OP J.G. THF Celebrity Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 42,840 Wolfe City, TX	Several loads I tried are giving me some shiny on the case heads. Ejector circles. Today, I'm going to try some lighter loads. If I end up going back to that load, or any other load I end up on, it will be shot out to 800 yards. Back to why I bought a thermal with a Mil reticle in it. From the living room, I can see 500 yards with no obstructions. I can see 800 yards, but with some trees in between. 800 Yard Steel Range Precision Rifle Instruction Memberships and Classes Available
