pie plate at 350 with a bi-pod.... crap I could do that off hand...
what does your load do at 100 yards?
are you shooting round nose bullets or what...
your groups at 300 should be about 3" on a normal day....
are your handloading or using factory?
_____________________________________________
Using the bipod from a shooting bench, I generally shoot about 0.5 in groups at 100 yd with at least 2 out of 3 in the same hole (or oval).
At 200 yd, shooting as above, I get groups around 1 - 1 and a quarter in.
At 300 yd, I generally shoot 2.5 - 2.75 in groups.
Most groups hit within 2 or 3 inches of where I expect them to land.
What I was talking about was shooting pie plates under field conditions, up hill, down hill, etc. (it is amazing what lying on a prickly pear will do to your concentration.)
That was one heck of a nice 500 yd group. How close was it to where you wanted it to hit?
Consisting hitting pie plates at 300 yd from offhand is some pretty neat shooting in my book. Kudus to you.
BTW I get the above results with 150 gr Fed, 168 gr Win, and 168 gr Fed match. All factory loads. Out to 200 yds, there is not much difference in the Fed and Win hunting loads. The match does seem a little more accurate past 200 yds.
Anyways, after sighting in my .7mm Wby, I decided to go ahead and use the .308 sniper rifle for elk.
I will let you know how it turns out.
