Tonight’s 1200 yd action
6 o'clock meeting with wind and showers in the distance. 1200 yd may be in peril with the wind and rain. But after a light sprinkle the sun popped out and we headed up to the 1200 spot up on the garrett farm ridge. The benches were still dry up there. After a few sighters Anthony Hale was on and we saw an impact in the lime pile berm. A few shots later and the shot indicator flashed on the 1200 yard plate. High left. Scope adjustment. Then Preacher put a shot within six inches of the orange bullseye. Then amazingly, the next shot that black spot got bigger. Those two shots were within an inch or two of each other. Third shot went a maybe 6 inches.
low. Anthony was shooting a Savage 6mm Dasher with a March 8-80x - 56mm obj. with 34 mm tube he purchased from me the night before. I think he likes the scope. At 100 yds, he put first two through same hole, and three of four cutting each other and the fourth shot took out the chiggar dot aim point.
Next Troy Mungle sat down with his Savage 6.5 Creed. First shot lit the shot indicator up. Remarkably his first shot was an inch or two right of bull at 3 o'clock. Next three shot drifted a little right but had the exact same waterline. He was shooting a 142 or 143 gr bullet.
Great shooting from both preachers
Wind was zero, but it was almost too dark to see impact. If we had not had the Slam Bang shot indicator it would had been difficult.
I was spotting with my NF Comp 15-55x and both it and the March picked up the black impacts on the white plate in the low light. Not sure what scope Troy was shooting, possibly Vortex or Tasco (hahaha)
