My score wys duidelik dat ek nie weet wat ek doen nie, ek sal bietjie die .308 laat rus en meer met die .243 speel.

What bullets and speed do you shoot with your .308? Im shooting a 30-06.

Known distance 155 match at 2800f/s
Unknown 125 Nosler BT at 3000f/s can be pushed to 3250.

What is you barrel twist?

You must be using s335? Its a 26" barrel with a 1 in 12" im using pmp 155 match at 2750 at the moment! Great grouping but a bugger with the unknown distances as well

Jip, 335. 1-12.5 twist 25" barrel. You should be able to get 3250+ with the 125 Nosler BT. In my 308 they group better than than the 155 match.

I must try them out! How much are they?

Cant remember, look at S&O. If they have stock....................

R220 per 50, shot a deer buck at 300m last year, performed perfectly.

n Jaar later en hier gaan ons alweer, more oggend 5uur in die pad val. Lekker!!!!

Ek gaan ook gaan Dries, sien jou daar.

Dit was vrek lekker!!!! Baie dankie Francois en al die manne, julle weet hoe om n bobaas skiet aan te bied.

Stem saam Dries, dit was baie lekker.

Ek het op twee bane gegly en daar is my score in sy kanon in. Die Rooibok baan onderskat ek toe die afstand en die gong baan oor die lae klip muur was net 'n disaster... Maar bly steeds lekker!!

Baie lekker skiet!
Baan was baie goed opgestel. Meeste apsekte en posisies goed getoets.
Afstande was tricky om te skat.

Dries en Hein, wat se julle was die afstande van die papierteikens?
Ek dink soos volg:
Springbok: Staan oor klipmuur - 220m?
Vlakvark: uit die vuis 65m
Blesbok: sit oor groot stomp 190m
Rooibok: Le op houtblok 349m

Hier is my afstande soos ek hulle geskiet het:

Springbok: Staan oor klipmuur - 225m
Vlakvark: uit die vuis 50m
Blesbok: sit oor groot stomp 200m
Rooibok: Le op houtblok - beslis 350m of daar naby (ek het hom geskiet vir 300m - daai bok moet nou maar op sy agterbene loop)

Ja, gelukkig het ek gesien die manne voor ons was nie gelukkig met hulle afstandskatting nie en ek het heelwat verder geskat.

Tot my eie verbasing skiet ek toe mooi vyf skote in die hart -baie bly gewees daaroor.

Ek dink dis 'n eerste vir 'n papierteiken om so ver geplaas te wees.

Groete
