Met my friend at the range, it was time to sight-in her .308 Win Camilla since she'd upgraded her scope to a 4-12x Swaro. Wow! Nice scope!
We had some handloads I'd made up with the 165 Nosler Ballistic Tip, with 44, and 45 grains of Varget, and also had a couple of boxes of Federal ammo, with the 165 gr Sierra SPBT Gameking. I neglected to use the chronograph, but we got her rifle zeroed at 200 yards.
At 100 yards the factory ammo showed some pretty serious accuracy... From a lightweight hunting rifle on a bipod!
My handloads were on a par with that, but no better. For her final shot of the morning, she rang the 300 yard gong with one shot. Not bad!
