Decided to stretch Calico's legs this morning. Bead front and aperture rear sight.
Usual load. 250 grain Hornady XTP in a Harvester crush rib over 70 grains 3f Swiss. 1575 fps chrono'd.
Now there was a breeze, not full value, but enough to cause GRRRS.
BOOM...whack.
Even with the breeze. 3 rounders at 200 were right around 4 1/2 inches, with 23 inches of drop.
That's why 150 is my limit on critters. No off body holds thank you. 8 inches down at 150.
Must say it was fun! Next time I'll bring flags. And patience...
