135 yards, .20/15.89gr

[Franklink]

Been awhile since I extolled the virtues of the .20 Heavy, and also happen to be shooting it right now.

Had a couple better groups (best was 5/10 into about 3/4 of an inch) but these three are the best 3 on the same page.

This is 30 consecutive shots, 10 shots/1magazine at each orange sticker. I did this 3 stickers thing twice before this one and had the wind kinda figured out by here.

Placed a 100yd moa coin on there for perspective.

None of the three groups are 135 yard MOA, but I was pretty happy with how well I could steer them, especially considering these are 15.89 gr pellets at the wind peak of the day and it was switching on me.

And the best part? Not one flyer.

They're moving at 910-915fps so just under 30fpe.

Thanks guys. They're not little tight groups so they don't look very impressive but it's sure cool to shoot such a tiny pill that far and get it to go where I want it. And it feels about like shooting a 20fpe field target gun, NONE of that shoulder bump/scope bounce we get when we're shooting the big fpe stuff.

All 30 of those shots would have hit a prairie dog at that distance, and most of them would have even dropped a 3inch kill zone/100 yard Xtreme field target.

@Franklink .20 at 135 yards? Not bad shooting at all. How was the wind?

Sorry, just saw your question.

Wind was really variable that day, in intensity and direction. I wasn't getting much up and down push, but definitely left and right. I had to hold off as little as 1/4th of a mil and and much as 1 mil. I'd guess it was something like 8-12mph at the gusts, but don't have an anemometer and didn't check NWS for conditions near me that day.
