F-Class

← Reloading A-Z: all steps

F-Class rewards ammunition that holds its velocity and its group at long range. Shooters typically run long, heavy-for-caliber bullets with high ballistic coefficients, often seated near or into the lands.

Brass and bullet sorting, careful annealing and very consistent neck tension are common, because small vertical changes are scored at 600 to 1,000 yards. Load tuning focuses on low standard deviation and a stable node that holds through changing conditions.

Single feeding means magazine length is rarely a constraint, so seating depth can be tuned for the rifle.
