    Shot at 1000 for the first time, have a question

    Hey guys, I just recently got to shoot at 1000 yards for the first time ever. My rifle was a sps tactical in 308 using winchester 147gr .308. The first time I went out, there was absolutely no wind, and I was having a lot of success hitting a 2ftx2ft plate. I know 147 isn't great for 1000 but...

I was going to clean off the boltface today, and realized there was a lot of brass coloring on the boltface...
