the last thread has been interesting and i have another series for review. i'll put these in a new thread here to hopefully cut down on any confusion. i've also included my sighters for those that want to see them.
this next set was shot at the Rattlesnake in Raton last year. this was my first trip to the range and, as expected, my tune from my home range wasn't even close. i experimented with norma 200 some last year and this was one of the matches i used it. one thing i noticed, even at 100 yards, my load was extremely sensitive all weekend. the slightest change in velocity or direction would sent a bullet out an inch at 200.
same basic setup except:
broughton barrel
norma 200
target #1
66 gr flat based bullet
0.010 back of full jam
started with 26.8gr N200
very light condition, probably 1-5 mph.
target #2
same except went up on powder. (i'm a bit hesitant to post my actual as i used way more powder than i would ever try at home.)
winds increased, 5-10
target #3
same powder charge as #2
it's blowing now, 10-20
target #4
increased powder from last target
wind similar to last target
target #5
increased powder again
wind similar
so, what adjustment would y'all have made?
what would you have done to try to deal with the sensitivity to the wind?
thanks!
