Mauser and 9mm,
Yep, I stand corrected, you are right, the old limit a few years ago was indeed 3000 ft lb, it's now 2900, If I remember correctly, they changed it because there was a calibre that people were shooting, but loading the crap out of it to make the limit, not safe, so they dropped it 100 ft/lb.
Greg sent through the results spreadsheet, but I haven't seen any photos yet, other than the ones Kayleen took.
I've you've got some photos, please start a post and put them on.
I was on position number 3 at Gladstone, but I suppose you have worked that out by now.

szihn, We shoot target events over here in the Big Game Rifle Club. The groups relate to power factors, bore diameters etc.
Very briefly -
Group 1 Nitro Express, min 0.330" bore dia, min 165 grn bullet weight, min 2900 ft/lb muzzle energy. Common calibres include 338-06, 9.3 x 62, 35 Whelen, 375 H&H.

Group 2 Nitro Express, min 0.400" bore dia, min 400 grn bullet weight, min 3900 ft/lb muzzle energy. Common calibres include 458 win Mag, 458 Lott, 404 Jeffery, 416 Taylor and of course the superb 450 Ackley Mag!!

Group 3 Nitro Express, min 0.485" bore dia, min 525 grn bullet weight, min 5300 ft/lb muzzle energy. Common calibres include 500 Jeffery, 500 Nitro 3" and sometimes 505 Gibbs, 500 A-Square.

We have a lot of other events to cater for pretty much every calibre you can think of, except rimfires.

Regards,
David.
