PD Hunt 2013 Round 2

Post by 32dgrz »

Well we got to go back and shoot where it was too wet to get to last time. We had a great time. I shot the Cooper 20VT until the wind came up and then went to my Cooper 204 , 8208 pushing 39BK's. We shot two days and had pretty steady shooting. My buddy shot his Cooper 204 all day..All topped with Leopold 8.5 X 25 Target Dot Target Turrets.
My buddy doesn't reload and shot factory Hornady 32 G and it shot well. His longest was 483 yards.Shooting on three sides working our way up wind. You would be hard to get me to leave the Kubota behind. It really works great.
We parked the truck at the ranch and drove it about 6 miles on unmaintained roads to the town. Town was about 1/2 mile long. Dog pictured was shot with the 204 at 529 yards.
First picture is my buddy looking to the north BTW he owns the Kubota.
Third picture is looking west.
Fourth picture is facing north. Did a lot of shooting that way.
The last picture is from 529 looking back to the benches. The two small things at the top of the center hill in last picture are our benches.

500 yards with a 204 is very impressive. You guys definitely have it dialed in. Thanks for sharing.
