How about 75 grain hornady's thru a 7.7 twist Krieger barrel?
I'm interested in some further education on wind reading and fieldcraft. I have a rifle and have shot long range for some tiem, but often in low/no wind conditions.
do you have a location in mind? <ETA> read the rest of the thread

Like I told one of the other guys earlier today, Ballistics are Ballistics, Fundamentals are Fundamentals, Atmospherics are Atmospherics. While these factors will carry different levels of impacts on varying calibers they are still applicable to all. I've never used 75 Grain but based off the 7:7 im pretty sure you would do just fine. I also want everyone to kind of use this as an educational piece as well as a familiarization. What I mean by that is get to know your individual gear and equipment. As you all will see with some of the drills we'll do, Not all scopes truly adjust at 1/2 mil, 1/4 mil, etc like your dials may indicate. You may be .01 or .02 mils by no fault of your own. This combined with extended ranges and all the other aspects of distance shooting can cause a miss. We want everyone to become intimate with their set up so they know how to compensate for these things.

low or no wind conditions? I wish we could all be so lucky.
As of right now I am confident saying the training will occur north of Atlanta. All the places I'm working with are in that general direction.
My point was kinda, dont limit it based on caliber alone. My 223 gasser will hit steel just the same as a 308, it might not hit as hard, but it'll do.

This sounds very interesting to me! I'm not looking to be a Marine sniper, just some practical training and practice.
I am in as well. Sounds like my AR10 would be best for this, the .338 Lapua might be a bit much.

The .338 would be able to get a work out. Try both :-)
Have you priced .338 ammo? lol I roll my own of course. The .308 I use 168gr Hornady, the .338 I am using .250gr bthp would love to get some .300grn high bc's just have too many dollars in the fire to pull it off right now.
