Default Final tune of the White for season



This was the final tuning of the White Ultra Mag. I had the scope sighted in at 50 yards and decided to up that to 70 yards. I shot the first group under the tape and was surprised that a simple 20 additional yards would make that 500 grain conical drop that far. So I adjusted the scope and then got it hitting the tape for the next ten shots. At no time did I swab the barrel between shots. I just loaded 70 grains of Triple Se7en 3f and a BullShop 500 grain Conical and used some CCI Magnum caps for ignition.

I then wanted to see what the rifle would do at 100 yards but was to lazy to push the bench back there and reset up, so I took my shooting sticks and lawn chair and shot that other group. Again, an additional 30 yards and it start to drop that big conical even more. But over all I was pleased with the shooting and think I might be able to give a deer some trouble should they come within 100 yards of me.
