Default 09-04-2016 range Day

Took the 700 out for some load testing today. I can say that this was not a good day for the shooter. The rifle did great and so did my loads. But, being under the weather and 85 degrees with no wind takes a toll real quick. I started rushing shots and it shows. Anyways, that's my excuse...LOL..

Temp- 85*
Hum- 80%
Wind- +/-3mph 9'0clock
Bar- 30.10
Clear skies
Range-200yds
Rifle- Rem 700 Milspec .308
Loads- 168gr Nosler BTHP, 4895 & Varget Powders, Fed Brass, Win Primers



All in all, not too bad. But, deffinately can be improved. I still have to test with some 4064 powder loads and see if it shoots better. It's looking like the charge will be fine tuned around 42.0 - 42.5 grains.

PS.....All shots were taken prone.
