What is the average time you need to try and maintain per mile while rucking?

[@andrewmconrad]

16 minutes per mile

Sounds like it was fun regardless. I have to recommend that its time to make the investment. Since your going bolt action precision, time to buy reloading equiptment and supplies. Also, dont rule out 308. With a good bolt gun, the right components and some time to dial it all in, you can take it accurately well past 1000 yds with authority. Ultimate reloader released a video a few weeks ago where they used some very nice cases and a great bolt rifle to accurately hit a c zone sized target at a mile. Smaller projectiles are influenced a lot easier at greater ranges.

I agree. It's time to start reloading. I will rule out a 308 for this competition though. 100% a viable option for other competitions, just not this one given the other cartridges that are out there. 140 rounds of 140gr Hornady ELDM in 6.5 creedmoor weighed over 6 pounds. That would be even more weight in a 308 caliber based on projectile weight alone. For me dropping to a 6GT, it uses a 100-109gr 6mm (.243) projectile, so in and of itself, it'll be lighter, although the rifle will undoubtedly be heavier. What I'll gain from a heavier rifle shooting a lighter projectile will be more stability especially when shooting. The other option is to go with a 22 arc that's coming out by Hornady and those projectiles are 77 or 88 gr, so that's another avenue of possibility, but I'm fairly set on the 6 gt because it's used by a majority of the top shooters.

Excited to see the new build outs, congrats on getting out there and trying something new. Looking forward to the next one.
