Tough to keep out the riffraff

25 shots at 50y in very heavy wind. 15-20 sustained and gusts well over 30. Mostly a 1:30 headwind with some shifts to 12:00. Don’t know how much I was holding off because I was trying a different scope and had to zero it in that wind. I may see today where it’s at in calmer conditions. I don’t think the low shot was a gun flier. I went to another bull immediately after in the same condition and shot 2 more in the same place. Just a change in wind drift that I couldn’t discern? The main group likely averages around .25 MOA.

38.5 gr slugs at 850

Bad batch of pellets.......

Sorry Mike, couldn't resist.

Here’s one from this morning in much lighter conditions. Using my “good” slugs this time. Haha

It seems I was clicked in about 2 rings lateral and close to 1 ring vertical from yesterday.

You are such a tease … you are making it difficult to have patience, patience, patience … grasshopper.

That is so cool to see Mike, it makes me realize what it can be if everything is right.
How satisfying it must be to have it right so often.
And I know how much effort goes into making it right. Thanks for sharing your efforts and information on how you do it.
I always appreciate your posts.

Boring wins BR matches.

Mike, do you possess some magical tool to measure bore diameter ? Thats the only thing that i can think of that would make you say pellets don’t really need to be sorted and for you to be so confident in your barrels. Not trying to be a smart ### or anything but trying to understand

thomasair · Jun 10, 2023

These are not pellets. These are slugs.

You can measure the bore with gauge pins, and the groove diameter with a slug and a micrometer.

Gauge pins? Could you please elaborate. Is this something you make?

thomasair · Jun 10, 2023

Ground pins in .0001” increments. These are made by Deltronic.
