Default Finally!! range report

Took 2 rifles to the range today. .50 renegade gmb and MK95 w/22in bbl. tryed 370gr maxis, good at 25m, started opening up at 50m. Swabbed and switched to .503 460nex w/70 gr 3f swiss. Not too bad. targets are lasered 58yds (50m). Someone had left some clay birds at the 100m berm. lasered 116yds from the bench. 2 for 2 w/ renegade, 2 for 3 w/ knight. Made me think of sabotloader at the rockpit. the clay targets disintegrate when smacked w/460grs of lead!!

I was satisfied w/todays shooting! Scub em up and go again!! Those .503s loaded easy. I think I could use .504s in the knight w/out any problem. All I got to do is order some bullshops!!No hurry though!!

My Knights like the .503's better but I can get a .504 down pretty good too. I leave most of my conicals for the Whites and shoot sabots out of the Knights normally.

That would be an excellent hunting load..

Good shooting. The more I see with Knights and conicals, I think I'm going ot have to try some out. I saw some 385 grain REAL's on clearance for $6, maybe I'll have to try 'em out.

Nice shooting. Shouldn't have a problem getting meat on the table.
