Range test
Jerry and others, I will test at the range.
Our range is currently 300 yards and is in the process of being increased to 600 yards. Construction is well underway and should be done in 2 months or so depending on weather and contractors. By then my 223 will be back from Larry Racine and I will test my 308 and 223 in a heads up test at 600 yards as soon as possible and report.
We have access to a 1000 yard range, but it is a National Guard range and we can't get on it except for Matches so it will not be possible to do this test before our next Match their in March and at that time there are no benches to shoot from (I know, some would rather shoot prone).
I like the idea of getting now wind zero's and then shooting in wind side by side with no wind correction in the rifles - this should tell the tale at least in my guns.
This thread is getting better each day!
