Took one poke at every piece of steel today with the truck gun. Had hits on each, out to 1250 (pic). Then I completely whiffed 1500 and a mile. It was damp enuff I couldn't spot either of the two misses. It'll be powder dry in a day or 2..... ![[Linked Image]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/800x600q90/923/qVMVNm.jpg)

Good shooting Huntsman22 !
How often do you guys with steel plate ranges find bullets that smacked the steel ?
I use to find them when I lived in Idaho and shot them into a flat rockface at 1040 & a little over 1400 yard spot , but never found them that hit the 2 steel plates I set up in the same spot .

I can't recall looking for bullets around the gongs, except this one time at the icebreaker. I found the little red plastic tips off my amax's (un-melted) under the 1970 yarder. 2 of 'em looked like you could use them again.....

All I find are little round disks about the size of a dime.

Bullets were laying around very visible on the ground when I walked up the to spot on the rock we were shooting .
100gr. .257 caliber - I mean cartridge bullets were usually bent with not much damage other than the rifling marks at the 1400+ spot .
280AI w/162 amax was jacket fragments - scattered around - just wondering .

Well, crap.....Puked the Burris XTRII scope on the RPR this afternoon. Elevation turret went all wonky. The illumination has been broke for a while. Oh well, I got 3 years outta it. Came in to order one of the gap LRHSi's to replace it with, and found them sold out. Always a day late.....

Yeah, I seen that. But I'm a po' boy..... Was looking for cheaper, like supertruckers sub $800 LRHSi. But I have a lead on one local, that I'll look at tomorrow. Thanks for thinking of me...

That is a pretty nice setup.
