You hit a little high...... Been meaning to ask you what your barrel life on the 243 with the long bullets is. I am guessing 2000 to 2500, but was wondering your take. I have close to 1000 on my current barrel. Nice shooting.
Shooting a standard .243 1x8 twist 24" barrel with a muzzle break, it's been my experience that when the wind is blowing from behind me my shots are a little high, today wind was 10-12 mph on the back of my neck.
atse, I have 1250 rnds down this barrel now, scoped it yesterday it looks new, my last barrel lasted 3000 rnds, I try to never let them get hot.
I shoot 3 different .243s all are about the same and shoot about the same barrels last longer that way. Rio7
Good group...Really good. You had a low wind day...Schit. Saw your lower post. Nice wind correction 😎
Rio, best guess...You think your shots hit higher with wind from your back because the wind is reflecting off the ground then pushing up with a draft? Anyone know if this is true...I’ve found the same, except my range is across a canyon and I always assumed it’s updraft from the wind...Your range is flat and closer to the ground...Just curious if anyone know other than a meteorologist.

James Pepper: There's no law west of Dodge and no God west of the Pecos. Right, Mr. Chisum? John Chisum: Wrong, Mr. Pepper. Because no matter where people go, sooner or later there's the law. And sooner or later they find God's already been there.
This rifle range is an old chip seal airport, that was here when we bought this place almost 20 years ago, we had no use for it as an airport so I made it into a gun range, nothing to be jealous of Kenneth, it's 1250 yrds long not 900 yrds get your facts straight, Higbean, I don't know what your problem is but I suggest you show us something to back up your smartass comments.
