3rd Time High Power

So, I shot my 3rd match.

357-2x out of 500.  This match used three different targets:  200 yards for standing/seated, then 300 reduced for prone and 600 reduced for slowfire prone.  Much like the Legacy match that was my first match.

Standing was awful.  49-1x.  Seated improved, from improved control of my front leg elevation via my trigger-foot under my supporting leg.  84-0x.  Rapid prone suffered from a change in ammo, to a box that was left out in sunlight and a different batch of bullets with different OAL.  Center of group shifted 3 MOA down and left, and the group blew out from my customary 3-4 MOA to almost 6 MOA in size.  Score on rapid prone was 62-0x.  Slowfire prone was 162-1x.  Took some doing to get myself back onto a proper zero after the fiasco with the alternate ammo.

Lessons learned:
- Don't change ammo through the match.  Use the same load recipe or retail manufacturer.
- Don't leave ammo in the sun.  It can contribute to variable points of impact of otherwise consistent ammo.
- The M14 does seem harder to shoot standing than the AR-15.  I really need to work on standing, more.

Goals:
- More standing practice.  Rimfire at 6MOA increased squares to begin with, then transition to centerfire using the targets we bought as a group.
- Reloading discipline.  Same brass with same bullet with same powder charge with same primer, to the same OAL, and take enough of that one load to complete the match.
