It has been very difficult for me to shoot at 200 yard, since the logging operation reworked the road into where i liked to shoot. This morning we received near 1" of rain at the house. This afternoon it looked like it was going to let up, so i loaded some vials with 130g of Blackhorn, and headed for the hills. There was no way any one would drive in on that road as muddy as it was; the loggers for sure would be at the bar. So, i set up some jugs, and shot at them. The distance from the rifle to the jugs ended up being 205 yard. The first three jugs cost me 99 cents each, and even came filled with water. The last jug cost me about $225, and i had to fill it with water all by myself. Because the rain never quit, the shooting was not recorded; didn't want to ruin the camera.
The first shot somehow just so barely skun the left side of the second, and third jug, emptying them. How it missed the front jug, i don't know. Had to drive, slip, and slide up the road, and set the remaining two jugs up again. The windage on the scope was turned right 3 clicks. After slipping and swerving backwards down the road to the bench, the rifle was loaded once again. This next shot destroyed the front jug, blew a huge entrance hole in the expensive jug, and the bullet bounced off the back side, leaving a dent, but remaining inside the expensive jug.
The next photo kinda shows the weather on the trip home; the rain never quit.
At home the bullet shot today pushed by 130g of Blackhorn, and captured at 205 yard is pictured to the right of the bullet shot months ago. I believe the bullet on the left was captured at 12 yards, and was clocked at 1335 fps. Seems like it was pushed by 65g of Blackhorn.
