happyhunter Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 What kind or range were you shooting? I was out feild testing data for the .223 and 52grn a-max as never had tested it out past 300yards as its usually has nv ontop. At 531 yards I was 3/4 moa low (had 10moa dialled in) on a shot at a crow the round impacting at his feet and leaving behind a good clump of tail feathers! A magpie at 325 wasn't so lucky (2.75moa dialled in) it just exploded with a nice pop. After nothing else showed (snowing hard at this point) I ranged and dialled in on a tree stump with a nice knot on one side as an aim point, at 473 yards with 7.5moa dialled in I fired 3 shots in quick succession but couldn't see the impacts so wandered over for a look. The shots were once again about 3/4 moa low of the knot but the vertical spread was less than .5" but the gusty breeze or me opened the horizontal spread to 2.3". Was chuffed to say the least and now I've got the data verified Iam looking forward to popping a few more winged vermin when I get the time. The rifle used was tikka t3 lite with zeiss 6.5-20x50 conquest, my loads were made up of once fired neck sized lapua match brass, rem primer, 26.5grn h4895, 52grn a-max with a col of 2.495". The sight is zeroed 1.75" high at 100yards (for fox under the lamp=point and shoot) also very impressed with the conquest scope it tracked perfectly and found the z-plex ideal.

Do you boys find any particular part of the day any better for the popping at the black menace. I have great fun shooting at them with the hmr out the tractor when ploughing. mostly shoot in the morning but i had my best day with rifle in the afternoon,but i dont think it makes much differance myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
