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....

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 with the 225 Nosler Accubond at 100 yds.

this target is with 250 SMK at 100yds.


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.
