Why is it out of sight?

Range owner wants his gongs left in one piece ( easy enough with my shooting skills ), and therefore anything over 150gr can not exceed 3000fps.
My mag is sighted in with factory amo doing around 3200, and I want it to stay that way till I get my A into G and load some 208`s

I may still go with the 308 for laughs

Very little noise from the range this morning , so far. I guess no one needs to practice

I need more than practice, divine intervention would be a great start in my case

I must say I did hear a few bangs that were not followed by the ringing of a gong.

Sounded so simple " at the buzzer shoot all 5 plates at 124m unsuported ie standing or sitting "

Good news is it sounds like there will be more of these

What size plates? Difficult angle or anything?

Various sizes, some tall but narrow. 8 inch plate at approx. 800 up hill and into the sun was somewhat challenging

Yeah I guess at that distance if you only have an approx. it could be very hard
