What did you do at the range today?

[Austin Kaufman]

Shot a PRS match yesterday. Winds were 20-30 mph with a few gusts to 40 mph. Brutal day. Shot pretty well and ended up 13th. I was happy with the results for my second match, shot a few spots better than my first match.

The oldest is getting pretty good with the 17.

EDIT: Quoted the wrong person.

Screwed a can on the Tikka 223 and shot a 12 shot group at 100 yards. Except for one slight stray, the rest could have been pretty well covered with a quarter. Not bad for a stock 3X Lite. Just the finish of the first 20 rounds through the gun. From a box of 50 grain VMAX from Fiocchi. Probably 20 some years old. Would kill prairie dogs pretty well. Dipped into some 55 grain soft points but the mirage started to show up. Was shooting inside a heated building into cold (20 degrees) outside. Was doing ok until FIL came out and turned up the heat.

Sighted in a 22 Mag that I bought last weekend. Marlin 925M with scope on the cheap. It shoots pretty good with Hornady 30 grain VMAX.

Switched to Tikka 243. Mirage was in full force. Horizontal was a couple inches. Vertical was about level. After five shots called it a day.

Suppressor dropped zero about 1 1/2 to 2 inches. Looking forward to more time behind the suppressors.

Another beautiful day, another trip to the range.

I started the day off with a confirmation group from my T3 .223. A couple of stragglers, but still a pretty nice group.

Then I broke out the T1X and shot 75 standing, 75 sitting unsupported, and 25 prone over backpack. Nothing remarkable. I know I should be more deliberate, but I have been having fun firing double taps. I think I need to start using different targets for the first and second shots. It’s not like 6” paper plates and pasties are expensive.
Standing.

Sitting - absolute garbage today

Prone

Then I shot twenty shots at the Carl Ross target. 15/20

I finished up at the 200 and 300 yard range shooting the 8” target from seated supported and prone over backpack. I went 20/20 at the 200 and 17/20 at the 300”.

I did a Kraft drill today and shot like absolute dog shit. I couldn’t seem to get comfortable, so I wasn’t very stable. Then I shot too fast, just to get it over with.

Recently pulled apart my heavy range gun, mixed and matched parts to make a “as light as I can get it” gun for point blank range hunting, and a second crossover gun for using around here, on trips west, and for the bulk of my practice.
Zeroed the crossover gun today. CTR action, light barrel threaded at 20”, lite mags, with a s&b scope and um rings, alterra stock. Zeroed, dialed a click right, and set the turret, and Im ready for practice season.
Still waiting on the fluted barrel to come back from threading to dial in the lw one.

Holly holy!
That’s legit 20” 300wm velocity with each of those bullets.
How’s the recoil?

Much less than the 300WM. Max charge on any of those loads was 55 grains.

Went to the buddies place today and tried it out my new set up. Super happy with the results out to 400. Short range for a lot of you. Got to get out to a place that I can try it further

Worked on positions. Busted a few rocks.

I let my son pop off about 40 rounds of 223 from my Tikka.
I tried out my Tikka 243 again. I love the very moderate recoil.

Weird thing: I used my 280AI to shoot a 3/4" group with Hornady ammo. I seem to have missed the paper completely with two different factory loads. Time to make sure everything is torque'd down properly.

Family went out and ringed steel for a couple hours. Was a good day. Kids love the that sound!

It’s addictive.

Shot my new but used Browning Xbolt Max Long Range 7mm mag. I have custom built rifles that can't outshoot this factory gun.
