You need a better scope, or rifle, load info, or a ballistics app. You ain't that old.I can't even see 600 yds. away! I've got a 2.5x10 with a 50mm obj. on my AR and it's more scope than I can use.
When I shot more I was accidentally hitting 4" or so plates at 600, now I'm happy to hit a torso target haha.The largest amount of my shooting would be considered plinking! And the rest would probably be misfires or accidental discharges!
You're on your way. Welcome to the dark side of precision shooting.When I shot more I was accidentally hitting 4" or so plates at 600, now I'm happy to hit a torso target haha.
I was neck shooting the full size deer at ASC at 600 a few weeks ago which isn't bad
This.If you aren’t pushing max loads or looking for superb accuracy, just load it and go.

This is a common misconception.Military brass is thicker. The cases weigh more. There's more brass in the base(head) area. Thicker walls. Therefore, the internal volume is different then a thinner walled civilian case.
Civilian cases are made with less brass. Compare the weight between a 5.56 WWB case to a NATO 5.56 case. Outside dimensions are the same. The internal isn't.
Thanks for the complement! Not sure about the actual meaning of "that old". I think it varies between individuals. I was born less than a year and a half after WWII ended.You need a better scope, or rifle, load info, or a ballistics app. You ain't that old.
Winner!.........................
For plinking ammo none of it matters anyways.

Always had them at 600ASC has steel rifle targets? Is that new(ish)?
Honestly I'm buying pulled bullets to plink, they claim they have minimal marks. I'll buy better stuff for distance.The really weird thing to me was when I started concentrating on MV, and bullet profile type for my particular rifle. I used high $ 55 g flat based bullets and super cheap ones. I'm no bench rest guy, but with the same powder loads, they were consistent groups.
And "none" of the military ammo is hand loaded, correct?
Except for the stuff that leaks out, of course. I cherish my box of .38AMU. I have no idea how it escaped from the Army Marksmanship Unit but I was happy to buy it when I saw it on a table at a gun show.None you can by. Army Marksmanship Unit hand loads for competitions.

There always seems to be an exception that proves the rule, doesn't there?
I've been sorting. Russ the last few days and got to thinking is sorting by brand really that important for plinking ammo?
I know volumes and all can be different but with a load on the safer side of things is it really necessary?
