Question for you guys. Hope this is in the correct forum.
I am just about done with my custom built .308 for F-Class competition. I am thinking about purchasing a CZ452 Varmant .22LR to get some cheap trigger time.. I have read that shooting a .22LR at 200yds is pretty close to shooting a .308 at 500yds as far as applying wind dope and elevation changes. I guess my question is this. Do you think this is a viable and economical way to practice or is there no substitute for practicing with the real thing? Dry firing isn't my cup o tea. Seeing immediate feedback with rounds on paper seems like the best way for me to learn. I just want to be able to practice trigger control, hold, wind correction....etc without breaking the piggy bank.
