Re-Pete Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Looks like I need to try these ELD's............. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gungrinner Posted February 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 The eldm are cheap so I thought I would give them a try. If there don't work I will move to the more expensive new Berger 85.5 Grain Long Range Hybrid Target with an impressive but BC. https://bergerbullets.com/new-berger-22-caliber-85-5-grain-long-range-hybrid-target-bullets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Re-Pete Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 You might be interested in this if you shoot at Bisley..................they're trialling the Shotmarker electronic target system. Attached is a screenshot off the tablet. The system measures the velocity as the bullet passes through the target, which is nice. Centre blob where it shows "5" is the velo of last shot, right hand blob shows av velocity for 10 shots + the group size.. 6.5x47 at 500yds a couple of weeks ago. It has done better...............dunno why the error message showe, maybe a faulty connection. Techies soon fixed it. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gungrinner Posted February 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Thanks. I hope to get up there on Sunday afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gungrinner Posted March 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Wet and windy Sunday a few weeks back at 300y. First 2 shots were sighters. Need a bit more practice with the windage.💨💨🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Re-Pete Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Was that the Kongsberg system? That's also good.......you can get a printout while u wait. We just got back from a nice morning at 300yds. I've been waiting for weeks for a decent weather window, and I booked this morning's session at 15.00 yesterday afternoon! No-one appeared to be using the Intarso's at 600yds............. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gungrinner Posted March 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 I was getting some strange vertical fliers with intarso's this week at 600 on target 44. Shots were up and down as much as 1.5 moa. Never had that before with the same batch of ammo. Some shots not picked up at all with ggg 69g ammo I had a go with. Need to do some more testing on a calm day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Re-Pete Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 We've had similar dodgy results. I hear the F-class guys are very reluctant to use them now, as am I............... It's an expensive waste of time and money if you can't trust the feedback. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Private Marker Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Slightly OT but a word of caution about the electronic targets. If you accidentally damage them, you may be in for a big bill. A fellow marker told me one of his clients took out one of the mikes, and Bisley charged him £600 for the damage. I've never heard of that with the manual targets. It's probably in Bisley's t&c but worth pointing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Private Marker Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 That's a bit of a discrepancy if it was only one of the mikes. I don't know about the extent of the damage. I do know the shooter won't use the electronic targets again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can hit one of them whilst aiming at the centre, then you probably shouldn't be using the electronic targets anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Private Marker Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Have to agree with you Roy W. But that's true of any target or shooter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(seating depth to be sorted when I get my hands on the rifle) Will those 80 grainers feed from the aics mag ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gungrinner Posted September 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 I can report that both the 80gr HELDM and the Berger 85.5 gr both fit in my plastic aics mag. JUST👍 Loading can be problematic if you have a steep feed ramp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
