300 Yard Test

[HuntClub]

Took my Ridgeline to the range for a 300 yard test. Load is a 150 TTSX (7mm Rem Mag). First shot I aimed with top of "fat" bar on reticle and was high. Moved center of reticle to top of orange target circle and 3 shot test produced a 1 1/4" grouping. Results taught me a lot and I am very confident going into hunting season now.

Sure many of you can do much better but I am very happy with the results.

Will put blood and meat on the ground.

How are you sited at 100, dead on ? If so, if you adjust to 1 3/4 high on 100, you will be there without any adjustments for 300. 100 to 300 dead on.

I have my zero set for 200 yards. See target with three shot at 1.75" high at 100.

Every ballistic calculator I use shows there will be roughly 7" drop at three hundred - with the 1.75" high grouping at 100.

Great, you won't have to think, just point to shoot. Like your target set up. Is the orange dot a 1" circle ?

Nice shooting. Actual field testing like what you did will show you exactly what your drop will be.

1" circle used at 100 yards. 3" used at 300 yards. The target is my own homemade design. It works really well for me.
