DPMS 308 first shots

[1_click_off]

Thought it would be a great day to test out the new DPMS LR-308. However the area I was shooting at had tons of fallen lumber and the termites were swarming. By the time I got to shot 7 my shirt was covered and shots 8 and 9 I had them crawling all over my face while trying to aim and shoot. 9 shots is all I could take and had to wait for a better day. By shot 8 I had the front post all the way up, the rear site was all the way down and about 2 clicks from being all the way to the left. WIN 147Gr. FMJ 25 yds First 7 shots were the small peep and 8 & 9 were the large peep.

Sorry to post off topic but the graphs you are using for targets look like the ones I used working for Carlisle Power Transmission as a Steam Pot Operator.....Brought back some old and painful memories.
Too bad about the termites ruining your range time. I look forward to an update in the near future.

Post some 100 yard groups so that we (and you) can see what it is capable of.

Circular charts, I still have customers that use them but most of them have gone to PC's with datalogging software. Most everybody dumps there logs into Excel to run reports.

I kinda lost ya' there? Are you talking about 308 or 50BMG?

Yeah, Carlisle had some equipment which was updated as you describe. But the division I worked in still used the same steam pots which were originally installed in 1940.

I think we still use those graphs in our air conditioned warehouses.
