Made it to the club today and found myself the only shooter on the 600yd range. Went down and hung targets at 2-3-4 and 500yds.
Shooting the 275gr Fury star tip2 bullets, veggie wad on top of a heavy dose of BH.
Used the velocity reading I got the other day, used the .280BC and JBM. Printed out the settings and they were dead on.
First 3 at 200 went made a single large hole, then I personally started doing something wrong/different and it opened up. Still not bad for not shooting in earnest for 2 years. Not happy with it, but can live with it for the first time out. Need to make some personal corrections. Had a couple "OJ's".
Sent them at 300 next. One "I did it", but 5 just less than MOA.
I've always liked shooting 400yds for some reason but..... I or something completely fell apart at 400. The 275gr bullets are light for sending 400yds.
So...…… the 500yd target is hanging so, why not? I just sent the first round and then the trucks started rolling in with shooters. I had just loaded the second round when doors started opening and shooters started packing things to the other benches. Because of the tactical brake, I told them I'd shoot my second round and call it a day. They covered up and I sent the second round, then they went to hang targets and me to pull mine. Wish I could have sent 3 more after seeing the target.
