Make sure that any ammo for pratical rifle has bullets that won't attract a magnet. Magnetic bullets will get you disqualified because the steel jackets ruin targets.
They magnet-check everyone's magazines before each stage now. No worries of killing the targets.
Also, it isn't the jacket that's the problem, it is steel core ammunition. M855/SS109 ammo is steel core.
You are correct in that magnetic ammo of any sort is not allowed. I was just saying that it is not the steel jacket (or steel case for that matter) that causes the problem. It's just that it is a lot easier to ban "all magnetic ammo" than it is to specifically ban steel core. Otherwise we'd have to have everyone cutting open their bullets.Wrong...no steel PERIOD....otherwise wolf bi-metal jackets would be good to go.
If there is any doubt, pull a bullet and check with a magnet, if it sticks at all, you cant use it.
Round count has been less than 100 the last couple of matches....
Eta: unless something changed recently, Tyros are not allowed at the night match. You might want to get ahold of Randy before you bring him out there.

This thread is ancient, NoOne was necroposting. He's been to the last 2 matches. Unfortunately I will not be able to come as I have other things going on that day.
Just out of curiosity, what is the cutoff date for the definition of necroposting? I'm sorry to have caused any confusion as I didn't know there was a date after which we were not supposed to post. I always like to follow the rules...if there are any.
