Ah,12" barrel length club is expanding in CSR WL.... just take a careful look at CoF for March-then choose rifle class and take enough ammo ...

Mine liked 69gn Sierra match kings with 22.5gn of Ram Tac behind it, loaded to max OAL but factory wise the advice here is good, suck it all and see!

Cheers BamBam, It is just the Lantac single stage 4-5lb match trigger, but would like to upgrade it to a Geisselle 2 stage tigger or similar at some stage, but see how I get on as it is for now.

This was pretty much the advice I was just going to offer. If you bought a ton of 69gr SMK bullets (for handloading) and find you don't get on with them I'll take them off your hands since I need to replenish my stock at some point.Dr.D wrote:Cheers guys I will get some 62gn GGG's and and some 69gn SSK see how I get on.

Also, Ramshot Tac is a good ball powder for 223 with 69gr bullets. I also like Reload Swiss RS50 too so just grab whatever you can locally.

Lantac don't do a match trigger with the OEM trigger bow, probably a modified milspec trigger with spring kit.Dr.D wrote:Cheers BamBam, It is just the Lantac single stage 4-5lb match trigger, but would like to upgrade it to a Geisselle 2 stage tigger or similar at some stage, but see how I get on as it is for now.
The new Lantac 2 stage match trigger looks like this:
