Default Wow -- 52 degrees

The loggers started cutting up top, and are using the area where i can shoot 200 yard, for their corridor. They ran a blade on the old trail, and soon there will be 18 wheelers bringing the logs down. It will be months before i will shoot 200 yards in the old spot there. Shucks.

It was 52 degrees when i arrived up there, and there was almost zero breeze. Set up for 100 yard shooting about a mile away, and shot 3 shots at the typing paper. These shots had me dial the scope down 1/2 moa, before shooting some more. Graf sent some free targets along with bullets i had purchased, so i pasted one over the first 3 shots, and took 3 more.











What with the first shot being from a cold clean barrel, the first group was about twice as big as the second.
