@deepsouthaussie, I can lent you my diamondback if you want it... @Cartman consider it done, just be aware, I am a very "strictly" teacher.

I will keep you guys posted.

Cheers

Mac

Its all good mac. I'd prefer to save the loads for when I need to re-zero scope and set it up.
Im on Dad duty anyways as the wife is working my days off for extra coin before Christmas...

Any bang bang action in the near future @Cartman

So we finally got out for some range time. Mac came out we found a spot and slung some lead at some steel. Went bloody well too. Couldn't figure out why I was on target at 640 but couldn't get any where close at 950. Mac suggested changing to g7 drag model. And it changed my solution by 5 moa! Gave it a Crack couple fine adjustments and bang started hitting my mark shot after shot.
Cheers Mac was a bloody good day. Also.a personal best haven't shot that far before was fairly stoked.

Ok, my side of the story! Lol!
First of all, a massive THANK YOU to you Chris @Cartman for have me there, all the effort to make this little fun happen.
Story: after some "bumps" along the road(Chris need to work and little things) I made back from Gore to "The place" and everything start to happen, range setup and we start to make adjustments to our ranging as one had it in meters the other in yards. Anyway, Chris hit the 650 in the second shot and another 2 consecutive after that, in the other hand I fired 9 shots at the same gong and I didn't hit ones.
Next challenge was hit the 900, I change my ammo to a very fresh reload(24hrs early) and I had a crack on it, wow! Low right in the bottom of the Waratah, some fine adjustments and another 4 shots on target at that distance. WOW! The longest shot to date for me I am very impressed with my self, Chris did help me a lot to spot the shots and we actually had a lot fun calling "no call", "couldn't see it" kind things.
Any way, an awesome day with an awesome guy full on in the long range thing, very addictive as I personally can't wait till I be able to do it again.
I think a picture speaks more than words!

Thank you HEAPS Chris for the awesome day!

So im lookin at doing another day on the weekend of the 21st Feb give or take a day. Let us know who's keen.

Just a heads up, follow some photos of the targets i shot after come back home.
