range report bh209 triumph

outdoorsmen · 09-22-2008, 10:20 PM

after i got my new scope put back on today (other one blew up) went out and shot again. temp was in the mid 70s with a light breeze in my face. i started out at 25yds then 50yds tehn to 100. i was letting my barrel cool for several minutes between each shoot until the end. my last five shots were as fast as i could load since i was running short on time. i thought that actually my group closed during my last 5 hot barrel shots. in the pic the high left in bull was the first, then i was off the bull. my last shots were right on top the bull and i ended with the center shot. i don't really know why my shots were a bit scattered. i didn't move my scope much and the wind wasn't that bad. i started off shooting off a piece of 4x4 on a bench. then i said screw this and broke out my lead sled. yeah last time i used it my scope failed, but this time i didn't use any weight on it. i just was suing it for a good rest to cradle my gun. i think it allowed me to hold steadier. triumph, 100yds, 250gr tmz, 120gr bh209, win 209a primers

Good report outdoorsman. When you say you didn't move my scope much, are your referring to scope adjustments. If so, how many of those shots were with the same scope adjustment? Also, how many with the sled?

yes i was referring to scope clicks. i desided that i sincethe majority were to theright i moved it to theleft and that's when i got the holes above the dot.
i'd say about the last 7 shotswere off thesled.
