The wind wasn't howling this morning, so i took advantage and shot the rifle. It was five degrees; bitter cold, so i shot from inside the truck with my left elbow on the window ledge, and my right elbow in the steering wheel. Made three, three shot group.
Began with a shiny clean cold barrel aimed at the low target. There was no breeze initially. The first three shots were ignited by W209 primer. Then the scope windage was moved left, then a slight right to left breeze came. Aim was changed to the top target, and three shots taken using the W209 primer.
Then the elevation dial was turned down, and on a whim, i switched the primer to the 209A. The o-ring in the breech plug socket allows for a perfect seal using both primer. Aim was bottom target, and three shots taken before the breeze increased further.
This morning shooting does not prove the 209A primer are more accurate does it? Group size was halved. Dang, it seems i am forced to shoot more.
