Finished up another 2-day Basic Precision Rifle Course this past weekend.
No issues to report. We had some heavy rain on Day 1, but threw up the popup tents and shot comfortably. If you haven’t shot in the rain, it usually makes everything sharp and clear; easy to see and easy to spot.
Finished at 600yds on Day 1, came back on Day 2, knocked out some classroom stuff in the morning (mainly care/maintenance/cleaning/storage/etc), then did ranging and a hold-off exercise. Then it was back in the groove and we ran to 1,000yds.
Here are the 800, 900, and 1,000 targets from 1 relay of 4 shooters. All were shooting .308; 2 shot 175grn loads and the other 2 were using Hornady Match 168grn BTHP. All worked just fine out to 1k.
On that relay were 2 lightly tuned Remington 700’s, a full custom rifle on a Rem700 SA, and a Ruger PR. Optics were NF ATACR, Vortex Viper PST, Leupold Mk4, and Burris XTR. 2 optics were MOA, 1 was MRAD, and the Leupold had MOA turrets with an MRAD reticle. Silly Leupold.
This relay consisted of 2 men and 2 women.
