    Range Sucess

    Massive win for me at the range on Friday. First shoot after getting the barrel cut down to 18" and a DPT fitted.

    Shot 3 groups at 1/4 moa and if i add 2 groups together, it makes it 1/2" which is great for me. Flinch seems to be dealt with too.

    It's probably the best shooting I've done with the 308, but im pretty new to centrefire and reloading

    Got an average speed over the crono so we're dialed for accuracy for a bit too.

    I think a bit of credit is due to you guys on the forum as I've recieved a bit of advice getting to this point.

    Cheers

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
