18” .308 help

I’ll start out by saying I’m completely new to this, but I recently purchased a browning Xbolt Speed SR in .308. I’m trying to get it dialed in for hunting season and am unfamiliar with the .308 caliber and it’s ballistics since I grew up hunting with a .270. I do not have a suppressor on my gun at the time but might look into it in the future. I went to the bench and shot my gun today and had it shooting about 2” high at 100 so I backed out to 200 yards and shot a couple of times. I was surprised to see that the bullet drop was about 4” low at 200. Is this common for a shorter barrel .308? I’m using factory Winchester XP 150gr bullets and the ballistics on the box showed that 2” high at 100 would be zeroed at 200. I apologize for my ignorance with this whole situation but would like to learn more about my new riffle and my situation.

Ammo Squared Experiences

I just came across Ammosquared in Nampa Idaho on PublicSquare the other day. Forgive me if this has been discussed but nothing is coming up here on my searches…
Does anyone have any experience with them? Quality/consistency of types of ammunition, etc.
If there is a thread somewhere on this, please drop me a link, leave the necessary insults, and let this thread die.

Favorite way carry to binos/kestrel/ammo?

I am looking for a setup that allows me to securely carry a few shooting related items while out hunting, ATVing, hiking, doing light farm chores, or some field shooting including:

-Binos (Sig 6k 32mm)
-Magazine
-Kestrel

Plus perhaps the option to clip on or squeeze in muffs, gloves, batteries, more ammo, and a small thermos or water bottle but those aren't essential.

Would prefer something with most of the storage built into the system so you don't have to add every single pouch.


Some options are:

Coat pockets (this is usually what I do now. Easy to change jackets and lose something, light jackets don't have good pockets. Not at all ideal)

Battle belt (usually don't have any pouches built in but would hold what I need)

Small backpack (hard to access while wearing, can't combine with larger pack)

Fanny pack (looks funny but it might work)

Chest pack/rig (thinking this may be ideal but don't really know which model or style is best for my uses)

Vest (casual wear vests like Carhartt don't hold enough, especially the binos, and I am not looking for a tactical or fishing vest. Something inbetween might work)



What are your favorite setups? And probably more importantly what have you tried that you did not care for one reason or another?

Thanks!

Lifetime moose hunting trip

Two of our friends just came back from a once in a lifetime moose hunting trip to Newfoundland, Canada. The two brothers spent a week hunting these giants and after seeing more than 150 moose in this infinite territory, they finally laid down their Leupold crosshair on these two monsters. Both were shot with a brand new Cadex CDX-R7 CRBN (Carbon Fiber Barrel) 300 PRC rifle, one at 250 meters and the other at an impressive 435 meters. The hard hitting 300 PRC dropped both moose with a single well-placed round!

These guys are pretty hard-core hunters and they claim this is the nicest hunting trip ever, so it tells a lot about this unique area. Congratulation to them and thanks for the beautiful pictures.​
