Default 300 xtp -- different rifle

Yesterday morning i made it out in the hills, and did some shooting. Two rifles came with. An Omega Dream Season with a 2-7 power scope mounted. An AR with a 1.5-5 power scope. It was a nice 56° up there at 4600'. At first there was a breeze, but after awhile the breeze quit; that is when i took advantage and shot three 300 XTP at the bottom target. Load was 72 (weighed) grain Blackhorn, black crush rib sabot, Federal 209A primer. The shots were from a fouled barrel. The rifle isn't sighted in for this bullet, but is just another rifle that shoots the 300 xtp bullet well.















The distance to the target i forgot to measure, but it has to be 200 yard or slightly more. The holes in the top target were made whilst there was a slight breeze. The .22 holes were made just having a little fun emptying 9 cartridges from a 10 round magazine as fast as i could aim, and pull the trigger.

The 300 xtp sure is accurate, and deadly.
