Ok so I'm looking at the Hornady Superperformance 178's or the Federal Sierra Match 168's... any thoughts?

That should be more than plenty for the 14th. The match in Scarborough is a Mid-Range Prone match.
COF is:
300 Yards 15 + unlimited sighters
500 Yards 15 + 2 sighters
600 Yards 15 + 2 sighters
You do this on Saturday and Sunday. You should have about 120 rounds for that weekend. New York is the same thing except done at 800, 900 & 1000.

100 yds with Winchester Super X 150gr
I think you will find that the match grade ammunition will make a big difference. We can take a look at everything and if need be make modifications and get you squared away and tighten up those groups.

heh, we had a "midrange" (3x600 Canadian Fullbore) match @ reading this past weekend. pair firing, 3x15+2 convertible sighters. slung up and in position for 39minutes each relay. was a hell of a way to start stretching for the season...my shoulder is STILL sore!
now if only I didnt shoot like crap. I still havent quite figured out sight alignment with the spacegun.
The Hornady Super Performance ammo shoots fast @ 2769fps (after correction back to muzzle) with a 178gr. bullet and it's going to be comfortably supersonic at 1000 yards. Looks like it is going to be a winner for Hornady.
Whoa! Hodgdon really nneds to offer that powder to the public.
I'm actually thinking it's one of the new Alliant Power Pro powders. There is some loading data on their page that has Super Performance type velocities. Cant wait to get some to try.

What kind of velocity are they getting?

We had a great time and I got a chance to meet RJ4, his wife, and XTAV750. The weather was cool but we had good chronographing weather and no rain!
RJ4 has some very nice rifles and we got a chance to see some impressive 200 yard groups from both the 6.5 Creedmoor and his .308. I could tell that he is also a very good shooting coach.
XTAV750 got a chance to shoot his new rifle and we got a solid 200 yard zero after some emergency rifle range gunsmithing. I think he said that this was the farthest he has shot before so it's going to be an experience when we get to Scarborough in a couple of weeks to shoot out to 600 yards. Nice job!

I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to take any pictures, but I promise to get some at the Scarborough match in June.
