Barry Sloe Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 This came up as a discussion topic this past weekend. What if I'm signed up as a FC shooter but I inadvertently load/shoot some smokeless rounds. Would that be a "P" for shooting out of category? Would there be any penalty for the targets hit with the incorrect ammunition? Thanks, Barry Sloe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastmaster Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 ROI-pg32 You are correct. No penalty for ammo part of your question. Next possible question would be; could you (if shooter wanted to) change category at that point to age base smokeless to avoid the penalty? I think you can but am not sure on that one.

Missouri Marshal SASS #50682 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Shooting out of catagory. 1st time = P, second time = SDQ, 3rd time = MDQ. No penalty for targets hit with the nasty smokeless stuff other than the shame and embarrassment of using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Green Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I'm far from an expert but I believe a P for shooting out of category, but no other penalties for targets hit with with the smokeless rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 This came up as a discussion topic this past weekend. What if I'm signed up as a FC shooter but I inadvertently load/shoot some smokeless rounds. Would that be a "P" for shooting out of category? YES...the first time...progressive penalty to SDQ for the next stage...MDQ for a 3rd time. Would there be any penalty for the targets hit with the incorrect ammunition? NO. Thanks, Barry Sloe If the violation was on the very first stage of the match, changing category should be an option if no BP ammo was available for the remainder of the match. However, the first "P" would stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoken D Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 It's a surprise when one week you shoot FC, and the next week you shoot Senior and find a 12ga B.P. in one shot. Whooo, where that come from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Sloe Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 Thanks for the replies. I knew about the progressive P penalty, just wasn't sure about potential misses. Oh, if you want to see WIDE eyes, the better half and I usually share a cart. One day she reached in to reload her shotgun belt and grabbed a couple BP out of my box. Surprise! She now keeps hers in a coffee can. Thanks again for the clarification. Barry Sloe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 sometimes I accidently mix my rifle and pistol loads--gets the old ticker working a bit. Gotta talk to my reloading and packaging guy (me) cr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
