The Czickness XXXV.....Masks masks masks....Arrgh

[MindfulMan]

Hey look, its 3:08.

it's a sign !

 

[churchmouse]

With a decent optic, I'm thinking that accuracy will remain close to the same for shorter ranges (up to 200 yards ?)..... but will drop off, as the bullet will lose its velocity quicker. That"s my guess, L.E..

I am not seeing this out to 200 MM as the short barrel is not applying the ballistics to the round.

The rounds that I included in my first photo yesterday.... they're 150 grain soft-points traveling about 2,400 ft./sec out of my short barrel.
That's D.R.T. territory !

Did you hear that Chuck Norris got Coivd-19?

It lasted for about 30 minutes.
Chuck buried it in his back yard. He made it dig it's own grave.
It dug for 29 minutes.

 

[MindfulMan]

If you spend over $30 in shooting then at least you will have the satisfaction of knowing that your attacker will have permanent hearing loss for the rest of their days if nothing else. This is one reason why I'd like to buy a can in the near future.

I'm already legally deaf (that's the truth, albeit a sad one) ..... for me, I can't really become any deafer ! .... so I'll save the money, and remain can-less.

I don't agree .... we'll have to ring some steel at 0830's.
Although he's a better shooter than I, TT was consistently ringing steel with my 8.5" barrel .556 at 200 yards (this was at 0830's place this summer)

 

[MindfulMan]

.... and that was with a simple 1X red dot !

I've got to hang on to the hearing that I have left, which according to my wife the hearing I currently have is not good at all.

 

[MindfulMan]

I stocked up on all of my common calibers (including 308) at Bobcat shortly after the toilet paper scare, but before the riots and ammo hoarding. The time from when I placed my order to pickup he was sold out of pretty much all bulk stuff.

If I remember right, KJ has a bunch he is trying to get rid of.

Yeah, but it's milsurp stuff, I think. I never owned a .308 until now, so I had no reason to stock up.

Thats TT my brother. He understands hold over.

Well yeah, it was TT, he can do anything. He once cooked a brisket for 12 hours in only 8 hours!

You bet... you're still young-ish. ....

More truth !!!

Hey, don't cut me short ..... I'm like Superman...junior !

 

[gmcttr]

Well if it takes up to $30 to down your attacker that's still money well spent!

Seems like a bargain compared to a hellfire missile.

This business with the masks has made communication while working hard for me. Spray booths, machinery, something is always making a racket and it's harder to hear people in masks. One woman asked me if she needed to shout, I said "please do!"

 

[mcapo]

You are giving up some with a 10.3" barrel about 400 fps. Someone else can run a dope chart but you'll get it dial in and be hitting the steel at the woods at Patience's place at 400 yards.

 

[mcapo]

Ok....a really fast back of napkin calculation, tells me that at 2600 fps with a 175 gr 308 you are looking at 37" of drop at 400 yards. Same at 2200 fps and you are about 55" of drop and still clocking at about 1500 fps.

Very doable, Superman!

 

[gmcttr]

Ok...Same at 2200 fps and you are about 55" of drop...

Not much worse than a .22LR @ 200 yards and you'll have a big weight and velocity advantage to buck the wind. Should be good at 400.

Headed to HHRP shortly to embarrass myself in front of the group with a 12ga.
