[QUOTE="dstewart51, post: 674779, member: 38868"] And just two weeks ago, Took a buddy of mine from Phoenix out to Barstow. Set up my 3'x 3' steel at 1802 yards. Temp was in the mid 90's breezy winds 10-15mph. Had a hell of a time getting on target at first. Where we had placed the steel we could not spot the misses. To much brush and there was as depression behind the target. High misses where going over and out of sight. Low right/left where in the brush. After throwing 20 rounds down rage we decided to move. We found a nice little clearing on an inclined slope. That did the trick. Fist shot we could easily see the miss, ele was close, but the splash was about 2 mils right. I was on target by the third round with 19.3 mils of ele and 2.4 mils L wind dialed in. We had about a 50% hit ratio for the next 20 rounds connecting with the steel 9 times. All the misses where very close, some going through the wood frame. The day proved to be well worth the sun burns sustained. Ran three difernt loads, all with 300gr Scenar's 89gr VV-N570 @ 2680fps 91gr VV-N570 @ 2720fps 89gr Retumbo @ 2700fps all @ .015 off the lands All shot well, not one stuck case.
