What did you do at the range today?

Went out yesterday for a quick kraft drill. Second time shooting it, first time was with the 223 back in January. This time was with the m77 mkii .243.

Fired a total of 14 rounds. The first two were to try the thlr long range proficiency test and the 12 for the kraft drill. Made the same silly embarrassing mistake on both shots and didn't catch it until after they were wasted.

10" target at 594 yards, started standing with rifle and bag in hand, rifle chambered and on safe, scope caps on and un dialed. 1 minute timer 1 shot. Got into position, got natural point of aim, dialed 5.6 mils called wind at approx 4-6 mph left to right held for .5, missed high and slightly left. Saw the impact perfectly and thought that was weird maybe I hit the top of the target or stand and it deflected up. Reset and did the exact same thing a second time and expected different results(definition of insanity). Then I realized that I should have dialed 3.6 and not 5.6. On the plus side I broke both shots under time, had a good trigger press and spotted the impacts perfectly.

I then shot the remaining 12 shots at 100 yards for a kraft drill. All of the standing through seated were on a rickety bent ladder but it worked lol. All standing shots were on the outside, and got progressively tighter as I got closer to the ground (no surprise there). Total group size was centered over the aiming point so zero stays the same throughout all positions. Total group size was 2.25 inches.

I've heard before on podcast and rokslide that the average is around 3 or 4. Does anyone know if that 3 or 4 is diamond size or group size in inches?

I zeroed another 16” AR, had to replace a barrel…..

I also reset a few targets for Sunday Gunday with the boys.

Playing with TAC and 55gr sp's in a ruger hawkeye. Need to lean on that load a lil more, hopefully the cci 400's let me do that.

Brick of shells through the 22/45. Really liking that 6moa dot. Sooooooooo much easier to see than a 2 or 3 moa dot

Played the wind.

Always cracked me up when you start mathing out just how much you are leading a target that aint moving

Ran through the new walk through course with the boys. It was a blast.

Shot another kraft drill today. This time with a tikka t3 7mm rem mag. The rifle weighs around 10.5 lbs and is "easy" to shoot prone. I wanted to compare positional shooting magnum versus lighter cartridge and see how i did.

The three prone shots are "sub half inch" and on the point of aim. Anything other than prone really shines a light on the recoil.

The other target is from the .243 a couple days ago. Same scope, same suppressor and very similar weight.

Saturday I shot 105 loads through my 223 trainer. Most were from the PRS barricade shooting 10 round stages at 330-650 yard targets. Shot a few stages modified prone off pallets as well. Today I did some load development and then shot two quick stages with the 223 again.

Shot 40 rounds of 6 CM, and 50 rounds of .223 at plates from 200 - 400.

Met two other club members. One of them his first time at this range. We talked about scopes, and I showed him a couple of SWFA scopes. The other fellow had a 240 Weatherby Mag, which I thought was an oddball choice but he seemed to like it.

Spun on a new 6CM barrel on my Tikka, so I did some load development today. H4350 and N555 are my tried and trued but gave some Superformance, Hunter, and 4831SC a go along with a few of the new 107TMKs. Superformance had a big ES of over 120fps but still gave a great group.
