    Yeah, the forecast looks about the same as it was in January, but with the addition of 5-10mm of rain !

    Yeah weather looks like it will be challenging. I couldn't leave well enough alone and since I only had 25 factory vmax left and wanted some ammo to shoot I did decide to empty the brass and load up some 75 elds for the 223. Hopefully they shoot decent I've got 100 of them. Hopefully I can sneak out this evening to do a quick validation. I guess 100 rounds is more fun than 25

    Was more for redemptions and Sunday. I'm not fazed about score obviously I'd like it to be good but I'm in it for a fun day and a baseline. Hopefully a few more of these down the road the scores a bit better and I can validate improvement.

    Checked my zero this morning all set to go if I miss it will be cause my dope is wrong or conditions The rifle is on
    Practiced a few shots rested but not loaded up on the bipod to confirm p.o.i, I intend to use this opportunity to practice shots I wouldn't take in the field, so rested off terrain, packs, walking sticks etc, in the field the bulk of my shooting is prone off the bipod especially at extended ranges, will be a fun challenge.
    Also my 308 is not my long range rifle, it's definitely capable enough out to the ranges I would use it in ideal conditions, but not my first choice.
    On animals If I'm not 100% comfortable and confident I won't take the shot, this event will definitely put me outside of that comfort zone.......yep I'm making excuses before we even get there

    Haven't seen a cancelation email and I'm about to get on a plane so, I assume so. @Uplandstalker has been sorting the ribs and I'm sure he'd know
