So... everyone knows that the best way to ring in a new year is to drag something about 36,000 inches away from the truck, then go back to the truck, and try to poke holes in it, right? Of course you knew that. Everyone does. Hello 2013, meet my 308. Hello paper, meet 2013 and my 308. Well, now that we are all acquainted, Paper, could you be so kind as to run over there about 3000 feet and hold still for a little while? There is something that 308 and I would like to show 2013. Thanks, that will be great!
Today Karen, Kaylee, Konnor, Kase, and Dad came to the bottoms to ride snowmobiles and shoot. Even with the cold (about 20 degrees), I only needed 90 clicks of elevation on the Vortex PST scope (1/10th mil clicks). The gun was Savage 308, and bullets were my handloads of 175gr. Sierra BTHP, being pushed by 45 grains of Hogden Varget, with CCI 200 primers (average 2750 fps).

| Can you see the truck in the distance at 1000 yards? |

| There was enough of a breeze that I was having a little difficulty with "windage" today. |

| 6 Shots in the paper or on the cardboard. 5 of them were part of a 6 shot group about 10-12 inches across. |
