We are staying in Bradenton Florida and the nicest public range I have ever been to is only half an our away. The RO's are friendly and respectful while maintaining a safe facility, and did I mention they have steel at 560 yards and 1000 yards? I am still working up loads for a Savage 12fcp in .308 I bought off an ingo member so of course I had to take my reloading equipment.
Since the vacation house has no where to mount the press I took a 3" muffler clamp and attached a Hornady classic to the bike rack.
Pic of the range,
Paper at 2 and 3, tires and steel at 560yards and more steel at 1000.
Back to the Savage, 178 Amax best at 100 yards, 155 Amax best at 1000 yards. They both shot better than 175 SMK's. With the 155's the steel 8" gong at 560 was boring, you just hit it every time. at 1000 my best was 3 consecutive hits with the 155's. It was fun to fire then wait for the impact at 1000, that's a long trip even for a bullet!
