So by these rules basically anyone who shoots a 338 will win.
Its not a very difficult concept to grasp. You only have to touch a given ring on the target for it to count, so the larger the diameter of the bullet the better chance you have of touching the X ring.
338 is 10% bigger in diameter than 308, thats quite a difference.
See.
I ain't fired a shot yet, and I'm having fun. Heh
Seriously though. I'm gonna try in the morning, if it's not raining.
If it is raining, it'll have to wait till next Saturday.
Good luck I hope you can make it to the range. What will you be firing?
AR15, 5.56.
1:8 ss 16".
Got some loads that yielded sub moa groups last year.
And a box of federal gold match 69gr smk that the gun likes.
It'll be my 1st outing with the trigger from Hicksville/Ground zero.
I look forward to seeing the target. Just waiting on a moderator to create the official submission thread. Younggun said he hasn't had a chance to create that. Thanks again to him for creating this sticky.
Just pulled a bore snake through it.
Currently zeroed @ 200 yd.
I'll back it off 6 clicks and send some fouling rounds down range. Then I'll find out which round is best in the headwind I'm expecting.
Sure hope the rain holds off till noon at least.
A clean bore shoots differently than a bore that has been fouled up (carbon, copper, lead if not TMJ or FMJ). So since your only going to get one shot with a clean bore, the idea is to get it a little dirty so you can better predict your accuracy. I have been told some military recon guys extremely rarely ever clean their bores to the point where it's 100% shiny.Don't call me stupid but what do you mean by fouling rounds? (I know not the right place to ask)

Sent from some where out there.
