Basic Long Range Instruction in Tennille this Saturday

[palmettomoon]

I don't think it's full yet, but if you have the time and rifle/ammo, might want to give it a try. It'll be my first time attending anything they've done and I wanted to see the Red, White & Blue Gun Range (mostly bench rest shooting) for a while now.

Precision Rifle Fundamentals

Saturday June 11th @ 10:00, Red White and Blue Gun Range, Fundamentals of Precision Rifle engagements. Learn how to accurately engage out to the trans-sonic range of your weapon system. We will have known distance shoots out to 1000 yards on steel, as well as unknown distance shoots. Weapon...

Report back after the training.

I will. Based on some Facebook posts I've seen I don't think he suffers fools gladly so it should be at least a bit entertaining. I'll let you know how it goes.
I'm taking a Rem 700 in an Accuracy Int'l stock with Vortex PST FFP 6-24 on a 20 MOA Spuhr base. Shooting 168 gr SMKs on 40.6 grains H4895 for 2,643 fps (unsuppressed). Same load I used last year at Arena to make hits on 1,227 yard target. That's stretching it but she's the girl I'm bringing to the dance. The 1 in 12 twist barrel doesn't do well with 175gr bullets.

This group was fired quickly 5 rounds at a time for ten total, first suppressed, then unsuppressed, making the necessary dial adjustments on the turrets (checking for repeatability) as fast as the chrono could print.


Expect the flyer, it's 9 rounds in two groups under .75" @ 100 yards. Not too bad.

Dang, I need to watch this part of the forums, this looks like fun, and useful.

Nice shootin'--1 in 12 twist, musta' been a Varmint gun to start with...

I don't know. I bought it used and haven't looked at the box in years. I am pleased with the loads I've worked to and adjustments without the suppressor to elevation & windage are repeatable, accurate and easy. I brought it out one more time today to see what change in POI I might get by shooting a cold, clean bore. None. First and second round downrange dead center bulls. I fired three more as foulers and won't clean tonight as I prefer a dirty bore.

Will report Sunday what I think about the training and IBS range over in Tennille.

Good luck today!

My SCAR 17S has 1:12 twist and shot the 175 SMK's great all the way to 1,000 yards. Maybe your gun is picky? Have you tried 185gr Juggs?

Nope. I did try the 175s again today at 950 and 1,000 yards and they performed great on a 20" round plate (950 yds) and a 2/3rd scale silhouette at 1,000 yards. I joined that club today instantly, as soon as I saw the range. Mr. Tom has done a great thing there. Beautiful place to shoot. I'll be a regular.
