Varmint 300 RUM

[scope-eye]

I had Fun at the range this morning, I tried to do a short video but could not make it happen it would always move.
So I asked the range officer to take it for me and when he saw the numbers and wanted nothing to do with it, in fact he sent me to the furthest bench. Next time I will find someone even if I have to pay them. I had to put it 30 feet away from the muzzle to get a reading.

This is my 30-06 same 110gr Sierra I think it's a compressed load of H4895, The writing was smuged it's a 30" 12 twist.
These are older loads that I am getting rid of and keeping my new and improved ones for Fur.

You ought to tell your friends to quit shooting the dang chrono!

The RUM is approaching the speed of the Army's new tank killer impact warhead. You need solid copper though to hold it together. Call Steve???

Ah man that's a sore subject, I had just gotten it and was at the range when a guy asked what it was and I told him. He thought it was the coolest thing and asked if he could try it, I was reluctant cause I just got it but in they end said yes. He and his buddy's all had AR's and there was a little crowd looking over the whole thing, I told him if you shoot it you own it he said OK I am not going to shoot it. well guess what he grazed it and that caused a hullabaloo. I said you owe me a new chrono then he shot another one over it and it still worked, he said hey it still works I don't have to buy you another one, I said you shoot it you own it and you shot it. Well he did not want to own up to it, even his buddy's called him on it, I did not want to get into an arguement with an idiot with an AR. So there you go.
