Dougy Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 2 off stubble tonight, 1st was 135yds the second was 185 so a little further than normal but it winded me and didn't fancy coming closer. Both shot using 55grn Sierra SBT bullets for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Well done Doug. That will bump the average up range up a little ;-) The bullets, a normal lead spitzer boat tail? Like they use to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 No idea it's on old box I've had for a while. They won't shoot in my other rifle and I just tried them in this one a few weeks ago and they don't seem too bad. Distance wise, 1st was a surprise really, got to the top of the track and had a look with the thermal and it was there. It seem to just stop and sit as a stopped the truck,not wanting to spook it I got the rifle off the back seat and shot from my driving seat. A tad awkward but managed. The other ran into a call later from my side, but then turned with the wind coming from me, so that had winded me and was turned ready for off.

Dougy Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Nice one mate how was Diggle Room for improvement, lol With a score of 86, and on tbe first exposure I didn't take a shot, tooo slow and possibly with my group scored a max if I had of, then add one complete mkss of the head at 300 I should have been in the nineties. But I didn't, so ifs and buts and all that. But a good day really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) UD This is a similar type of box that the bullets are in, so a few years old. but obviously 22 cal and SPT type. and flat not boat tailed. (Edit just in case someone tries to put them in a 22.250, or tells me off) For the weather yesterday the scores should have been higher, there was little or no wind at all, and according to the general chat there is was very uncommon for those days. There was a three way tie for 2nd place with 99. Edited August 31, 2015 by Dougy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
