I bet the wind was left to right, pity you could not shelter behind the sleepers..
the wind has to lift to clear the sleepers
we were in a calm area

Oh good point, now if only there were sleepers from the firing point to the butts...

I shot the Jungle Carbine at 400 yds using Privi ammo and got them all on the target but not necessarilybin the black.
In the coming months, I'm going to run the No4 out to 600yds but the sight calibration needs work. Next year I'm going to have a bash at the Vintage Arms Scotland Long Range comp at Blair Atholll. Out to 900yds I think and I bet they won't be using the acoustic frames that day.

I am off next weekend to Barton Road and feel obliged to take the T out again, it was a cracker at 800/1000 yards.
