Eljefe,

Can you roll up the green and bring back with you to India.Lovely range.Nothing similar for Indian shooters any where in the country.

Here, finding a 300 mtr range is hard enough.1000mtrs... forget it.I don't think there are any in India unless you get to the atillery ranges.

plenty of green here, inspite of the dry.reloading? have to!
Grouping? would love to know-I got a string of 8's the up 8 clicks and it was 10,9,9,9 but the target is patched after each shot/orange patch.cant guess.Will try for a chrono /group session next time, in a non recorded shoot

Not using wind flags?
Got to be difficult reading conditions without them.

The 6 NBR is excellent for 300 and 600, though does tend to loose a little especially with slow twists at 1000.
What bullets and powders are you using? I have just begun playing with the caliber, and am getting promising results with the 105 scenars.

I dont have data for ADI AR 2217, but have data for 2218 (too slow), 2219 (too fast)...

Let us know how it goes.
