    I was shooting M16A2 1/7 twist barrel with M885 green tip and standard iron sights, zeroed on standard A2 25m target; shot the usual out to 300m with 3/8 on the rear sight and transitioned to steel at 400m, dialed 4 on the rear. Missed. Had a spotter bring up the sights till I was at 5. Hmm...

    Range Report Question about my range trip

    I took my 700SPS out today. It has a B&C stock on it. This trip was mainly to evaluate some loads. The Nosler 180gr BT was a little disappointing, but it was a starter load and the problem may have been due to parralax. There is more on that in the optics forum. The best group I had was using...

    Any long range rifle shooting near San Antonio, TX

    I was wondering if any of you South Texas guys knew of a range that has 400+ yard shooting near San Antonio. I used to have a great spot on 80 acres near Karnes City but the land was sold when my Grandfather passed away several years ago. Now I'm stuck with 100 yard ranges.

    A good day at the range.

    Did some more extended load development/ paper punching at a little longer range today, not LONG RANGE by any means. Heres probably the best group I've ever produced MOA wise at any range, much less off of a bipod and rear bag out of the bed of my pick-up truck. 309.5 yards 1.013 CTC .32 MOA...
