Well gents I tried again because I wasn't satisfied with my 1st-200 yard day. Couldn't ask for a better day today. Low 50's and by the time I left the temp was just reaching the 70's. No wind and a clear blue sky. I used this BIRCHWOOD CASEY deer target with the vitals. ( suggested to me by my friend Carlos). I really believe it helped me get my bullets in the kill zone. Here are the pics.
First target I was aiming right at the top of the deer's back, 5 shots. ( My V2 is zeroed @ 100 ). 2ND Target I aimed 2"s over his back. I seen I was still low with the first 5 shots. Those last 3 shots were in the lungs and that brought the smile. 3rd pic are the clean shot primers. Carlos, your the man :!:You told me I wouldn't have any more blow and you were 100% correct.
4th pic is the 100 and 200 yard rifle range and the last 2 pics is were the smoke poles are shot. It's called the wilderness range. Really laid back and your in the woods. Theres 25, 50, 100 and 130 yard range. It's a great hide away....... Only problem at the widerness area is there isn't a 200 yard range. I shoot there all the time.
I didn't swab the barrel at all but I pulled the plug once and reamed it out. I used the PARKER BALLISTIC EXTREME 275 grainers. Those last 3 shots in the lungs were a nice little group for 200 yrds. 78 grains weighed Blackhorn 209 and as you can see in the pic Fiocchi Primers. A friend of mine at the range let me try his chrono and I was getting 1986 fps. I was happy with that also :cheers:
Now its time for the stix...........
