Great day at the 200 yard range, despite the 3-6 mph winds. Splitting playing cards

[rodjava]

Great day that the Diablo Rod and Gun Club in Concord, CA shooting my Texan at 200 yards.
Winds were 3-6 MPH right to left. I 3d printed some simple card holders to see if I can split cards at 200 yards.

I was able to split 2 cards and possibly 3 cards at 200 yards. 2 of the 3 cards blew away in the winds after impact.
Texan .257 LLS 72 grain Griffin slugs 3000 psi at approx. 990 fps.
Cold Shot, Vector Optics Minotaur 12x60x60 scope,, Remple Fclass bipod and tethered with a Regman regulator and 98 cubic pcp tank.

Rod in San Francisco

Niccccce! But now I feel odd that I'm used to shooting in 10-15mph winds
Today was a no go bc its gusting up to 50mph and a constant of about 25-30mph
I thought about it though...just not enough hours

Nice shooting and rig Rodjava. The Air Force haters just keep on hating. Single shot, too much flex, too simplistic. All true but the Damm things shoots. You got the Griffin's dialed in.

Thanks again.

I shoot 2 inch MOA at 200 yards all day long. But today I was able to shoot 1 inch MOA in order to split the cards.

Great visuals Rod! Believe me people, Rod is underplaying his achievement.... The winds were gusting higher then 6 mph.

You going to buy another .257 ?

I forgot to mention that I have a MadDog stock which stiffens up the rifle.

Steve, thanks for being very generous with your compliments. I just got lucky today.
