[QUOTE="emn83, post: 726004, member: 41957"] [b]Re: Load test 3 what do you think?[/b] UPDATE. with some frustration at myself. So, I took the rifle out today, had 20 rounds, 10 each at 45.2, and 46.0. Conditions: Temp:34 degrees Humidity: 96% Sky cover: cloudy/foggy Wind: from 3 0'clock at about 7mph ( a guess, didn't feel the wind when placing the target, but it was definitely there when I retrieved the 300 yard target) Distance: 200 and 300 yards. On both targets, the left is 45.2gr, and the right is 46.0gr Here's my 200 yard target: [IMG]http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/ad67/dinsmore83/200yards.jpg[/IMG] This was mostly on me, I wasn't waiting that much between shots (Dr. Vette, I got an update on your post between shooting 200 and 300 yards) There are 2 called fliers, one on each target, because, well, I was an idiot and shot the wrong target once with each load....hooray for being anxious to shoot and making stupid mistakes! For judging drop, I used an estimate MV of 2850, and dialed up 3.8 MOA from my 100 yard zero...seems pretty close anyway, at 300, there were more definite results: [IMG]http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/ad67/dinsmore83/300yards.jpg[/IMG] The 45.2 has 4 shots I can see, not actually sure where the 5th shot is :rolleyes: annoyed at that one. POA was the bottom right corner of the square. the 46.0 target has a nice horizontal string, except that one shot that his higher up, when these two old timers came in and slammed the door on the range right as I was squeezing the trigger. POA was the bottom left corner of the square. I definitely need more practice judging and adjusting for wind [/QUOTE]
