Saw an amazing gun/shooter today
I went out to my local range today, the 500 yard line. I am a cast boolit kind of guy, and the 500 yard line is mostly taken over by the Ruger RPR/6.5creedmoor guys.
Today everybody there has any one of the modern AR/15,,,AR10 ,,,AR/bolt action upper style rifles.
One guy had a modern bolt action with a IORValdota or Nightforce scope, and some handload boolits. .308win.
He went to shoot and he say leave your ears out (earplugs). He was supressed and subsonic. He had boolits not bullets.
I started talking to him about twist rate, and he say 1:10".
I was very much surprised as he clanged the dinger at 300yards, with cast boolit in a modern .308 with a fast twist.
He did say his speed was 1050fps subsonic. I accepted his accuracy from 10 twist at that low velocity.
However, he cranked up his scope xxmils elevation and took 1 round at the next gong at 400yards. clang!!
Then he cranked up his scope xxmils elevation and took 1 round at the 500yard gong. clang!!!
Then he cranked his scope back to some form of Zero to put the gun away.
Another guy showed up, started BS'ing talking, the guy takes the gun back, cranks in some more elevation and gives the gun to the new guy shown up.
Gives him 1 round and ...clang!! the 500 yard gong.
I was most impressed.
