Default RE: 200 yard shooting with Savage smokeless

Good shooting there Chap, 200 yards is tough but can be fun.

After I get my hunting load fine tuned, I spend most of my practice time shooting beyond 100 yards out to 200 yards in preparation for hunting season. More than a few times, when conditions were right, I have shot sub 3" groups at 200, it sure makes you feel good about your equipment when you can do that consistently. I like to fine tune my scopes windage at 150 to 200 yards because the error is easier to see at that range, just have to do it with no wind so it's accurate. Right now I'm planning on using my White UM with a peep and a 460 conical for elk this year. I will be practicing with it out to 200 yards since there are many places where I'm hunting this year that could offer a shot that far or further. I also shoot my GPH out to 200 yards with a peep, that's a lot of fun too.
