ol' spark,

Hows about fillin' me in on that 338 Tommy.

Which bullet, how fast, how accurate, what stock you have on it, hell, throw in your shoe size too....:D

Roy,
Here's the specs and a couple of pixs. I know everyone says that people post their best targets so we'll just leave it at that. I have a 32" Lilja stainless barrel with a KDF brake on a remington action. An 8 oz Jewell trigger is added to it. The whole thing is bedded in a Boyd's thumbhole varminter stock. On top I have 20moa Ken Farrel bases and a 8.5 x 25 Leupold with fine duplex and butler creek caps off of the 300 tommy. It was getting pretty close to hunting season so I stuck with the 250 SMK's moving at 3120 FPS. I have a couple hundred 250 Lapuas to try becuase some people claim the diameter of the bullets sometimes go wacky with the SMK's. Seems to do OK for me but then I haven't put that many rounds through it yet. :) Maybe I wouldn't know the difference anyhow.

This target is my steel plate at 500 yds. Probably the only group picture I have at 500 yds. There are a couple other marks on there from my factory 7Mag that I was just plinking with.
