Well, cooler weather is here and I've been doing a little shooting. Rifle season is like motorcycle season here, its from October to May. I started by using the IMR 4350 powder and the Berger VLD bullets I had left over from my experimentation last year. I think I've settled on H4350 and RL-16 along with Barnes Burner and Nosler RDF bullets going forward, so I just want to shoot these up.
I shot this load at 500 yards at my gun club and had consistently good results. They only have two steel targets, a full size ISPC target and a 4" gong so I decided to make my own setup and ordered 1/2" gongs from 3" to 12". I'll use 1" EMT as a stand and will need two.
I also went out to the Holley Gun Range and shot out to 950 yards. Since its deer season, the longer ranges are closed. I have not been back to the Reveille Peak Ranch since last spring. I can shoot out to 1700 yards there, but I need a spotter for that distance. I'm looking forward to the next few months.
