Have been in Georgetown, TX for 21 years now. Absolutely stay away from Austin. When family comes to visit and say they want to go to Austin, I offer them a weapon to take with them but refuse to go into that shithole. Love Georgetown but even it is getting too big for my taste. Real estate prices here are insane, so be prepared.

Most .308's can be very accurate, it's worth the time and trouble to work up a good load. Ask what the local winning Palma/Fullbore shooters are using and see if the helps.
What size are the 9, 10 & X rings?

Spoke to the guys I was shooting with, and they were using a variety of different bullets: 208 ELDs, 200.20x Bergers, 155SMKs, 155.5gr Bergers.

I didn't want to go down the reloading rabbit hole with 308, was just planning to shoot factory ammo for practice and develop a load for shooting animals out to 400ish meters (hence 16" barrel), which this load should be good enough for.

If I do decide develop the load further I'll get some better dies and brass, and probably try some 155 ELD-Ms.
168 ELD-Ms at 2500fps, in the 1:12 twist are probably at the edge of stability.

The 168SMK ammo at 2430fps looks like it's very near transonic even at 600 yards. Maybe I'll get a proper length 308 barrel at some stage.

My pistols without red dots don’t ever get shot. My carry, bedside and whatever other pistols all have dots on them. I’m not sure I will ever want to shoot a non-dot pistol again. I’m doing research to find where to send my MK23 slide to be milled so I will enjoy shooting that again.

PSWhat ever happened to that whack job on Scout who was taking us to task for wearing Bigfoot suits and making big footprints? He parachuted in like a maniac to say it was guys like us who were interfering with his serious research! And yet no epic thread post back then.. yes, I still own my Bigfoot suit.

…Zilker Park and Barton Springs, one of the nicest swimming holes anywhere.

Those were both staples of my childhood, absolutely amazing memories there along with Travis Lake! I wish I hadn’t gone so dang blind so young, I used to love how crystal clear Barton Springs was and wish I’d been able to learn to scuba dive there rather than the murky ass lakes around Phoenix.

Good memories, though. I used to love riding the train there!

Finally starting to get the rifle out more frequently now I'm doing less rimfire.

Took the rifle to an NRA shoot (FTR, F class, etc) shooting 3/5/600 yards, my dodgy 308 reloads and 16" barrel did well at 300 but fell apart after that, need to shoot some more to work out if it was just wind giving me vertical in my groups, or I need to speed more time tuning my load.

168gr ELD-Ms, Varget, Sellior Bellot (shite) brass, and ES of 50fps.
Quite a windy day with a variable 4-5oclock wind.

300yards, wind was difficult but group was .74moa tall including the first sighted I dialed down .1mil after.
View attachment 8785600

500yards, not bad windage (was a windy day) but vertical is 1.4moa, would be a little less without first sighter
View attachment 8785603

600yards, was really questioning my elevation after shots 6 and 7 so dialed up and ended up putting shot 9 quite high. Shot 6 was slow on the Garmin, not sure why 7 went low though. View attachment 8785604
600yards with some 168SMK Sellipr Bellot Match ammo, grouped well at 100yards but has an ES of 80, so wasn't expecting good things. A lot worse than 168 ELDMs in the wind.

.284 Win.
My hunting rifle is a 7-08 AI, I easily get 2800 fps from a 22" Mullerworks barrel.
But then, I have to fireform.

Any idea on the weight? With scope is fine as that would be one of my scope choices
