[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 851319, member: 10"] Just before I made that video, I had tested the 250 gr TTSX with the rifle zeroed on that same target rock. I did not make a scope adjustment simply because I wanted to see how the trajectory of the 350 gr TSX differed from the 250 gr TTSX. OF COURSE IT HIT LOW ON THE FIRST SHOT!!! This is not a finished rifle with a finished and tested and proven drop chart. These are the first 24 shots out of the rifle after being manufactured. The rifle was built, slapped a scope on it, headed to the range, bore sighted at 1070 yards, took a few shots to get point of aim to match up with point of impact at 1070 yards. Let the barrel cool and then shot a few three shot groups to confirm group size that the rifle would produce at 1070 yards. That was with the 250 gr TTSX. Then what you saw on the video was the first group fired with the 350 gr TSX, again with no a scope adjustment for the first shot which landed low. I then made a scope adjustment and the following shots all landed into roughly a 3/4 moa group size at 1070 yards fired with a 6x scope. You guys make it sound like this was a finished rifle that was that far off on the first shot and then I had to make an adjustment to get shots close to my point of aim. Not exactly sure what you guys are thinking I was trying to show here but simply the fact that a lower BC bullet and low powered scope can do pretty darn well at long range. [/QUOTE]
