You got it. I'll bring out a baker's dozen ?

Out of my Proof M24 24" it does 2945, SD of 9-15, and ES of 20-25. 7 mils at 1000 with a .289 G7 BC.


I've never been able to get my hands on factory prime, I would love to
Try a few rounds!
 
Pretty much standard weather for the area this time of year. We're gonna have to batten down the hatches starting Saturday around 5-6pm. Who says holding over 2 mils of wind at 500 is a bad thing?!?!?

Shit, I’m out this trip. 10 month old just started antibiotics, can’t be away for 2 days. But if you guys want to head to Pala for the Sunday match I’ll be there

 
That stuff shoot slow? Some reviews I saw Said something about that. But as long as it's consistent, drop is always easy to compensate for.
It’s not the fastest, but decent for a factory load. My kestrel says it’s at 2786 after I did a mv calibration. That’s shooting out of a 26” barrel.
 
I have some factory 147 ELDm for you to try as well as the Prime.

I'll try anything you wanna share.


Found a roll of orange trail tape we can tie to posts to aid in wind calls.

Looks like i may be able to get there around 2 or 3 on Friday. Currently headed to the store to pick up a few t posts and some hardware for 1 of the Target stands.

Busy week and it's just started for me

Good lord!!! I feel like such an amateur. I "used to" shoot better than my Marines.

I better step my shit up.


Lol the rifles are doing all the work. Very happy with their performance today. Dope was spot on using strelok pro as well, especially with the new density altitude I input
 
Holy crap. Yup. I'm an amateur. I just use my kestrel.

lol I'm the amateur, I don't even owned a kestrel. The kestrel will be way more accurate than my calculation, as mine is a ballpark formula for people without kestrels. Whatever the DA is on Saturday on your kestrel will be way more useful than my calculation

GONNA BE GOOD TIMES!!
 
Anyone have the grid of the shooting site? I can't remember how far back the location was posted?
 
Strong invite dude lol. I need to confirm zero as well.

Those groups are nuts.

lol it crossed my mind to message you but since it was a Wednesday I figured you'd be at work, I left base early. It was a quick 30 mins post-cleaning zero confirmation. We definitely need to shoot at that spot one of these days.

One day left, Gents.

Remember: we're doing some trauma/medical training too. If you have medical gear, feel free to bring it and I'll be more than happy to go over whatever you want (hints/tips/tricks/etc.)
 
And..... Just in case we wanna make is spicy!!

Anyone have the "instructions" for doing these here "Dot Drills". I was having a helluva time finding them here.

EDIT: I'm an idiot. Already had them.

That should be fun, I have some homemade targets that simulate the dot drill but have a hollow center for floating dot reticles.

Also, if anyone is interested in shooting the AI, bring along a few rounds of .308, I only ordered a small amount and now I'm kicking myself for not ordering more!
 
All these things i want to do haha.

I was actually off hella early bc I'm on grass week for rifle range this week. Lol we will get out though

Been wanting to try this but don't want to put that much ammo towards it. I'm always torn.

Ah okay got it. Luckily I already Qual'd this year at division matches.

168 Outta work, just a bit less stable at distance.

I just picked up a box of Fed GMM 175. I haven't bought 308 ammo in years!! LoL.

And did up my reloads in these:

They fit my ammo perfectly

Any one have any 2 way radios. May be useful to have. Or maybe not idk just a thought

I just so happen to have two hand crafted masterpieces assembled by the most highly skilled Chinese labor. Honestly, they're legit. I programmed the standard Motorola Talkabout frequencies in there and they are crystal clear to a couple miles on open terrain.

cell service is spotty but if anyone wants my number shoot me a pm and a text. im headed out there sometime between 10-2.

im going to be pounding t posts, setting targets, maybe yote hunt in the evening and definitely drink some beer/ whisky tomorrow. there is a secondary turn off that goes right to the target / camping area you should be able to see my van but ill put a barricade with a target on it at the second turn off.
