I’ve been playing a new game. Mostly cause I’m about out of 338 bullets (and broke)but it’s good practice.   One shot per day.  Random location on the farm where I can see my targets.  Walk out sit down and range target. Get one shot. So far it’s been 608-860 yards.  5 days in a row I’ve gotten the ping on my 10” plate. Great hunting practice.  Hoping to draw a spring bear tag this year 🤞🏻

I found out how expensive it was when I was shooting hundreds of rounds a month.  To mitigate that somewhat, I've moved to shooting 22LR more.  Obviously not the same but the same marksmanship skills apply.  Plus it's a ton of fun trying to shoot steel plates at stupid long distances for the 22.  You just have to listen reallyyyyy close for the ding.
