Red Rabbit Report post Posted July 10, 2005 Casey and I were out this morning testing some handloads for our WSM's. After, we set out the target stand with an 8" Shoot-n See stuck to some fresh white paper. We guessed the range to be 300-350 yards, as we had no rangefinder. Shot half our shots off shooting sticks and the other half prone, over the daypack. We shot 19 times, hitting the spot 9 times, and 6 others being 2" off the perimeter. 4 out of 19 would have been misses or wounds, and those came off the shooting sticks. Shooting prone off the daypack almost seemed like cheating. Both of us were not using select handloads, but factory or hand loads that gave 2"-4" groups off the bench at 100 yards. Soooooo..... has anyone else been out practicing lately and learning abilities, cuz we all know we drew drew a December tag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted July 11, 2005 the day pack really did seem like cheatin, those sticks were like you said Doug "last resort" nex time, i will bring the harris bipod then we will be really cheating! dont forget the cross wind there was! i was shooting my 270 wsm with the varmint reticle and the 300 yard cross hair was VERY close to dead on. the scope says to sight in dead on at 200, and we think the load i was shooting was 1 inch low at 100 last time we shot it so with a a estimate or 2.5 inches higher than that we turend it up and the 300 yard marker was about 3 inches low. it was a fun time and we will have to go do that some more!
