Shot the wmc 1st w/90gr t7 3f, 300g speer gd Black crushrib., stiff breeze from right to left 10 to 20mph. strung the group to 3" right to left. not great but not bad out of the 21"bbl. Then I shot the Knight Bighorn .50 w/209 adapter. shot a green crushrib w/300grxtp about 4"low from poa, 1 shot. Then I loaded 90g T7 3f w250gr parker ballistic xtreme, 3 shots overlapped the holes 2"high 1"left from poa. then 90gr t7 3f w/275g bal xtreme 2" group w2 touching. then 300g hydracon weft and high no good grouping 4''[:'(][:'(] those parkers are $$ but those 250s and 275s are working!!

Good shooting there Thump. If you've got a scanner on your computer, just bring your targets home and scan them. Easier than taking pictures.

I shoot at apiece of cardboard about 15x30 to tune in . I think now I can tape typing sie sheets to th target stand , thanks for the suggestion. Course I'll have to have Patty show me how to use the scanner then get th info from ther to here. I'm a computer klutz!

Good shooting... I like to put a colored 3X5 index card in the middle of what I am shooting at with open sights. I figure if I can hit that, I can sure hit a deer at the distance I am shooting.
