We use hog saddle product's, and have had good luck with them. IMO, using a tripod is only as goos as the sling you use with it. The enhanced ss loophole sling on hog saddles webpage has some decent picture's.

Thanks for the input everyone. I will pick up some lighter bullets and go from there. Its good to know the limitations of this round for this gun as we use it as a duty round for our precision rifles.

Twist is 1-12. Ill check out that book as well, thanks. Maybe ill try some lighter bullets and see how they shoot.

Is this sold?

6mph constant, occasional gusts up to 12 measured with a kestrel. We were shooting in a cornfield with a dense tree line to two sides (the backstop side and the side to our right, with a right to left wind.

We have had really good luck with ours so far out to 700 yds. Currently im trying to figure out whats going on past the 700 mark.

Try using a sling coupled with a caribiner, hooked to your belt. If you bring the sling down the front of the sticks, then back towards your body you can provide some counterpressure and some find it more stable. The pictures off this link are what im referring to...

Ive gone down to Texas for the last 4 years on hunts and our group has used everything from slugs, 243, 30-06, 458 socom, and everything in between. Personally I run a 458 Socom with hornadu 325gr ftx bullets. I am having a 45 raptor built to run for next years trip.

Currently im shooting an Accuracy International AT 308 with a 20 inch barrel. Through work i have access to an AI AXMC in 338 lapua as well as two additional AI 308's, which im able to shoot every few weeks. As for type of shooting, I shoot some 3 gun and steel matches, but mostly...

That same day we brought out an AI 338 lapua and had no issues at 700. We were planning on going back to 1k but ran out of time. I have shot the 308 one other time at 650 and 800 and had the same issues. Consistent hits and groups at 650 yds and no consistency at 800. Initially i thought it...

4dof showed the projected velocity of 1591 fps at 700 yds, which I thought would be fast enough to stabilize.

Yes. Sorry. Phone needs bigger numbers.

Avg 2621 fps on a 40 degree day in Nebraska, approximately 1200 ft elevation

Curious what people have found regarding Hornady 168 Eld M ammo and the effective range? Im shooting an AI AT chambered in 308 with a 20 inch barrel with a vortex razor on top. The gun shoots really well out to 600 yards, then from 600 and out doesnt group at all. Last week we were shooting...
