    Its fun stuff isn't it?

    Makes me want to build a 6.5G. Curiousity, what is the drop at 965yrds(assuming 100 yrd zero)? 30 MOA or so?
     
    Nice. What size was the target?
    10" gong

    I have a 308 I’ve never taken out the next time you go ;)

    Otherwise if I need to pick up a 50 just say the word!

    Max caliber at PNTC is .338 (although .340 Weatherby Magnum is likely OK). I can't shoot my Interarms Whitworth .375 H&H Magnum safari rifle. I have the parts for a 6.5 Grendel upper from Odin works but won't get to complete it until this winter.

    Nice. What were you using for a spotting scope?



    I’m using a Burris Signature HD 20-60x85mm. I posted some info here on MDS.

    I 3d printed a camera Adaptor for it.

    Yesterday was the first time I really had a chance to take it beyond a few hundred yards and use it with the camera adapter. I was surprised how well it worked. I was able to spot without even having my eye up to the objective. Also if I missed an impact, I could just rewind and take another look. I think what was most helpful was having SG fire a string, then come back and watch the video so ge could compare his hold to where the actual impacts were occurring.

    Thanks, that is a great setup.
