Nice work!
I was shooting my Creedmoor at 1760 last weekend with 130 Bergers and was holding 22 mils elevation and 4 mils wind 8-12mph, altitude density was 8250. I'm going to try the Hybrids in it next.

About 3 hours from me is Alma Colorado, it is at 10,500 feet and you can drive to over 12,000. I am going to take the lil' .308 to see how far it will go. Should be fun!

Just when I was feeling proud of myself for going 9 of 10 at 1200 on a 66% ipsic steel with my 22" 6.5 creedmoor ...

Nice shooting. Feeling inspired to stretch it a little further.
