First range trip with the new rifle

[TXLEO]

Rifle is a Remington 700p LTR .308 topped with a Leupold Mk4 6.5-20 TMR (and trying my homemade rear bags. two sock bags and a shoeshine kit bag, all with airsoft BBs). It was a nice morning with light wind from 6 o'clock.



I was zeroing the scope at 100 yards and had 168grn PPU "match" ammo. I'll soon be developing a 178 AMAX and/or a 155 SMK Palma load.

This was the best group of the day. I just used a target that was already posted so I didn't have to call a cease fire just to start shooting, so this group is just the 3 in the middle.



Here are some other groups







I'm loving this gun and can't wait to see what it does with a god hand load. I may also get some 175 FGMM or 178 Hornady HPBT to try out some true factory match ammo.

Looks like a good outing!

What range are you shooting at? Your location mentions central Texas.

That's Best of the West in Liberty Hill. It is about 25 minutes NW of Austin.

What was the temp? About 95? I thought I saw 104 for Friday.
