AWSM Downunder @ 1200YDS

[wooferocau]

Hi , this is a thread i posted at Snipers hide a few weeks back, thanks for looking....

Got to try my NEW AWSM @ 1200yds for the first time today. The weather was a little overcast and a slight breeze but all in all , not to bad.
The rifle has exceeded my expectations....still playing with a few different powders , but even in these early stages its an awesome shooting rifle.
The S&B 12-5o- x 56 PMII is also very impressive, very clear and VERY usable @ 50X even with the dim light.

With a little more load development i can only guess at what the rifle is capable of....

Very impressed

Went out again today, as the weather was much more pleasant than yesterday.
Set up in a valley up the back of our place so as to shield from the wind a little.

I only had a limited amount of Sierra,s to try so i limited groups to 3 shot,s once i finalize a load then i will shoot longer strings. NOT worried to much about point of impact , but more on group size.

At the moment i am tryiung to decide on 2 particular powders....RL22 and ADI 2217 both are showing promise .The Sierra,s are shooting slightly better than the Scenar,s, which is a pity as the Sierra,s are twice the price!!!

Very nice shooting. I like that rifle. Always have, but never really wanted to spend the coin on one. Maybe someday as a retirement gift to me!

Thanks for sharing,

Nice shooting first thing I would do is get some better lookin shootin mats with less flowers. Good luck with the load development

Looks like some darn good shooting to me. Nice looking rigs you got there also. I kinda like the flowers myself.

Ditto w/Sniperjwt. Wide open spaces aren't common in the southeast either.
