Shooting in the desert

Recommended Posts

Went out Monday to our spot with my nephew and his GF. Did the usual targets at 100 to 300 yards. Had a 12" x15" x 12" box at 588 yards and a 4' x 4' peice of wood at 737 yards.

Highlights : 6.8 pig gun w/24" barrel hitting the box 16 of 20 times [110gr HP]. 10mm Witness 4 hits on the box out of two clips, took me 1 & a half clips to range it in [135gr P+ load].

300wsm hit the wood 5 of 8 times. Kate 2.0[24"] 14 of 18 [168gr bthp Hornady Match]. Katrina {20"w/Iron sights} about 50% using a lot of single loads with different bullets and charges. The Superformance does cycle. I'll get into details later gotta eat. BTW all shot off hand. Kate's 17lbs , Katrina's 13 lbs and the 6.8 pig gun is 16lbs but the Win70 is less than 8lbs.

Based solely on the number of gun cases in the background...  I think you and I would have a hell of a range day, should we meet up.  <thumbsup> <laughs>

Looking forward to it.  ;D

Don't hold it against me because I've got baggage !

Yes we do need to go out soon, possibly in Marana. My nieces'

husband wants to go and he is in Tucson.

Never, would I do that - I've got so many gun cases, I can't fit everything into the bed of my truck.  We'll need to plan out what I'm bringing, so I can pack accordingly...  <laughs>

I guess I could double-stack, but that scares me in these parts - if I tarp over it, I look like a drug-runner (or human-smuggler), and get pulled over by Border.  If I DON'T tarp over it, I look like a gun-runner, and I've got all the center of uranus ATF-Gun-Walker-wannabe's on my junk...  :-[

It's almost a no-win to go shooting down here anymore.  :o <lmao>

I'll haul the stockpile, however it needs to be done.  <thumbsup>
