Hey guys,
Been on here a bit to check out classifieds etc, finally introducing myself.
Background, late 20's, Mechanical Engineer, long time shooter (since I was a kid with my old man). Shot on the rifle team in high school and went to West Point for states my junior and senior year. Grew up in Clarence, now live in Lancaster (both outside of Buffalo).
I currently shoot at a friends range out to about 350yds (always looking for longer), shooting .22lr to .308 and a few calibers in between.
I reload, and am "helping" a few friends reload as well. As you can see from the attached photo's, my .308 is a tack driver. That target is @ 100yds, with my Savage 10 FCP-K from the bench (bipod only). FYI, the load data: 168gr SMK, LC Brass, 44gr Varget, WLR primers, .006" O.L. Started at 42.5gr, ended that target at 44 and found between 44 and 44.2 is the sweet spot for Varget. Going to try to develop a load for IMR4064 as well, just because its so much cheaper and easier to find in stock...
Center target was for sighting in and was using XM80 factory ammo.
Looking forward to shooting some longer ranges this summer, but I shoot regularly over the winter as well to stay sharp.
