McGowen .223 Savage build wins another match!

[DanSavage]

This was a 300 yard match with no sight shots allowed. I was up against 2 Ruger Precision's and a few gun's with suppressor's. The Ruger in 6.5 Creed was right on my tail though!

This was a Police Sniper type match where you shoot at 2 targets, 5 shots to the head and 10 shots to the chest. The target's are scaled way down of a man sillouet and there was a small box in the head and small box on the chest which were served as x count. You could not see the boxes used for x count,, you just had to make a mental note of where they were.It was 30 rounds total 15 on each target shot with in 30 minutes. Some took the whole 30 minutes,, I took about 12 minutes to get the job done and took 1st place.

Thank-you Brothhood, I'd like to try the 90 grainers too, I've only run the 69gr smk handlebars to date with accurate 2495.
If you don't mind what is your load? Since we have the same barrel I could get an estimated from to play with.
