Sweet. I'll bring my little charcoal BBQ and figure some shit out.

So, I found me a RL16 load with my 147 ELDm that gets SD 4, ES 10, and 2830 FPS at DA of 4300. No pressure signs whatsoever. Should be interesting to test out to distance.

That’s pretty damn fast for a 147 no?

 

[clcustom1911]

Indeed it is. Both Reloder 16 and 17 make the heavier 6.5 rounds scream.

MREs make your body as effictive as good ole rocket man, who wouldnt want that.

the more steel the better. ive been wanting to set up multiple targets at different distances and actually set up a PRS type stage, but havent built the target stands to support yet. been taking a financial break from building my range lately. just got a batch of 250 rounds in and want to get out again.

Come down to the San Diego Precision Rifle Club monthly match in at Pala. It's off the 15 south of Temecula and . Last Sunday of each month we have upwards of 50 shooters each month. Steel out to 900 with plenty of targets. We'd love to have you all out! Members of the club compete within the NRL, PRS and Rifleman's Team Challenge

You coming out to the desert?

 

[Davo308]

You coming out to the desert?

I'd like to.

Can I make it to the locale with 7.5 inches of ground clearance and a few rifles?

For now I just have a .308 and a few K31's.

"A few" K31's?? Wow. I miss mine. Based on what has been said in this thread so far, to get to the shooting site, I don't think it will take much off-roading.

I'd love to go as it's 20 minutes from my house. But I don't shoot on Sundays.

 

[doctordoctor]

I'd love to get detailed directions how to get to this site. I'd also love to arrange another get together. I can't make this first one.

pretty much any veh thats not lowered is probably ok. worst case we can park cars IVO of the turnoff and bring stuff in trucks

even a stock truck ot mid sized suv crossovers should be fine


what type of vehicle?

 

[dspjaggar]

main


main road for driving. some parts further out have a little soft sand but its not very deep.
View attachment 7028014


foreground is the main road, background has secondary road that con only be used by trucks/suvs, 4x4 recommended for secondary lane
View attachment 7028012


the only real problem is that to turn around without a 4x4 you have to go ~ half a mile past the last shooting point. kinda a pita but manageable

If someone else wants to come out and play, I can ABSOLUTELY be out there Friday in the afternoon. I would love nothing else than to be out there from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon.

Man I wish I could, but I have work. Idk if I’ve asked this or not but are we gonna have short range targets? I need to test out my ar pistol and hopefully do some pistol shooting too.

I'm bringing a short range target stand. This exact one. Yes, pistol to AR transitions, etc.

Gotta keep the razor's edge sharp.

Well we at SDPRC always welcome new members if you so decide to shoot Sundays

[boomslang]

Looks like a good spot. I used to get out to +/-900 yds at a spot off of Dillon and Deception Rd, until it was closed down a couple years ago. Still trying to get my new setup together, so won’t be able to make it out this time around, but have a few steel targets and 4x4 to hopefully make it out the next time.

What other rifle/optic combo are you putting together?

nothing fancy

getting a cheap vortex diamondback for my old r700 .308

should be enough to train with at closer distances.

I wish CA didn't have 10 mandatory Gun jail sentencing. I'd have my Tikka 7mm Rem Mag out there!!

 

[dspjaggar]

If you have room for one more I’d be coming down from Fort Irwin/Barstow area. I’ve got a 45% IPSC on a t post we can place as close as people need, as well as another 45% that hangs off chains.

My AI is up at a friends place that had a side project with it, so I’ll be blasting away with my 556 gasser.

I can link up whenever everyone else is on the 22-24 range.

[slowlearner]

It’ll be a party. What time are you thinking on the 22nd? I’m about two hours away and am pretty flexible.

I’ll also be bringing the dog, but she just will hang out in the truck when we are going hot (still working on getting her to wear ear pro).

I’ll have to zero some stuff real quick since I’m swapping around some optics to come play.

 

[dspjaggar]

Winds projected to be 10-20. Hopefully more 10 vs 20....

Temps looking at mid 70s for the highs
and high 40s for lows

[RedRaider1803]

I'm all in. Just got my possum hollow bore guides in the mail so I can get a good clean and rezero on Thursday!

 

[clcustom1911]

IN! Ammo loaded, rifle semi-clean, whiskey (rye and bourbon) taste tested.

Getting some of these here fancy things too. I'm over the bulky plastic MTM type ammo thingies LoL

For my 6.5CR I loaded up 100 of my 147 ELDm's with my H4350 (2700 fps) and R17 (2680) loads on top of the 60 or so factory Hornady 147 ELDm's I have left... and a mess of Prime 130g.

If anyone wants to shoot a handful of Prime 130g, I'm more than happy to hand it out. I just need that brass for reloading in return.
