You know, sometimes when you are on the 600 and its windy, you just don't have enough spotting scope to see your holes, and its too hot to drive down there and look, you come to the conclusion that a 300 Win Mag is not enough... so you step up.. no problem seeing these holes. BTW the June Long Range Rifle class is nearly full, the next one after that is July 23 and 24 at G*T and the ASC. https://gatguns.com/event/long-range-rifle-day-1-07232022/
