[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2724689, member: 15054"] Well I was really wanting to shoot at paper but my buddy set up a plate at 500 yards .. I had cleared a path through a field with my geo metro pulling a cattle panel with a tractor tire on it a couple weeks earlier. It was actually fun shooting that steel plate.. Never shot at a steel plate except close in with pistols and did not like that too much. Neat to shoot then recover from recoil of the .308 and look through the scope at the dust the bullet makes as it hits the plate then hear BING! I taped some copy paper to the steel plate and shot it and found that paper does not stay together,, the splattered bullet grenades the paper,, but that was fun to watch happen through the scope. AAAHHH! destruction of paper and bullets. You can see the tiniest speck of red plastic right in the middle of the spatter spot where the Amax bullets hit the steel. That is all. 500 yards was fun.. they also got some 700 yard set up and when it dries up I will try that.. need to make more ammo now. [/QUOTE]
