I went up to our WI deer camp yesterday to do a little shooting. There is a really sweet range just a few miles from it. They have ranges from 25 to 300 for shooting rifles. I shot my new extreme weather M70 30-06 some more and got it dead on at 100. It has Leupold CDS reticle so I'm supposed to be able to dial it in now that it's sighted in.
Also shot the M70 7x57 Mauser again to make some brass for reloading. But that is also sighted in right on for 100 yards. It really likes 140gr bullets. I was hoping to use RN 154gr bullets but so far, the 140gr are the champ.
I also shot at 300 yards for the first time yesterday. I hit the target, with both rifles so I'd call that a win so far! It made shooting at 200 almost easy and 100 was nothing after that! I'll be doing more of that! Especially if I can get the CDS reticle figured out.
We didn't see any deer. But, we did see a lot of tracks and one bear.
