 Shot a 600 yard match tonight...
I'm actually a little impressed with myself.
Out of the 20 rounds I fired at a 6" X I had: 7 - X hits (one of which was dead on tits center) 10 - 10 rings 2 - 9 rings 1 - 8 ring
Not too shabby for my first time out at 600 yards. With my current loads I am about 19.5 MOA of drop at 600 yards. Thats almost 10 feet of bullet drop. I'm gonna start working my loads up a little to get some more muzzle velocity. I want to get it capable of repeated 1000 yard hits someday.

Nice Jake. That's good shooting. What's your powder charge now?
Since you have access to that nice 300 yard range, I would work up by .2 grains from where you are now to max(46 or 7?) Shooting each load for a group, but not adjust point of aim. Then you can see if there is a node where accuracy tightens up, plus you can overlay the targets to see how the vertical dispersion is(or shoot over a chronograph).

Yup, thats kinda the plan. I am at 42.5gr right not which is my starting load. It worked so I never worked up from it. But after talking to a guy I shoot with often tonight he convinced me it was needed.

You shooting 168's Jake?
With 19.5 MOA drop at 600 you must be running a pretty light load?
