So yesterday, after I finished competing in the LR portion of a sniper shoot, the rest of the guys run down to a different portion of the range to shoot some carbine and pistol. I decided to opt out and do some LR practice and run a 600 yd primer test on a different rifle. In between 5-shot groups, letting the barrel, I decide to also test the new Leupold CDS elev dial on my 9.3x62 shooting the 250 Accubond @ 2606 fps. The range had numerous 18" steel plates every 50 yds from 200 out to 600 yds along with hanging silhouette steel out to 500 (rams). I run through just over 60 rounds, mostly prone. Recoil didn't bother me a bit. I ran my recoil calc and from my 8 lb 5 oz 9.3x62 it had 35.4 ft lbs of recoil where as my light 30-06 AI with the aforementioned load ran 38.1 ft lbs of recoil.
