So this is what happens when there's some good conditions.

I looked at the PA club results for the match 10 and it's always a crap shoot there this time of year. Saturday just plain sucked, but Sunday, wow wow wow. Holy small shoot'n Batman!

9 groups in the 4's. 3-100's and get this.

17 of the 20 shootoff targets were all in the blacks, 7 in the group shootoff and ALL TEN in the score shootoff. Them's some score shooters!

Of the 200 shots for record fired in the shootoffs, 40 of them were in the 3" X-Ring. 137 of those were in the 10 rings! A 95 all black was dead last in the score shootoff.

Only 3 shots fell outside the 9 ring.

A 4.6" group failed to make the shootoff. A 4.8" group took second in the group shoot off and would have lost worse had it been in the score shootoff. :D

Is it really this easy if mother nature cooperates a little?

The main differences in group size on the west coast also seems to be weather related.
We don't see the groups you guys see but when the weather is right the groups shrink dramatically.

Very impressive groups and scores. What cartridges and calibers were more prevalent during the shoot offs?

The MT range often has good conditions and posts good groups and scores. They have become dominated by the 6mm Dasher over the past few years. Nearly all of the better shooters have gone to the Dasher. Same case, same specs, same bullets, same powder, etc. Kind of like the 100/200 BR game.

The first thing I did was to check out the results and it looks like the 308 Baer won it all followed by a bunch of 30's.

Most of them 30 cals are 300 WSM's....................
 
The conditions were ideal

Light drizzle, no wind, upper 60's. The conditions held throughout the relays and the shoot offs. Heck Wes Springman shot two 100's. One in the relay and one in the shootoff. The guns are always there- the conditions are not.
There are 6MM's that shoot well- look at Jay Berger who did well with his 6X47 all year- except once. But if you look at the standings for all year- 30's dominate because of the conditions.

I need to make a correction to the stat quoted by Frank. Wes Springman did shoot 100 in his shoot off but he didn't shoot 100 in his relay, he shot a 94. It was Kathy Saltalamachia who shot a 100 in a relay. Ed Kenzakoski shot 100 in his shoot off and he got high score of the day since his was the smallest group.
 
30's

The 300 WSM is pretty damn successful at PA period,however it doesn't get credit for winning sometimes because shooters don't update their equipment list!
The 2 winners on sunday were both 300 WSM.

As far as the 6 dashers,great cartridge,but I personally wouldn't switch to one when shooting at PA.

PA statistician.

When I checked your results I got about 46 shooters using a 300 Weatherby or improved version of it and about 35 using the 300wsm.This was goup and score counted as one so you could probaly cut each in half.Did Mr Kenzakoski actually shoot a 300 WSM? and why not have them update there equipment lists?

I think some guys change cal. like they change there socks, so it makes it hard for the Statistican to keep up. But Ed Kenzakowski does have secretes, but he was shooting a 300 wsm. The three 100's were with 300 wsn's
