Precision Shooting Reality

Hi Oscar. Glad you could join the discussion tonight. Got any advice to help me shrink down the 1/4 MOA groups?

I've switched from shooting pie plates @ 800 yards to those individual butter tart cups.
 
Yoohoo. Oscar. Can you help me out with the butter tart cup? Must be some story about it you've encountered on the internet or in a gun rag.
 
Your living my dream. One day I too hope to hit a pie plate at 800 yards. :)

At 800 yards it is more fun to hit a deer or bear in the noggin. Marmot are fun. Elk are not much of a challenge. The round is absolutely devastating at 800 yards - almost too much.:)

Likely, but I have to be able to hit pie plates first.

I'l have to start with a really big pie plate too.
 
Hey, I am trying to do this, but it is actually quite easy to hit the butter tart cups. What difficulty level are you on? Lol ;)

You would be surprised how easy it is to hit a pie plate. Its is a 20 lb beast with a hair trigger. Had a guy smack one at 675 yards one day. He had never fired a rifle in his life.
 
Toomanyguns what caliber is your rifle?

.338 caliber. Cheap to feed, easy to obtain, light on the wallet. Felt recoil of a .243 (or thereabouts).

Serious smackdown power. Check it out on a ballistic program. 300 gr. SMK leaving the barrel at 3000 - 3025 fps.

Recent efforts have been directed towards controlling the beat of my large heart. I employ meditative relaxation techniques that reduce the rate of heart beat. I also practice with the aid of an audible cardiac monitor alarm to time the trigger squeeze.

My style of shooting does not involve a time factor thus I am able to focus on my cardiac control in between shots.

HAHAHAHA!Your lucky you posted this.I was about to give you a warning for trolling.Too funny.
