Oh no, they all get taken to the range.
Been reading a lot about what you can do to make them more accurate and still keep them eligible to shoot " as issued " matches.
A local club has a match every month that i intend to start shooting.
In fact I bought a new Dillon 550 press just to feed...
If only they could talk.

Another nod for a 165 in the .308.
My personal favorite, the 165 Ballistic Tip.
I load them over H380, BLC2 and Varget.
Have filled a bunch of whitetail tags with them over the years and have never recovered a bullet.
Welcome to the forum and the wonderful world of reloading too.
I carry a Cutco clip point fixed blade knife and a Rocky Mountain pack saw for field dressing deer.
All the skinning, caping and deboning I use a 4 inch bladed Rapala filet knife.
My hunting rifles yes, one load with a good bullet for whitetails and the occaisional hog.
They all sit in the safe with an elastic gizmo on the rear stock that holds 9 rounds of ammo.
Grab it and go hunt, no searching for ammo
ARs, all get fed the same load
Benchmark and a 75 gr Hornady BTHP...
Nicely done !
Like most of the fellas here I have way more rifles than I need (don't tell my wife I said that though )
and the first rifle dad gave me was an Interarms Mauser in 06.
I've killed a pile of deer with it over the years and so has my brother.
The boring old 06 , and a 165 NBT. All...
Congrats, fine table fare there.
LOL.
I have killed one elk in my lifetime.
I shot it 7 miles back in a wilderness area where vehicles are not allowed.
Being 19 and a private in the US Army I couldn't afford to have someone pack it out with horses.
Took me three days to get that elk down to...
Thanks all.
Second biggest rack I've killed up there.
Joel, antler restrictions ?
I'm sure they'll help in the years to come. We've always had antler restrictions as part of our club rules though.
The outbreak of blue tongue a couple of years back killed an estimated 40% of the deer herd in...
Having lost our lease in Mo at the end of the 2014 season we had to find another one.
Ended up on a new property that's about 15 miles SE of original lease.
Most of it is cultivated ground, corn and soybeans with a few patches of timber and a small creek bottom on the SW side.
I set my bow...
