Went to Camp Butner yesterday for an NRA Long Range practice day that North State Shooting Club was hosting.
They were using an electronic target system ( brand / type unknown - sorry ) and while it had some kinks it was a pretty cool setup.
This was My first time back at Butner in quite a few years ( use to shoot F-T/R back in early/mid 2000s).
Currently the only 308win I have barreled up is my lil 19 inch rig .. sooo I took that.
Winds were switching head winds from bout 3 to 12 mph. Out of 600pts. I dropped 32pts ( all dropped points were 9rings except 1 wide 8 ehhh ). I was happy with that considering the rig & load I was using.
One of the features of the electronic target system is that it shows Your velocity & SD at the 1000yd target / cool feature.
My 155.5 berger load leaves at 2775 w/ a 5 shot ES of 12. AT 1000yds. it was going avg. 1232fps with SD of 10.8 across 60 rounds.
Big Thanks to the Fine Folks of North State Shooting Club & The North Carolina National Guard!!!
