300 SMKs from my back stop.

[royinidaho]

I had to redo the front end of the target holder/back stop due to massive sand leakage.

I retrieved these from the sand.

My problem is that any groups under 1" at the back stop (200 yds) the third shot of a three shot group with either the 338 RUM or 270 AM completely penetrates and dusts on the lava rock I have stacked against the rear of the back stop. That's pretty much of a bummer as I will have to fill the lava rock w/sand also.

These bullets have penetrated 3/4" plywood backed by another 1/2" plywood then 8" of good old Idaho blow sand. Really fine stuff.

Penetration is usually around 4 to 6" of the sand depending on which shot it is.

Nice photo Roy. Looks like they open up nicely.
My buddy has a 338 Edge that he has shot out to 2100 yards at a railroad tie and it'll push the 300gr SMK ALL the way through it

I hate all residents of Bikini Bottom, especially squidward. The nephews drove me crazy with angular bottomed absorbant bob.

Michael, they were shooting at a steel siloutte that I think is 24" x 30". They were keeping most hits on target once the wind was doped.
The rifle was built by the same guy that built my Edge. Longshot Precision Rifles-Conrad MT
There was a railroad tie corner post near the siloutte they were shooting at. The Edge will push a 300SMK all the way through a tie at 2100 yards.
Awesome
