I may be forced to reschedule this one. Sounds like snow had built up up there... which is a fantastic thing.
We shall see what it looks like tomorrow and Friday.
Dang... 3ft or more you say... we shall definitely see... I will give it till Friday. I have a friend that I work with who gives me pretty good updates, but I'll would also appreciate hearing from you as well with conditions there [Beer]Quote:

Saturday still looks promising [Tooth]
I'll be heading out there tomorrow.
I should be there by 0700 am. The conditions out there will determine how far we'd be able to shoot.
this should be fun [Coffee]
.. and I'm off to Pawnee [Coffee]
It was beautiful out there today. A bit muddy but very nice none the less.. A member on here and his brother joined me out there. Posted targets at the farthest 500 yards only and in to 100 yards. It was pretty fun... We walked each others shots to the targets and hit every single one.
Here's a 300 yard group I did... my first time ever trying something like this

I'm skipping the month of May. I need to reload and stock up again, and need to save some $$$$$ for something [Tooth]Quote:

Bump for another day out to Pawnee
May 11th.
Should be dryer than the last time. I'm just bringing 2 steel targets and maybe a hundred rounds or less.
How far do you stretch out too? I might actually be free that day. Warning though, I'm a long distance beginner but want to try.
This was a brand new out of the box 700 varmint 308 after scope was sighted in. No bipod, prone, rested on a berm. 5 shots @ 100 Attachment 27079
Depending on the conditions.. we could even stretch it to 1K+ yards if wanted too.Quote:

Sounds like fun to me. I'll know closer to the 11th if my schedule is still open. I have 175 match to be delivered around Thursday I think.
Cool! This'll be good to get D.O.P.E. for your rifle as well.... so think about bringing a notebook and pen(s).Quote:

Don't know, but I have the free app on my phone "Strelok"... I just use it to see the difference and or how close it is with my rifle DOPE, and so far it's really not to far off.. but I do think I'm the one that's off [ROFL1]Quote:

Wow, great pic. Puts it in perspective when not looking through glass.
The 1K looks pretty close to the ridgeline....
Based on the photo...I am inclined to agree with QD. No bueno.Quote:

Heading out to Pawnee Grasslands in an hour if anyone wants to go. West on 14 to the junction with 90 (Pierce cutoff), left, drive North on washboard gravel for approximately 2 miles, right turn at rise across from "closed" gate, east over cattleguard, down slight hill, right turn, go to the back, look for the big yellow truck.
How was it? Got pics [Beer]Quote:

Very cool! [Beer]Quote:
