First range report - should I change anything

Hammer49 · 10-17-2008, 06:50 PM

Hey guys,

Here is the first range report from me. I tried several differencet combos but got the best results from 120 gr FF T7 loose pushing 250 gr shockwaves. The is the second time to shoot my Encore Pro-hunter and I really like it so far. The results are on the 100 yeard bench, with the high right being a flinch...the guy right next to me squeezed off a .300 win mag as I was pulling the trigger (I hate that too!).

Thoughts or recommendations?????

Very nice looking set up. I am not sure I would change anything unless you wanted a slight scope adjustment.

Cayugad-

I was thinking a couple clicks right and one up. Do you think that will do? I will confirm on the range but was thinking about adjusting it tonight.

Thanks!!!

I would move 4 clicks right and leave it alone, unless your shooting long distances, and if you intend to shoot 200 yard shots I would move it 3" high at 100, in this way your shooting MPBR (max point blank range) from 0 to 200. SW are one accurate bullet in an Encore. Chap Gleason

I always like to move a little more then I might need, so I would move four clicks to the right and two clicks up. That should put them hits filling that bulls eye. Anything that would come with in200 yards of you is in for a world of hurt. That is a powerful load and excellent accuracy.

Nice shooting! I wouldn't change anything, except like the other guys said, make a couple minor adjustments to you scope. If it ain't broke, don't fix it...
