing a ½ or 0.5 MOA (approximately 0.5 inch center to center of the two holes furthest apart) 5-round group (often referred to as "grouping") at 100 yards will theoretically fire a 12.5 inch group at 2,500 yards (0.5 × 2,500/100 = 12.5). Unless the group is centered perfectly on the target at 100 yards, the ...
