Went to the range yesterday
Hello
Went to the range yesterday. Shot my scoped Austin & Halleck inline. Like always pleased with its performance. Used two fifty grain pyrodex pellets for all shots, tried three different sabots. Run a alcohol swab between each shot.
The shooting was off a sandbag rest on an overcast day with a slight breeze from left to right.
175 grain devel sabots shot about a inch and half group.
250 grain Hornandy SSTs shot a one inch group.
300 grain Hornandy SSTs shot a inch and three quarters group.
The Hornandy 250s are the sabots I hunted with last year. Did a good job on a doe, so I won't be switching anytime soon. Though I may try the shockwave sabots made by hornandy in a lighter weight to see how they fly.
I shot one group of three with the 250 SSTs at 200 yards to see the results. The gun is right on a 100 yards. I was pleased with the group (all on a horizontal line thirteen inches low. Spread about 3-4 inches). But it reaffirmed why I don't shoot at deer at this range
.
Below is the target used for the three shots at 200 yards. The tape in the target is from my son shooting his 7mm mag, the large sheet of cardboard was on the target and we taped every hole in case we shot off our target.
