Bat BRX, 40-X BRAI, Savage 338 Lapua at DOME today

[birdog]

Roy Long got his self a nice Christmas present. A 112 Savage 338 Lapua Mag. He made it up to the DOME with some fresh handloads. He shot 3 shot group at home yesterday which went a little less than an inch in a perfect Mickey Mouse. We set up at 100 and the first cold bore shot stretched the group to maybe an inch but the shot #2 and shot #3 were a few mm's from touching. Great cold bore group for a large caliber. Chronoed 2975 fps and SD was 5 or 8.
Roy was ready for 800. He dialed it up 19 MOA and first shot was into dirt at base of plate. Dialed this in and ready for 3 shot group. It hit hard and nice starting group. He may have to go up on his powder charge a little.



Next we pulled out the 6 mm's for real fun. Roy had a 40-X BRAI and I had a Bat SB BRX. My first 5 shots were a nice group, with two of the five shots hitting the one inch bullseye. One shot dropped a little low.
800 yd BRX 5 shot group





Roy shot an 800 yard egg last week and now I suggested another challenge. The
800 yard QUARTER. Roy always up for the challenge said lets do it. I set the quarter rack next to a sight in metal plate.



He went first but today was just not the day. Next I gave it a try but just not there today.
Reached 5 pic max so I will continue below

Here are our attempts at the 800 yard egg. NOT TODAY!!! Say the wind Gods!



We could not see many of our hits on this shoot and splash target @ 800 yards. Has to be real sunny.

Shayne Halliburton had a friends new 6.5 Creedmore (Needmore) setting in the scope for the fellow. It was a brand I am not familiar with but it was very nice hunting rifle. A tannish color with matching color scope. Had a factory muzzle brake. Maybe Shayne will kick in with the brand.
