I got today and walked out side and figured it would be a great day to try my new pet load for my 10fp at 600 yards.80 degrees,sunny 1.4 avg. wind at 1/2 value,You know one of those days you can't blame the wind for flyer's.The load is a slug but the largest group out of 10 5 shot groups were 0.698,and the smallest was 0.440 so I figured I would stick with it.168gr. smk,fc brass,42.5gr. rl-15,2.800",avg. is right at 2640fps and took 15.5 min. to 600.Here's some pics and a vid

Damn straight, a very nice place. I would think I had died and gone to heaven with those conditions. If it wasn't gusting at least 5-15 I'd get hinky, turn around and go home!
