    Range owner wants his gongs left in one piece ( easy enough with my shooting skills ), and therefore anything over 150gr can not exceed 3000fps.
    My mag is sighted in with factory amo doing around 3200, and I want it to stay that way till I get my A into G and load some 208`s

    I may still go with the 308 for laughs

    I must say I did hear a few bangs that were not followed by the ringing of a gong.

    Well we had fun and if you intended to come along but didn't quite make it you missed a great day

    One my first "Stage" barn doors far and wide would have been weeing themselves............not

    Sounded so simple " at the buzzer shoot all 5 plates at 124m unsuported ie standing or sitting "

    Good news is it sounds like there will be more of these

    Various sizes, some tall but narrow. 8 inch plate at approx. 800 up hill and into the sun was somewhat challenging

    Yeah I guess at that distance if you only have an approx. it could be very hard
