Marmots season is upon us

[COBrad]

Today's long shot 982 yds. Last week was 836. 22-250, 8 twist barrel, 75 gr ELD-M's at 3215 FPS. Shooting in a new place. Can reach just over 1K yds. Breeze starts early and shifty. My old spot had much more predictable breezes and I could shoot to a mile. To close to Aspen anymore... too many hikers.

I always enjoy your marmot season report.

Thank you. Have a new rifle being built. Should have some more ELR to share next year.

Good shooting. I use a 22-250 in 26" 1x9tw that loves the 75 AMAX @ 3,300fps, but mostly, I use the 22-250AI in a 26" 1/8tw with the 80's going 3,400fps or so. Both are super accurate and make quick work of CO marmots.
