Not exactly the most perfect day to do some mid range shooting but i have been itching to get some shooting in.
so here is the rig I was working with today. It is my sons hunting rifle. Rifle is a tikka t3x in 308. Has a fixed 6 power super sniper on it with the milquad reticle and .1 mil adjustments. Started the day out checking zero at 100 and it was good. Set the gong up at 300, dialed 1.2 mild and rang the gong 3 out of 3 Times. Moved back to 500. Dialed 2.7 total mils of elevation and went 11 for 15 at 500 on a 10 inch gong with a squirrelly wind. Wind calls were tough today and my shooting suffered because of that.
Load was a 150 grn nosler accubond, 45 grains of varget(thrown with an RCBS uni flow powder measurer) in lapua cases with cci 200 large rifle primers. Cases were new unfired. Ran through a Lee collet neck die and and bullets were seated to magazine length using a Redding seater. Nothing special about that load other then it just works. So you don’t need the Hubble telescope or a land cannon to stretch the range. I will say that 6x is about a low a power as I can use at that range due to my almost 50 year old eyes. Now to try to kill a deer this evening.
