[QUOTE="CapeEsperance, post: 1589198, member: 74181"] somehow in the past 10 years i discovered the Long Range Hunting site, and have enjoyed reading the articles and discussions. I grew up shooting precision .22 long rifle events and even got a college education and one national record because of it. after 26 years of wandering the world on various ships with the Navy, i retired in 2004 and started shooting again. If you connect all of the dots, i have sailed around the world (minus panama canal or strait of magellan). I was even entrusted with command of a couple of ships and leading several hundred of our nations finest- what a blast! I picked up a Remington 700 in .308 a few years ago and have been slowly modifying to make it shoot better. finally a reasonable .55" grouping. I have been surprised at the variables associated with this that did not exist in either .22lr or 300m precision shooting. Certainly wind, but off of a range with known distance, yikes. My dad left me his reloading set up (RCBS RC and RC jr), which came courtesy of younger brother taking up national match shooting - he shoots better than i do, and was state champion in ISU precision and National match. I have since bought dillon 650 and a couple of SQ DB from someone in final retirement. I have only been hunting once since retirement and took a whitetail doe with one shot (Savage 10ML). My wife and i have shot in a IDP(?) match and look forward to more shooting in the future. [/QUOTE]
