Thread: The dinner plate challenge

Good luck with the dinner plate shooting guys,interesting.
Id be pissed off if i cant shoot a 5 cent coin at a hundy,cold clean bore shot(kill shot),shooting off a rest.But 500 yds would be my limit on a red,400 on a fallow,but id want a good shooting position for that distance.Probly shot half my deer out to 100yds,me standing no rest.Ten deer+1 pig last summer plus 2 misses.The 2 misses were around the 300 350yds,hurryed shots,not confortable shooting positions lying on stoney river bed,bugger it.Every couple of months in summer i go to the range,using 147gr nato ammo.I practice hitting the dinner plate at 50,100yds just standing,can be hard to do sometimes.
If you can.just fire two rounds at your target say,200yds,go home,let the barrel cool down over night.Come back the next day fire 2 more.These are yr kill shots out hunting if you are on the dot.You hear a lot of guys shooting 20,30 rds in one visit to the range,your barrel gets too hot,you chasing yr scope around.Any how got lucky 2 summers ago,shot two deer on the run thru the necks at 160yds and 200yds.Shot both deer about a minuts apart,shooting thru a thermal clip on.
I cant do the dinner plate thing at the moment,my scope is off the rifle.Im waiting for a new scope,nothing flash,to come up from the deep south.
