Have to brag a little

[Mancill]

I have not posted much but have been snooping around trying to learn this long range stuff. The longest I have shot until today was 600 yards. I put a target at 950 yards out according to my gps. Using my 700 varmint 308 with a stockeys stock and hand loads I was able to put 3 out of 5 on a 12" steel with a first shot hit. The Two misses were right due to the shift in the wind. my finger is pointing to the one that just got the edge. I was set up by the barns in the distance.

Here is my gun topped with a vortex.
I was spotting my self and estimating the wind since I don't have that equipment yet.

It was a great feeling. Unfortunately no one to high five. Will be trying 1000 today. Will have a witness this time.

Tried 1000 yards and only got 4 of 15. The wind wad shifting from full value to straight at me. Really had me scratching my head.
