Today I went to the range and was shooting my Marlin 25N when I had the odd Idea of seeing what kind of groups I could get out of it with cheap remington ammo at 200 yds. Man was I ever surprised! From a rest I shot at a 3 1/2 inch square peice of wood. It would hit it every time. Now one thing I did notice is that When the wind picked up It really put that bullet off course. I had the wood block sitting at the end of the range on the dirt pile and if I hit the block it would kind of jump a bit and when it was windy I could see the dirt jump about 5-6 inches to the the right. It was very interesting and i learned a lot today about wind drift and the balistics of my .22. Well not to my surprise at 50 yards I had the bullet at 10.5 inches above zero. It was pretty interesting. I knew it didn't have much energy at 200 yards cause the penetration in that soft wood was about 3/4". Ill probably be back there next weekend sighting it back in for 50 yds unless I find some reason to keep it at the setting it is at now. Just thought Id let you all know about what I did. Being a new reloader(of rifle cartridges, but experienced with shotshell loading) just these type of little experiments are really interesting. What types of things have you done like this that you may have thought yourself to be crazy?
