We have plenty of difficult games, so I'm going to make this one easy....
This game will require that you shoot cheap bulk type ammo, and leave the high priced designer ammo in the box.....
The Rules....
1. Any SuperStock Bolt Action compliant rifle, any optics up to 36X, No Lazer devices.
2. Sandbags, rolled up beach towel, factory rest, whatever you like to shoot from with the only exception being a Ransome Rest, or any other type that locks the rifle into a perminate possition.
3. All targets will be shot with 4 - 4 round groups, plus 4 measuring shots that must be clearly sepperate from the groups. All 4 groups and measuring shots MUST be on the same card, and shot at the same time, on the same day.
4. All target submissions must be current, and shot for this game, in other words, no digging up old targets and submitting them for approval.
There will be two catagories for qualification....and scoring will be on an average of all 4 groups.......
Catagory #1 - must be shot from 50 yards with a total average not to exceed .750" (3/4")
Catagory #2 - must be shot from 25 yards with a total average not to exceed .500" (1/2")
Now comes the tricky part......
You must shoot cheap bulk grade ammo.....the cheaper, the better......anything you can find for $20.00 per brick or less....(this rule will be modified as the price of ammo is very unstable, and constantly increasing)
Here's a list of some to give you an idea for which the spirit of this game is intended.......

Eley Sport & Remington-Eley Standard Target will be the high water mark
All ammunition has been chosen based on the current retail price per 50 round count from the following sources....Champion Shooters, Midway USA, and Natchez Shooter's Supply
The "NO" list
Includes but is not limited too.....
Anything from SK, Wolf, RWS, Lapua, CCI...(with the obvious exception of Blazers), all Fiocchi not listed above, Aquila Golden Eagle's, Super Maximum, all Eley and Remington-Eley not listed above, PMC Match Pistol or Match Rifle, and anything from the Federal Gold Metal line.
All target submissions MUST include the ammo used, if you have a cheap grade of ammo not listed, please include the fair market value of that ammo when submitting your target. If you are not sure, ask first before shooting the game. This does not allow those who happen to find a premium grade of ammo being sold at a gun show, or remotely located gun shop for bargin prices, to use that ammo in this game. Remember the "SPIRIT" of this game is to use bulk grade ammo, there are plenty of other games here where you can use the premium grade Ammo...just not here....!
Scoring your targets.....
Using standard calipers and standard measurements...(no metrics please)....include the size of each measuring shot, and the total average used for subtraction. Include the outside to outside measurement of all 4 groups with the subtractor, and the total center to center measurement. Then add all 4 groups, divide by 4, and include your group average. Scan or photograph your target, then up load it to any one of the free photo hosting sites in a size reasonable for use on a message board....(640 X 800), then link it to your post. You may also include any other information concerning the conditions, what you had to do to your rifle to get it to shoot the cheap stuff, the fact that it was your wife's birthday, but you went shooting anyway.....etc...etc.....
Software programs such as "ontarget" or any others like it are not to be used for measuring targets for this game. Digital or dial calipers are the only accepted form of measurements allowed.
You may enter this Challenge as many times as you like with different rifles, and you may enter the same rifle as many times as you like, but each entry must be shot with a different brand and/or type of ammo.
New Twist added......
The "RE-SHOOT" rule.......if you are not happy with, or feel you can do better on any one of your entries, then you may shoot it again with the same type of ammo. When submitting the re-shot target you must indicate on that target that it is a re-shoot. I will change your original score to reflect the new & improved score and place (RS) next to it to indicate that it was a re-shot score. For those with limited access to the ammo on the list here, this will give you continued oppertunities to keep shooting in the Cheap Ammo Challenge.....
Now grab that box of junk ammo, and go have some fun........:bthumb:
