    Re: Spotting your own shots BEYOND 500 yards You are able to spot impacts on hard surface targets at 500 yards. Dirt can and will many times eat a round with little to no visual, add grass and it is even less visual. Put some steel out at distance and try?

    Advanced Marksmanship When to clean the bore

    Re: When to clean the bore Keep your rifle functionally clean, but with a fouled bore. Round counts will differ before you scrub the bore clean. Many say 300-500 rounds, I wait until groups open up. Run an oil patch through after range time that picks up lose carbon, copper and brass...
