I want to do this sort of competition. Seems fun and something I could be well suited for. I found out today that at the 550yd(ish) mark I'm not knocking down the rams consistently with a 130gr norma GT doing 2465 at the muzzle. I didn't set them up so I'm not sure how they are placed but the rules (linked) say it's acceptable to soft set them. I don't know what this means exactly, can anyone elaborate? Is it like sort of hanging them at the edge of their platform so it's easier to knock down?

The problem is your load is either too weak or your accuracy is not sufficient for a solid hit. Looking at your velocity I bet it is insufficient KE. Try some 140's?
I wouldn't want someone rigging the targets for me or any competitor because it defeats the intent behind metallic silhouette shooting which is using a cartridge powerful enough to put the steel down given a decent hit.
