Benchrest What Caliber Did You Shoot In The Recent 5Oyd HAM Contest?

[Billm]

I’m trying to see what the most popular caliber used was. I personally shot two different calibers.

In the next one I would shoot .22 and .30

I guess the guys shooting .25 or .30 has an advantage ?! Bigger hole in paper and more stability in the wind I am limited to shooting .177 here in Denmark Trying to keep up !

I am not set on using a .30. I just got my Avenge XL sorted and would like to start doing some benchrest shooting with it. If the rules say .22 I am good there, but in .177 my only accurate gun would be a HW98 springer. Do not shoot that 50 bench for sure.

A 50 yard springer class would definitely be a huge challenge

Wind stability certainly, but hole still gets centered and plugged as a 22 to see where it "scores" by the app (and approximately the way I treated my look and guess as well). But against you I need every advantage I can get.
