[QUOTE="DennisPA, post: 653768, member: 34463"] Well I made it thru my first Ground Hog Shoot! Man that was fun. I'm hooked now. There was about 25 guys all shooting custom IBS type guns. There was only one other factory gun besides me. My 100 yard target was terriable, never shot a group that bad even with factory ammo. My 5 shots all scored but I should have done much better. It was just nerves I was really looking forward to this shoot. I had about 20 minutes between relays to clean my rifle and check my drops for 200yards. I set up my phone with a timer to make sure I used all my time. I shot my 200 yard group better then 100. Now for the 300 yard, shot a couple sighters and I couldn't even see them. With my 18 power scope there was no way to see a 22 caliber hole. So I just held for the center of the target watched for the wind to lay and shot. My 300 yard group only had 1 scoring shot but the other four were on the hog so I was very happy. Now I know the rifle and I can make that shot if I could have seen to adjust my drop. Thanks for all the help. I'm going to try just neck sizing my brass for the next shoot, and see if I need to add some more powder. I do have a question too. I opened my brand new box of Nosler custom competition bullets and there was a material in the box kinda like tumbling media but much smaller. Small enough that I thought is my fall in the hole of the hollow point. Have any of you ever see that? [/QUOTE]
