My wife went with me to the range today and shot my LR-308 for the first time, she did awesome.
I loaded up some 110 v-max with a starting load of RL15. This is the bullet Hornady uses in their 110 grain TAP load and has excellent terminal ballistics so I was excited to see what it would do with a starting load.
We were shooting out at Nampa and target was 50 yards away. I normally shoot 168 MatchKing, at 50 yards the 110 Vmax required no scope adjustment, very low recoil but operated the LR-308 perfectly.
The first water target is a 96 OZ container, weighing about 6.2 lb + weight of the plastic. The box is about 3 feet tall.
My wife took the shot (her first shot with the rifle) and nailed it. In this shot the container was ~ 3 feet in the air, it landed roughly 9 feet from original location and was split in half.
Next is a 1 gallon jug of water, also at 50 yards.
And the shot
Finally I shot a phone book at 50 yards, entry was a normal .308 hole, here is the exit
and from the side
