That's good to see tall green grass. Makes judging wind better by the way the tall grass leans :D

Yes, Charlie, I too would love to show you some of the groups with 20/1, however, there was always one that seemed to make you say "what the hell is that", there was no reason for it to go there, have three or four in a match do that, a 34 is a hell of a lot better than a 30, get you up closer to the top with out them :wink:

This is a 100lb propane tank
This is a Money bullet on 16/1
BTW there's two more skipped off the top dome of the tank & one on the lower left edge
This is a 100 lb propane tank at 900 yds
Jim Bourn & Mike "Monkey Boy" Alexander shot "AT" it for quite awhile, I walked up & asked how it was going, Bourn wanted to know who the sadistic bastard was that decided to put it at 900, I just smiled, they loaded another round :lol:
This is a 100 lb propane tank that's 14" wide X 38" tall, (I think, I'll go measure it for tall) :wink:
Charlie, on second thought, keep shooting the "slumping" 20/1, you don't need anymore "luck"
I'll see you at the Q, give you your care package

Charlie, here's the one I spoke about before, with Doug spotting
That's "The Mulhern" at 1023 yds
The rings are all individual rings, 44" 8 ring, 20" 10 ring & 10" X ring :D

How many years have you been shooting at it already 8)

Jim & Mike would probably agree with the hologram part

After you wear yourself out shooting at it
You'll be begging for a diamond out there :lol:

:lol: :lol: if I can see it I can hit it :lol:

That's some good shooting Brian. Did you do this with the .40? I'm bringing my .40-65 to see how they hold up on the hill.

I sure like that little caliber.

No, 45-70, you must have at the very least the big boy starter kit to begin with, it was either 74 or 75 grs Old E, I do know that it was the 537gr ish mini groove, blow tubed tho, that damn thing is mighty small thru the sight, real easy to shoot off the left or right of it.

(I only shoot one style bullet in it, have two versions of it, a regular lube groove & a mini groove)

I believe that I sent 20 rds downrange to get those 8 or 9 hits on that tank, that's fine by me, quite a few would've fit in that 20" 10 ring or the 9 ring, & that's what I was looking for :wink:

no one has a 40-65 that's capable of doing that, not even Paul, you'll always lose to some one's 45 :roll:

And Kurt, you're going to have to quit looking down the barrel to see if it went off, I'ma not going to allow that here :lol:
