That is good information, not often do I get a chance to get to the range, but not that long ago, I was there while a pair of army snipers were practicing with a heavy barrel 300 win mag and tack driving at 600 yd simulated. Actual yardage was 200 or 300 yds, I forget now. Same practices used, handloading, that heavy barrel and I'm sure quite a bit of handloads tweaked along the way to fit that particular rifle, then you have the complete package, rifle and handload recipe, with exception of differing powder lots and bullets. Thinking back, this was after 9-11 but before Iraq started, so it was a while ago these guys had just got out and were enjoying some time at the range with their kids. The accuracy that rifle had was amazing, tuned right in. I've handloaded my springfield M1A, with a friend who is more experienced in handloads, and it gave some great results also many center of heart shots on whitetails with that same batch of rounds, it's a nice hobby, with so many variables and things to learn, buy, practice etc. and always fun when you get a chance to test out your work on the range, does seem to give good results, sometimes you have to change things and shoot, and keep at it until you find a combination that works for a particular rifle. See a lot or retirees taking up shooting at this particular range, many times you have the place to yourself, no one is there.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he reached his early sixties
