Default Range Report

Back to the range today. Overcast and calm. Results were pretty typical for me. I figure I'll bore you with more mediocre results to ensure you keep the scopes on.

Started at 50yds. w/300XTPS, took them to 100 yds., then went to 200 yds. with the 10mm/200's, and back to the 50 with 240 XTP's.

Cabela's Hawken 50 cal
GM Barrel
Open Sights


Bottom pattern: 2 11/16"

50 yds
300 XTP's
90 gr. Selects

Top pattern: 2 9/16"

240 XTP's
100 Selects

100 yds 4 1/4"
300 XTP's
90 Selects

If there was a highlight, it was putting 5 sequential shots on the 12 inch target dot at 200 which was a first for me. Two things I've noticed; 1) this load shoots flatter than I start out thinking it will 2) this gun wants to put this bullet in the lower right quadrant. You can see the 3 stick-on dots covering the hits on this target from two weeks ago.

200 yds. 8 1/4"
10MM/200 XTP's
100 Selects
