Not posting this to claim to be a good shot or anything like that, only to show the difference in energy between the two rounds.
It was windy yesterday and it took a few shots to get on the plate. I had four reloads left from the guy I bought the rifle from, four of my reloads left, and one 10 round box of Barrett factory ammo. I think they were the 452 grain MTAC’s. My reloads are the Lehigh Defense 416 grain match solids.
The plate is 14” X 17” X 1/2” thick and was placed at 570 yards. It is not AR plate.
Aren’t the .308 strikes cute?. I was amazed at how large the holes are from the Barrett.
The bullet hole by my thumb appears to have had two bullets go through it. A copper jacketed one, and a brass one, and also the bottom left corner, looks like it had a figure eight. I think all the hits on the bottom left, were the factory ammo.
