More pictures of the shoot. This was the morning shooters. Primadonnas who don't want to deal with heat and mirages.

:roll: :roll:

That sure looks like fun! There are some nice looking long range rigs there and those fellas can shoot!
Thanks for sharing the pictures.

I'll use my 308 this up coming August shoot. My buddies adviced against it but with temperature in the triple digit, I'm not about to cook the barrel on my 338 Ackley. I'll try using Reloader 15 with 155 grain Lapua Scenar and see if I can pushed it a bit faster than Varget. Lapua also came out with a 308 brass specifically for Palma shooters, with small primer pocket to withstand much higher pressure. I'm not sure if they're available yet. If so, I'll be ordering a hundred to try. If I can get 2975 fps, I'll be competitive. Two of the smallest group last week was with rifle chambered for the venerable 30-06. Go figure!
