Long Range practice

No use going to Tonopah if you don't have some DOPE

Correct but I'll have DOPE before heading to Tonopah

And Barstow ain't Tonopah . . .

And finally it's for fun, meeting the other shooters, socialize with a few beers at night . . . and building experience

Hopefully you will have DOPE to at least 2000 yards

Or to 3520 yards [emoji6]

Sorry for the thread jack Hog. Can't wait to hear about your 416 Barrett. Last time I ordered once-fired brass from Barrett all the cases had the test loads written on them.

Hey King,

You can use your supersonic DOPE for Tonopah. But, the transonic ranges will need verification. I have had some success with AB's CDMs at transonic.

Barstow is close to 2500' and Tonopah is about 4500' elevation. So, if you can hit 3500y in Barstow it will be easier to hit in Tonopah. And at least you will know you have enough cant on the gun to hit at 3500y.

I finally got my hands on an 8-twist barrel. I'll know how fast a SnipeTac will push 400gn LAZERs soon.

Cheers,

We'll see how it goes . . . finally I am the rookie !

Even if I am the last one on the final list I still will have a blast !

Maybe that spot deserves a price [emoji23]

Last minute rifle change...

Well I had a dumbass attack and switched rifles in the 11th hour....surprisingly it shot way better than it should have with no load development, just ran load from the old rifle. I wanted the ability to run 50 BMG, 375 Cheytac, and a Wildcat round that I'm working on, so I sold my Barrett and my Cheytac and bought a DT HTI. 100 yard groups leave alot to be desired, but at distance it shot well. It went:
2/5 at 1406
4/5 at 1676
3/5 at 1943
2/5 at 2222
1/4 at 2496 (ran out of ammo, had one dud primer on one of the close distances)









The good news is that it shot reasonably well at distance and it has room for improvement from a little range time and load development. The platform was very solid and easy to use. I ran the adjustable base which I was also new to, at some distances I used it exclusively to dial my elevation solution, at other distances I dialed half my dope on base and half on scope just to make sure it was functional and tracking properly...spot on. So far I am impressed with both the base and the HTI. Plus it will allow me to run the calibers I want off of one chassis.

That is alot of smoke for a 22 Hornet? Are you going to divulge what reamer that is?

Hey Lynn,

There's only one reamer like this . . . the 22 Bad Heavily Smoking Oil Eating Hornet [emoji23]

Let's divulge at the right moment

Still a lot of development to do and want to get that right

First walk than talk . . . . [emoji6]

I will take it. Damn wheel on my adjustable base moved again while shooting, found that there is a tensioning screw that you can lock the wheel in where it is set. That would've been handy information to have! It didn't come with paperwork. Better to find out now than during the match I reckon!

How far were you moving the oal length in the test .030-.040?
