Ron and I went target shooting. Ron is inexperienced and I helped him load up his 308 cartridges.
Well he shot very good groups and even with the maximum powder loads.
I let him shoot my 300 Winchester magnum. He didn’t like the recoil much but anyway I really wanted to check the print pattern.
The 150 grain bullets printed an inch lower than the 180 grain bullets (same east -west).
I borrowed a lead sled to see where my hand loads were shooting in my 416 Remington magnum.
I have the rifle sighted in with Swift A-Frames (factory rounds).
Now I checked where my Woodleigh 400grain hydros with a max powder loads printed.
I could hardly believe it but they printed exactly where the A-Frames did.
Unbelievable l!
I might add that Ron didn’t want to shoot the 416. With my last shot with the 416 my right fist hit my face. (I’m right handed). Obviously I was getting complacent!!
If we ever get over the covid I’ll be using the Woodleighs on Australian buffalo.
Unfortunately my hunting trip to Tasmania to hunt fallow deer is off and hopefully I can go April next year.that is if we are”over” covid. I know I’m certainly over it!!
