I also have 20/15 vision, so I have an edge in that regard. As long as you can clearly index your sight picture at the center of your target, settle the gun well, and maintain that sight picture throughout the shot(thanks Gene), you're good-aside from your doping of course.
    Hey I still have 20/15 vision, but with my contacts in!

    I hate that I have the area between close up and 20" that is blurry when corrected, without lenses I am fine but then it sucks after 18" distance

      How does your brass look with that hot of a load. At 65f and 28.4g of 8208 XBR I was beating the crap out of AA/Lapua brass and getting deep extractor marks in the brass. I have now backed down to 28.1g 8208 XBR.

      Nice shooting! I have only gone out to 800 with mine.

      Until that day,

        I wonder if I got a soft batch of brass. Some of mine have deep extractor marks. All AA/Lapua.

          TX Gunner,

          I can assume that you live in the Lone Star State. I do as well, and Im wondering what city you are from. I say this, because Id like to see if you want to test the gun at unknown ranges. I have a lease with longer range capabilities.

          Its an open invitation

                I got to the range again this weekend. These SMKs can shoot! Conditions were near perfect early in the day.
