Not a 7X?

This might be clearer. Zoomed.
In F Class, anything on a line is given the higher score, unless itâs way out

I believe the black dots on the scoring screen are not in scale with the physical size of the bull. The dots are depicted much larger than life on the screen, so a couple of the dots shown on the screen touching the X-ring line give a false impression that the physical bullet holes on the target also touch the ring line (when in fact that donât).
Still, 10 for 10 at a grand is damned fine shootinâ!

From last Saturday at Quanticoâs Range 4 with the new 308 build. Conditions were less than ideal- 45F with switching 18-24mph winds from 1130 to 1230 oâclock.
X ring is five inches, ten ring ten inches, 9 ring 15 inches, etc, etc.
Note that I forgot to change caliber back from .264 (6.5mm) to .308 after I recalibrated the target for the season the previous Thursday at NVGC and the bullet speed at the target (To the right of the 9).
From Thursday 3/6 with the AI AT with the 6.5CM barrel calibrating the Shot Marker.
From the following Saturday with the 308 on Range 4
On Saturday morning 3/8 much gave up after this because anything else would have been a waste of components. It was a semi successful morning, kind of.
New build, waiting for the fancy reamer from PTG.

A quick reminder about our event in two weeks. (see above) I believe weâre giving away two firearms.
Many of you know about the asinine gun law passed in Colorado this week. Also, our Chapter President was indeed elected to the NRA Board of Directors. Iâm sure heâll shake things up. Thanks to those I reached out to for his vote.
And now, for your amusement:

Picked up a new Schmit & Bender 10-60x56 competition scope for the long action 308 build.
And got the 223 build (with .183 free bore) together and have begun load development
Berger 73 boat tail factory, left. 85.5 Berger Hybrid, center. Berger 90 VLD, right.
These long pointy rounds will never feed from a magazine and will crash into the feed ramp or the barrel tenon with a regular sled, so I modified it with some .020 evergreen, black Starbond and some spot putty. Sanded the angle with 240 grit wrapped around a 5.56 case
Had my fabricator guy make me a small frame for my shot marker stuff.
Hereâs how it worked out:
Velocity shown is at the target. Interesting how much speed is lost from the muzzle.
These are 85.5s going 2910 at the muzzle. The muzzle velocity Iâm trying to get to is 2960 for these, but weâll see.
Heading out this morning to try out some charge weights.
Velocities shown are Quick Load Predictions. Itâs generally within 5 FPS with all the correct inputs.

That is some impressive shooting and some excellent hardware!

I appreciate the ability to shoot long range, but itâs not been something that was necessary for me. It is indeed something I might like to try my hand st someday. For now I continue to concentrate more on closer range shooting, although I could not pass up todayâs challenge - steel plate on the opposite side of the Canadian River Canyon, 485 yards away, and probably several hundred yards lower than my position. Iron sights, aimed about a meter high. Tagged it evey time. Decided to show off to my wife - one shot, offhand, also a hit. Itâs not often you can shoot off of your balcony after a nice sunrise breakfast.
This is our chef taking a shot:
There were some wild cows nearby who decided to leave after hearing the hits on the plate. We will probably round them up later this week.
The plate is a little hard to see, but itâs slightly higher and to the right of dead center of the photo.

I mentioned above Iâm a bit more of a close range guy. Youâd be hard pressed to find a place in your house where you could even shoot six dudes from a rnage of fifteen meters.

Ooh rah! Nice set.
I was looking at the new Trijicon RMR HD 2 but just canât swallow the $750 before taxes.

I had a chance to look at my target. Five shots - the first was very slightly short. Three were very close to one another. Most likely they were the ones off of the rudimentary bench. The hit to the upper right was probably the offhand shot. I donât think I could have done any better with my ACOG.
I know a guy who gives great deals for cash transactions. He gave me a smokinâ deal on my Romeo 1 Pro. Give me a week if youâre interested.

Those moving targets⌠I watched a video of a guy in Alaska that was comparing pistols and long guns for which would be better in the brush against big bear. 10mm, and .44 Mag were two of the pistols. Shooting stationary didnât help in figuring out the better weapon. So, he tied the target to a sled and has someone drive a snowmobile, pulling the target to him at the rate of a charging bear. There was a noticeable difference in weapon choice at that point. He hit the bear target in the head 5 or 6 times with the 10mm before the target got to him. The recoil of the magnum would not allow that to happen. It became obvious to me why the 10 mm was so popular in Alaska. Of the long guns, the semi auto was the only one that was feasible. Controllable higher rates of fire could not be sustained with anything else tested.
