I need some leg work that day, so I'll pack the milk jugs in. The Exo with 6 full jugs is a nice workout.
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

I am going out to shoot tomorrow.  Maybe around Eberg.  I would be down to help
Find a spot as I am wanting to do the same.  I can't shoot Sunday morning but I can tomorrow.

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Did you guys get out? How'd it go? I would like to try this some time. Sounds like alot of fun. Going to test some loads this Sunday at the range for a new rifle that I plan on shooting long range. Just bought a chrono to help out with load development. Should be a fun learning/shooting morning.

We did. Good time. Only shot out to 175 max. We needed to make sure of our impact area as two of the rifles had an unsure zero. Needless to say we got it done. My plates took the 308 easily and the guy's 7mm sure knocked it around. Bknilvr hit at 100 with his 357 revolver on a milk jug and did graze the plate at 175 on his 4th or 5th shot with an open sight 30 30. Kinda cool. Overall it was a good time, all involved were safe, steel was rung, and every round fired was accounted for downrange. Ill resize and post a puc of 7mm and his pop.  Nice guys id hunt and shoot with anytime. Next outing will be at 500 cold bore and go from there.

If you look close you can see the orange plate in the distance. The white square is 100 yards for sight in. The gravel road doesnt keep going fyi and all bullet impacts are in a safe area.

Got a new tripod today so I can record my shots again with the phone scope.  Made me remember this thread.  Back from the dead
https://www.howlforwildlife.org/take_action  It takes 10 seconds and it’s free. To easy to make an excuse not to make your voice heard!!!!!!

Going out in the morning for some cold bore 1000 yard rounds touched off at some fresh painted steel.  See how that retumbo pushes those 300 grainers.    First shots this morning were 1-2" off at 300 yards cold bore.  Retumbo is a lot slower than RL-33 for me but just seems more consistent.

Retumbo is good stuff! Great in the .338 Edge and it shoots very consistent, cooler and spooky accurate in my 30”  7mm WSM.
