Good to see you finally got to stretch its legs Greg:cool: the virtical or rather lack of is impressive:thumbsup:
The vertical in your group at 1585 yards is very pleasing bet that put a smile on your face, the side to side is only the wind, would be very interesting how she goes in good weather conditions.;)
Greg I'm curious, does DCM stand for "don't come Monday" ? :)
:)
Had a play up the range again this arvo, trying some different loads.
.295 moa :cool:

I had the Bolt & barrel fluted last week, I'm very happy with the bolt & will get my others done as well :)

Even though the weather was "average" at best I decided to take the 375 DCM & a couple of baby 338s out for a run, so I picked up Spanners at 0530 & we were off.
I really need to invest in a decent video camera so I can keep a record of these things :)
I really wanted to shoot measurable targets but the conditions wouldn't allow it :oh noes:
So after a pie at the local servo we went to another spot that had rascally rocks that needed sorting :)
I shot at 955, 1615 & 2050 yards at 2, 11 & 16 degrees with about 6 mph winds.
All groups were under 1.25 moa :cool:
I was very happy with the performance of the 375 DCM & the group I shot with the 338 Imp at 2050.
I let Spanners have a shot with the 375 DCM @ 2050 after I'd had 3 shots with 338 Imp, he hit the 10 x 6" rock on his first & only shot....Tin arse :thumbsup:
We shot the 350s & 425s at 2050, I had only "chucked" together a load yesterday that shot at the same POI at 100, but was an ordinary group, so I was very pleased to see sub moa groups at 2050 :cool:
I'm really looking forward to stretching it out at a decent distance in good conditions onto measurable targets :)
Bugger, would liked to have met spanners, was down grey for wedding then came back up went bush overnight.
I went to a mate’s brothers new place this morning to shoot some of the Goats that he wants gone.
I shot some out to about 700 with the 338 Norma & some a lot closer with the 308.
Then we went for a drive up, up, up, up & up some more into the forestry that looks over the valley so I could shoot back onto his place at some scree slips.
We found a suitable position & a likely looking rock to shoot at.

The rock is in the triangular slip in the middleish of the picture.
It is 2500 yards away, initial shots with both the 350 & 425 CE bullets showed they were both 6moa low with pretty good windage.
So it looks like I will need to step the BC once I start getting a fair way out.
The scree was a little coarse & it was difficult to spot all the shots with some of them disappearing into the rocks :(
I didn't hit the rock but got well inside 1/2 an moa a few times :)
Unfortunately I don't have a decent video camera yet, one is on its way, so I should be able to put some vids up of next time I shoot it way out there
Nah it was around 1075ish, shot some 2-450 with the 308 :)
Had issues seeing the strikes, then shot a rock & was 4-5" low & left so they were most likely tearing straight through them....
Made a mess on the rock & the smack was outstanding from the 350 :cool:
Very hard to distinguish between a high shot & a pass through when shooting up hill unless the target instantly shows obvious signs....
Here is a close up shot of the rock.

It is 2 moa across & 2.75 moa high.
It is a long way away, the flight time of 3.7 to 3.8 seconds is amusing.
One thousand & one....... one thousand & two....... one thousand & 3...... one thousand & 3.75 :thumbsup:
