Sub 2" group at 620 yards in 20+ winds
« on: June 10, 2014, 10:09:04 PM »
I prefer to practice in the wind, and with gusty winds over 20mph today, I gathered up my Rbros 6.5x47 Lapua and my practice ammo (culls), I had just loaded on the Dillon 550, and headed to the range.
  A fresh coat of paint on the 620 yard steel and headed back to the firing line.
Dialed up 3.3 MIL's ( forget to add 1 tenth) checked wind value and from prone with a rear bag and bi-pod, I squeezed off these 3 rounds.
  Group is 1.9" left to right and .8" tall.
6.5 Lapua, Berger 130 VLD target, 42.2 grains of H4350, CCI 450 primers.
yup, done for the day.

Nice! That's a good poke :tup:  :drool:  :twocents:

Looking forward to stretching the legs of my Grendel soon. 500 yards is my goal by summers end. 600 would be  :yike:  :tup:  :IBCOOL:

Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans.

Nice group. What were you holding on?  I am in the camp of aim small miss small but it is hard to pick out an poi with a white target.

Center up on the steel with my the correct hold for wind.
Elevation is dialed, wind this time was held.
