[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 1739391, member: 19988"] The top target was from my 260 Rem shooting 140 grain hand-loads. I did not know how fast they were goin at this stage it was only a educated guess. I have a 27” barrel and not a 24” like the reloading book says. Plus my coal is at 2.820 and not 2.800. Then I have more powder than what the book says also. That is a 1” target. Now LoL!! ( The bottom target )The sniper that was educating me was shooting at a 4” target with some 300 Norma mag he had custom built he said cost him like $30K says he shoots 5 gallon water jugs at a mile all the time. ( so he knows his stuff ) . LoL. He said he would help me shoot, and started talking about Coriolis, barrel twist rate. I was nice I promise. LoL I just told him I did not know you had to calculate for those thangs at 500 yards. Thanks for sharing. When we went down to the target and looked at what we both did, well he left the rifle range. My girlfriend asked me what I did? I said my homework. You can claim to be whatever you want but don’t you ever claim to be a sniper in front of me. I have lost brothers and sisters both protecting this grate Nation. There were times I have had to use my skills and glad I had them. But it was not easy. What I’m saying//asking is watch what you say, specially at the gun range You can offend my brothers and sisters deeply. [/QUOTE]
