[QUOTE="nealm66, post: 2286893, member: 114809"] It will be interesting to see how he likes the hammers. I had him shooting sirrocos last year, him and his 2 boys all shot decent bucks with the same rifle. He really liked the sirrocos but I was having trouble finding them so I threw 40 together at a pressure load I’d found in a browning rifle and crossed my fingers. Put 3 in a rounded hole at 100 and that was that. I had his boy hold over at 300 and was within a 2” of the bullseye and called it done. I only shot it at 600 out of curiosity and we were using cameras and had a 3’x3’ white cardboard with a paper target in the center and couldn’t even see hits on cardboard. Granted this was an extremely cheap scope and I was guessing on holdover I think was 52” so I raised up and down a bit but really wasn’t worth the bullets to try as they never come close to that distance. Just thought it was weird and maybe twist wasn’t quite enough. Was some fairly strong crosswind but didn’t have an issue with the other rifles I shot. [/QUOTE]
