So this weekend i went out and had a bit of range time with my 300wm, shooting sako ammo, the 180gr ArrowheadII.
It was a little low and left at 100m, so i moved the scope a bit to be 1/2" high at 100m, i left the horizontal as it was, as i only wanted to move one thing at a time while we checked out what was happening (and as we were supposed to be out hunting, i was happy at 1/2"left of centre at 100m) and then we moved back to 150m and 200m to see the effect and the bullet path.
This is where it gets a bit confusing for me.
At 150m, the group hit about 2 1/2"right and 3"high of centre, the group was quite tight.
there was a small breeze coming through from the left, but not strong at all and i would've guessed minimal effect on the bullet. the range is in the open, but to the left is pretty thick bush and tall trees so i did not think the wind would cause much drift.
At 200m, the group hit about 3 1/2" right and about 2" high.
The shots were good, nothing indicating a flinch or a bad shot in general, I felt pretty steady and the rest was off the bonnet of the crusier with thick soft blanket rolled up as a rest. only my elbows were resting on the vehicle so no part of the gun was in contact with the vehicle.
The shots in each group were pretty tight at all ranges.
So to all in the know, please help...
and for interests sake, it all came together a bit later on to put some meat in the freezer!
