You can, by the rules, enlarge that peep if it helps.  Won't help with my right eye vision.

Update. New date is June 17th. Hopefully it'll fly this time. I'll keep you posted.

Can't wait to hear how the Krag does at 600!  Mine is pretty good at 200...

I used to shoot the 600 match with my 03A3 but for some reason the 30-06 is no longer allowed on that range so I need to find some thing that doesn't have the over penetration or range.
Forgot to mention, the rifle is an 1898 with the 1901 sight.

T minus 20 hrs and counting. Looks like the match is a go for tomorrow. I'll post the results tomorrow eve if I'm not too wiped out. Sunday at the latest. Mind you, I'm only going to report on the Krag's performance, not the match results. No one needs to know how poorly I performed. I never place or even show, but have a good time losing any way. I only compete against mineself.

Well the match went off without any hitches. The Krag shot ok, I think. Nothing to write home about but she worked fine all things considered. I didn't really know what to expect so I don't know whether to be elated or bury my head in shame. Bottom line, each string was 20 rounds prone, slow fire with a possible of 200-20. I shot her in 2 of the 3 strings. First string we shot a 99-1. Second string was a 85-0, but by then the wind was blowing at a good clip at 90* to line of flight. A lot of the shots were landing short of the target or wide due to the wind. I was using the "V" notch as target acquisition with the peep was proving difficult at best.
I was shooting the Hornady A Max 168 gr bullet over 38.0 grs of IMR4895. I'm thinking the bearing surface of the bullet, combined with the boat tail probably isn't the ideal bullet for the rifle. There's another match next month on the 29th. I'm going to try a heavier, longer bullet in the 200 gr range and see if that helps any. I certainly can't do any worse.
Maybe I'm just expecting too much of the old gal. She certainly was quite the conversation piece mixed in amongst all the modern black rifles and F class shooters.

I think you'll get much better accuracy at those long distances with the 220 gr.  Although probably fine at 100 or 200 at the lower velocities, I think that lighter bullet would be too prone to wind and atmospheric conditions at longer distances... where as the 220 gr has sufficient mass to not be as affected.  The bullet will have a much more arched trajectory, but it was actually designed to take advantage of that, so...
