98Z5V Posted November 14, 2020 Author Report Posted November 14, 2020 I just talked to @JBMatt - he does have the EGW 30MOA rail coming, and I think he just picked up that badass Athlon Cronos scope... Oh shiit, on me... Went to work on some Win Mag brass. Figured I'd see how many projectiles I have on hand... Uh oh... 49 projectiles. Checked on my primers... Damn... 26 of those. 2 mags loaded in the ammo box, and about 20 rounds in a bag in there... Looks like I'll be talking about 60 rounds for this one, unless I can find a box of primers and projectiles this week. I told Matt that it's not me vs him - it's me vs steel, alot of land in between, and his mad shiit-talking over my shoulder whilst I'm engaging this target...
Rsquared Posted November 14, 2020 Report Posted November 14, 2020 This sounds like a job for the MRAD next fall shoot. I'm already pumped for it.

I'd like to see that certification that you have. Come out here and see it with your own eyes - and binos, Mack. I guarantee we're making this a regular thing out here now. Once we get good at it - really good at it - and have our dope and guns dialed for this particular setup, then we'll start heading out there intentionally on windy days, to learn even more. I do hope to go there but it is not possible this year

Boy, I sure hope you have a valid ID by then. You could always mail it out so Kate will have something to shoot....we know she’ll be there.

DNP Posted November 14, 2020 Report Posted November 14, 2020 That’s not fair, you had good reason to stay. I just had to take the easy shot.

unforgiven Posted November 14, 2020 Report Posted November 14, 2020 That was outstanding shooting brother

98Z5V Posted November 15, 2020 Author Report Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) Oh, this just keeps getting better... I think I directly stated that it was all about shiit-talking, and now we're rounding up more people in the shiit-talking - and it's GREAT!!! I'll go load up my 49 rounds now - wait... that's how many projectiles I had. Oh, I'll load up my 26 rounds now, because that's all the primers I had. I struck out today finding either primers or projectiles. BUT!!! I have 13lbs of RL-22 powder!!! Didn't see this reloading trainwreck coming, because I wasn't paying attention, when I should have been paying attention... Edited November 15, 2020 by 98Z5V

98Z5V Posted November 21, 2020 Author Report Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) This goes down tomorrow. Took the day off work, so we can get out there and make this proper. What turned into a shoot for a guy that fixed his .308AR recoil system problems, during the Fall Shoot - and was prevented from shooting the 450 at night, THEN... Has morphed into this... "Let's throw down a shoot, right after dark, so he can pull this off - because his gun works now... - dark is 6pm, so we won't be out there long... " PLUS, who knew the off-set Long Distance Range 850 target was exactly 1.00-something miles from CAMP?! Well, we learned it that day, and I didn't bring a 1-mile gun to the Shoot - because we weren't gonna shoot 1-mile during the shoot... It all goes down tomorrow. We decided we're staying the night, too - light. Just tents, no heavy equipment. Fire ban here in AZ was lifted just a couple days after the Fall Shoot - so we'll have a RAGIN' campfire out there for this one... in memory of the Fall Shoot Campfires that couldn't happen...

blue109 Posted November 21, 2020 Report Posted November 21, 2020 I have a qual range today way the hell out at the 3points range west of tucson. Our trainer flew in from texas yesterday. I was trying to convince him to drive a little further and move our qual up to the SDTF to see the shenanigans😄 Almost had him thinking about it but the old guys didnt want to drive that far.

Or to keep it cheaper, morale patches! You just got my brain turning. A 308AR SDTF patch with add on rockers for 800, 1000, 1200, 1mile, night shoot, high angle. damn...im going to look into this lol.
