September Scores

[horseman2]

Tried the new targets printed on photo paper which give a nice clear cut hole.
The two targets are essentially ARA style targets for .22 BR.
Did not have any flags up and the first 10 showed a score of 950.
When I felt a little wind on my face and saw the shots going low and left my Kentucky windage was not quite enough and the score on the next 15 was 1000.
No raving hell but I will be back . . .
Using the Remington 40X .22 Rimfire and Eley Match ammo.


2013.09.20: Changed scopes to a Leupold 36X BR from the B&L 36X.
Got one fly at 50 m. with the new scope.

Shooting 3 diferent velocities of Eley Match, each with different lot #'s, and a 5 fps variation over the three.
C-C group sizes were .332 (1062), .173 (1063) and .246 (1067), and all shot to a different POI.

While many would think a .22 LT will leave a .22 hole, depending on the quality of the paper, the largest diameter was .198.

The chamber is rather tight and I learned that a chambered round could not be extracted. That round should not be shot for score once it was attempted to be extracted nor should a fail to fire be struck again for score. Not worth taking a chance as their reliability appeared compromised.

Remington 40X with Leupold BR 36X. Eley Match ammo with a 1067 velocity.

A bit of wind and no wind flags. Sighted in for 50 yards and turned it up 7 moa to go to 100 which accounts for the two high shots on the Sighter. The target on the lower left . . . a nice guy might give the shooter the benefit of the doubt . . . but I am not that a nice guy! The best target is 1.1 c-c. Those shots running high and left cannot be explained . . . no excuses.
