Thread: The dinner plate challenge

Only just seen this thread and it has been a good read. Hopefully will get out soon and give this a go but have recently had a chat with a mate about my max range. Have a 308 that I can put 3 shots into 1 hole with at 100m in a paddock then took it out to 400m(shooting uphill, into the sun and up a gully with a x wind). Ended up firing 2 shots into about 2" at that range(bang on elevation but didn't allow for wind) so was pretty chuffed. Ended up taking a 660m~ shot about a month or so later which i missed . That reinforced my self imposed limit of 500m with that rifle which is what I am going to do the dinner plate challenge on when I get the chance to see if I am competent or if I need to reduce my max range.
