Ya I'm at it again. I will host a shoot to a mile with the theme being the majority use 308 rifles. The fee for my shoots is to help out with the fuel costs and other expenses, by donation. I will have 2 targets at the mile so if other calibers come they can mark it up and not mark the 308 target. Set up in the morning, shoot, retrieve targets and go home/ back to motel. Maybe have a refreshment around a campfire after shooting. There is enough room for everyone to set up their benches. Shooting line is 100 feet long.
You must belong to a club that carries insurance or have a membership in the NFA with insurance(click on banner above). Dems the rules for shooting on private land.
Build a bench if you don't already have one. They make it easier to see over the humps in the field / snowbanks. Winter camping hmmm. There will be another shoot or 2 later this year as well(sept 22-23).
There will be a target at 500, 1000, 1400, 1500, 2 at 1760 and that's it. Interested PM me.
My range rules.
Safe gun handling.
Muzzle points to the sky or the ground , no sweeping other shooters.
Bolt open or out from case to shooting line and from shooting line to case.
Bolt open when gun is not attended on shooting line.
No gun fondling while people down range.
No restricteds.
You must belong to a gun club, or be an NFA member with insurance.
And I'm kinda a safety nut, so everyone goes home in one piece.
I'm the self appointed range officer as well.
Oh and the guns go away when the alcohol comes out to play.
I punched the numbers and I think its is doable. 155gr lapua scenars @ 3000fps.
maximum height at 171 yards, after that its falling out of the sky. 89moa or 1682 inch or 140 foot drop. Still at 932 fps at 1800 yards. Drops through the speed of sound after 1400. 3.5 seconds to reach the target. I'll be using a Savage model 12 F-TR 30 inch pipe. With I don't know how many shim's under the scope base.
I seem to recall I need 89 moa to reach 1760 yards. When I calculated it, I think I was almost 20 MOA shy so I will shim it 30 MOA to be safe. I can shim it and then use Burris signature Z rings with the inserts. LIG
