At 400 Yard

The target is a laundry jug filled with water. There is a portable shooting bench about 25' behind the truck on the far ridge. The next photo shows the smoke from the rifle the instant the powder ignites....the next photo shows the smoke dissipating after about 1/2 second, and the bullet is in the air on the way to the target

The next photo was taken a tad over a second after the rifle was fired, and shows the bullet hitting the ground by the jug

It turned out raising the elevation 33 moa was too much; 31 moa worked more better. Another problem i had was holding too far into the wind. The wind moved the bullet quite a bit less than i thought it would. The previous stills were taken from this VIDEO. After the battery in the camera ran out of energy, i finally managed to hit the jug at the lower left.
