Why a 6.5 Grendel in a bolt action?

Congratulations!

Can you tell us more about the match?

It was a 50 shot 100 yard reduced course sniper match, simulating ranges of up to one mile. Some were police type with hostage situations simulating up to 300 yards and requiring .25 MOA accuracy to avoid penalties. I cleaned the whole 50 shots, no penalties scoring 740 out of 760 possible points, second place score was 690. The only points I lost were body shots instead of head shots on two of the four simulated 1 mile shots. The match was shot prone with bipod or sand bag rest but no F-Class type bipods or rests. A new way of shooting for me as I'm more accustomed to shooting from a sling when prone.
