There, see...I`m thinking HP with sling and Irons..my bad.
I shoot sling'n'irons as well, but when developing loads I stick on the optical sighting devices! ( grin)
For years I used 100 yards for initial testing , but the last few years I have been doing load developmet at 200 or 300 meters, then running the same load at 600 to check it.
Then the danged scope comes off and we get down to business!
The wind - and lately the amount of clothing I need to shoot with work a lot more against me than my loads do, for sure!
Yesterday I was shooting at 800 meters in -14c temps and overcast, shot 6 inners and one bull at 03:0, moved the rear sight 1MOA and shot a magpie at 11:00 and 0ne at 01:30!
Moved the sight back, and adjusted my sling a bit, and shot three V's in a row, all with the same ammo that was super accurate . Jeepers I am my own worst enemy! LOL
