Default It made it ! Hurray

The Omega arrived today so i plan on taking it out for a test run tomorrow and see how i can do at 500 yards with it . I figure there is no need to post pics since everyone has seen it in the other thread
95 gr by weight of Blackhorn , 270 emax , .060 veggie wad , its zeroed at 100 so it should be 17.5 moa at 500 according to saturdays match at friendship with that load and range .

I agree. Bestill sent me the figures from his competition , which makes it a nice starting point . 200 yds 3moa
300 yds 7 moa
400 yds 11.5 moa
500 yds 17.5 moa
So that makes it a lot easier to just start shooting instead of spending time working that all out myself .

If it shoots as good as it looks, you got a winner for sure

What is the velocity of that load?

It should be between 2250 and 2300 . I havent got a chrono reading but i will ask tomorrow . Bestill should know exactly since he shot it at thematch . . I know with 105 gr by weight it is 2450 .
