what position?
i've shot 200 yds and to be honest the groups didnt grow from my 100 yd shots. some even got smaller....

Where are you going that has a 200 yard range?

My local range (USI in Concord) has a 200 yard line, but it's only open certain days... day's I'm never available.

Yes.

Need to tweek that load a little. Group should be somewhere between 1" and 2".

[jwest]

Yeah, and the scope I have on the .308 isn't the best either - but overall I was fairly pleased - pleased that I got to go out and finally shoot the .308 at the 200 yd. range with my son. One guy there asked me, 'Are you happy today.' - and I said, 'Yes, I am. Thanks for asking.' At the end of the day that is all that is really important.

[popeye4]

Yes, a bad day at the range beats a good day working.....

If you are looking for closer holes in paper, you might consider looking at a match bullet (like a Sierra Match King). What rifle are you shooting?

If you are looking for a hunting round, I'm sure that what you've got there will do just fine.

i think the 200 yard range in concord is only open to members, non members can use the 100 yard

[Stockton]

SMK 168 or Scenars 155 for better accuracy. SMK 175 for shooting to 1k. Stick with the varget 44-46gr. CCI BR2 primers if you can find them.

Not to be an ***** but that groups pretty big. Like others have said, what gun are you using? And Im sure if you tweek the load, you can get much better groups.

I think my 10/22 can get just about that kind of group, well a few inches added to the group but its a 22LR at 200 yards:


Either way though, like you said, as long as you got to spend time with your son, that is really all that matters.
