    Fireformed some 223AI brass tonight. It was factory loaded Lapua with 55 FMJ. I was pretty impressed with the 100 yard groups considering I was fireforming, it was breezy, and the bullets were a FMJ. Lapua makes good stuff

    .72 MOA average over 15 shots

    Far Upper Midwest. Lower Midwest When I Absolutely Have To
    Took a much needed mental break from a number of things and got some fresh air. Checked zero on a few things close range at 200m (had to zero the irons on a CETME, confirm some AR zeros) and then let the dogs run. We had to modify our usual locations a bit as uncut grown pasture kept us from going prone in our usual spot. Steel was set at 200m, 510yds, and 980yds. We were able to stretch things out more off the truck and squeezed 1010yds from that as the extra elevation of the truck bed and a rise in the road helped us out. It’s always a challenge in yardage depending on where the cows happen to be grazing that particular day...keeps it from getting stale.

    The bolt guns were .308, .300wm and .300norma. No surprises there either. The .308 was a bit more of a challenge in the wind out at 980 and 1010, but it held its own. The conditions for seeing trace were pretty much perfect all day as well. It’s neat to watch them arc in. Last pic is the last poke at 1010. Lighter impacts are .308 and the darker are the winmag.

    Got some free time to myself today so I hit the range. It was a good day of shooting but a bad day for my groups so I just shot some new to me stuff for familiarization.

    New to me TRP that came from a "Spend my money!" thread I started


    My Father's Day gift, a .44 Special Blackhawk


    The KS47 pistol I picked up as an alternative to a .300BLK pistol. This will be up for sale shortly, I flat prefer a 12.5" 5.56 so that's what I'm sticking with.


    Finally got good pics of the Wrangler and Great Western .44 Special

    My .308 700-based precision rifle. Barrelled-action by Bryant Custom with 23-inch Bartlein 5R 1-10 twist barrel, McMillan A5, Timney trigger, blah blah blah. On bags from the bench the rifle is capable of .3 MOA precision.

    Shooting tiny groups from the bench is fun, but I've been in pursuit of building my skills from the prone with this rifle for a few years. I was using a Harris bipod which was a massive exercise in frustration - the pivot point would slip on every shot no matter how much I tightened it. Along with some amateur technique on my part, I wasn't getting anywhere near the results I had achieved from the bench. So last winter I dropped the coin on the Atlas 5-H. No long after, more on a whim, I set the rifle up with an Atlas monopod to support the rear. Believe it not, today is the first time I've actually tried out the new Atlas gear.

    Once I got my zero re-established (I had been monkeying around with the zero-stop shims and I think I did not correctly index the elevation turret when I put it back on), the hits started coming. The range I belong to has steel set up at 300, 480, 560, 620 and 650 yards. The targets at 650 are way up on the slope of a hill and are a pain in the ass to engage from the prone, so 620 was as far as I shot today. No problem getting consistent hits on 12-inch plates at 620.

    The Atlas 5-H is awesome. Stable as can be and no dicking around with having to re-level the rifle after every shot.

    I started the day using a bag under the stock but switched to the Atlas monopod towards the end of the session. I'll be damned but it works amazingly well, better for me than the small bag. So between the bipod and monopod, I began making progress on my technique. I ended my day with three shots on steel that were in a hand-sized cluster at 480 yards (glad I remembered the spray paint this time).

    Laying on the ground ringing steel sure is a lot of fun. Maybe some day I'll actually be good at it.

    Thanks! It's finally usable from the ground.

    Zeroed the P365XL with Romeo Zero.

    Ran a few rounds through the 8” MPX pistol. It ran fine with +p gold dot but did not like blazer aluminum.
