[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 28271, member: 319"] [I][B]Accuracy:[/B][/I][B][/B] Well, how’s this? [img]http://www.jonaadland.com/NewPics2/400.jpg[/img] That group measures 2 ¾”. It was shot in variable 5-15 MPH (my estimate) crosswinds—[I][B]at 400 yards[/B][/I][B][/B]. I had 7 clicks to the left dialed in. I was leaning over the hood of my Trailblazer on a couple sandbags—not exactly the "ideal" bench rest set-up. But it was good enough to tell me how accurate this load is.
