    I think some of my guns won't even be zeroed , and won't know the trajectory to 1000 yards for most of them. Lucky I ll bring a good spotting scope with me. Who wants to be my spotter bitch? :-)

    I am in the same boat with the trajectory as I have no idea what speed the .338 will be doing. I'll spot for you if we are on the line at the same time Friwi.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    338 LM projectile 300 gr Sierra matching with 89.5 gr of Adi 2225
    300 Win mag projectile 208 gr with 67.5gr ADI 2213SC

    Not sure on the barrel length Rushy will have to measure his own barrels....

    Don't panic Rushy, you are still way ahead of me. I still have not put on a scope nor put a round through mine yet.

    So it looks like it is going to be a gaggle of guys talking shit and making excuses then GM. It probably was always going to be the first.

    Pretty much Rushy. Though knowing me I'll surprise myself and do OK for someone who has never shot at a target beyond 100m nor shot prone either.
