I took my Knight Moutaineer out today to sight in the new scope and to shoot the 285 gr Powerbelt ELR bullets. It only took 2 shots to get it close at 25 yards after bore sighting it then moved the target out to 100 yards. A couple shots more and I had it where I wanted it after some scope adjustments. Next was to shoot a group.
Well I'm really disappointed with the ELRs 3 shots into a 3" group! I had some 200 gr Lehigh Bloodlines in the shooting box so I decided to see how they would do. I only had 5 more preweighed charges so I fired 2 and hit just left of the bull. Adjusted the scope and fired 2 more. Those are just above the bull. Last shot I turned the scope down just a bit too far and hit just under the bull.
I really want to shoot those ELRs but I'm going to have to do some load tweaking to shrink that group if I want to shoot any distance.
BTW the Viridian Lyxa scope it really nice and clear.
