Went to the range today to try out a load I have been working on for my .223 untouched Savage action with a Shilen 1-9 twist barrel shooting a 75 A-Max with H322. I had resonable success at 100 yards, but it didn't set the world on fire, but always consistant. I shot is at 100 yards and again, decent.
I then went to the 200 yard line to see the results. I guessed at the adjusted elevation and was close. After I got through 4, I couldn't believe the grouping. Of course I pulled the fifth.
I continued to shot figuring this first group was a fluke. One more click for elevation and windage. After the second 5 shot group I thought I might be on to something.
So I shot the third 5 shot group just to confirm. I made one more click for elevation and windage. I could not believe it.
Now lets see if I can duplicate this next week. Then I'd really have something. This might have been just wasnt one of those days where the shooting gods smilled on me. I even thought the .17 HMR even shot well at 200 yards.
Here's to shooting,
Mitch
