Shot my American in 308 for the 1st time today, very happy! It was kind if windy, but it was coming in almost directly from behind, just slightly from my right. Wind started getting progressively worse, was shooting cheapy 150gr FMJ to get it close. By the time I was ready to break out the goody Federal Matchking 168gr BTHPs, the wind was starting to kick up the dust.

Had to time shots between gusts, but managed to get 3 good rounds off at 100 yds. 1st one was high, made a correction to bring it down, got off two more shots. Pic:
