Rob,
At the event in South Africa, I seem to remember that the shooters had to use a local, somewhat unfamiliar, powder. How does that work down under?

From down under (at the range)...., the weather here today is strange to say the least. It is 91 degrees, 2 percent humidity with wind gusts of 50 mile an hour. I understand that tomorrow will be much better for tuning loads.
Everyone is having a great time so far!

From "Down Under"... weather yesterday was much more reasonable. The range is cut into a hill, like a bowl. Flags move in all directions at the same time with no apparent pattern or intensity. It would be very difficult to run your group in the same condition, unless you are super fast. Today is our last day of practice, everyone seems to have their equipment working and tuned to the conditions using the supplied powder of V-133/2011 Temps are in the high 70s/low 80s and the humidity is low (25-30%).
There is no shooting on Sunday, just flag set up and mandatory rifle inspection and verification.
People here are very friendly and accommodating.

On a personal note, the "teamwork" is amazing and it's nice to get 1:1 guidance from some of the best shooters in this sport!
Who all is on the US world teams? I don't think I've seen the list posted anywhere?
