More for the 350 Legend guys. 2 weeks til hunting trip. Gotta do another range trip...
Loaded 20 of each 158 fury and 165 ftx. Near 28 gr of Lil Gun. Forgot chrono. Winds blustery and too much for a kite and group shooting slow rifle loads.
Sighting Diamondback 3-9x40 BDC on rifle.
Top is 175 yds 165 ftx. 2 sets of 3. Bottom is 225 yds. Set of 3, then final 2 rounds. Same center cross hair for each. The only change is my hold on the gun. Bipod w fleece jacket for rear support. Not sure why some lower than others but maybe parallax on scope due to head position ?
The 158 fury loads were shooting tighter at 175 yds but no pics. Had 2 touching at 175 before adjusting scope. Ran out of 158s trying to use the BDC on the scope. It's like there is minor diff between 175 and 225 but not enough to worry about. Last 5 shots below w diff levels on BDC scope. Top 2 are aligned vertical, wind blew the other shots to right.
I used the 145 solids for initial sighting and had some left to shoot at 225. This is what they did. Bottom holes in cardboard under target is not from me.
Not quite ready to hunt with it yet. The extra 200-300 fps seems to be changing the actual ballistics a bit. Does NOT match the online ballistic calculator data.
The ballistic coefficient between the 165 ftx and the 158 fury is becoming evident in the ftx grouping higher w what was about 80 fps less velocity last range trip.
Also need to figure out scope. Nice clarity in daylight but have a 3-9x40 Leupy that will go on if the BDC isn't needed out to 250. May put that on 357 mag rifle for fun.
Not exactly happy w groups one high, one low. Need to settle in a bit more, use sled or something but if it is parallax, be nice to know.
