[QUOTE="ss8541, post: 21337, member: 104"] Dave, I have a 1-10" twist barrel. I am limited to 3.69 by the throat. I was using a 100 yard target with a bunch of grid work and only a 1/2" center on it to shoot at 500 yards. It wasn't so much the Mirage as it was the target giving me trouble. I ended up using 22 power though. I shot 3, 100 yard groups with 210 bergers and H1000 today. It was way to windy to shoot any farther (very unstable wind speed), but I got an average of .334, and a small group of .21. I think this is going to be interesting out farther. I let one go right as a gust picked up about 5 or 6 miles per hour and that put that shot directly to the right of the group. I know better, but I did it anyways. That group was .412 with the lone flyer due to wind, the other 4 went into .181. My cold bore group measured .418. I really need to consintrate on the conditions more. Oh, these where 5-shot groups. Well, hopefully the weather will be nice and I can get some 500 yard testing in this weekend. One more thing has anyone tried VV 24N41 Powder with the heavy bullets yet? Thanks, Vince [/QUOTE]
