Today I got up early for a change to beat the blustery weather forecasted. By the time I got set up winds were already starting to blow with occasional drizzle but I decided to go for it anyway.
Today I switched to 100 gr BV of 777 driving 250 gr SST's. All shots were at 100 yds and I swabbed the bore between shots. The first two shots were touching right next to the bull's--a pleasant contrast to how my range sessions usually start LOL. However, winds started picking up and gusted to 25 from various directions--so I rushed the next shots with no cool down between shots--that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. As the barrel warmed--and/or I got sloppier while rushing the shots--the POIs migrated right and up slightly.
Nonetheless I consider this a great grouping because the over-all group hung together well despite changing weather and barrel conditions--in my mind a good indicator of reliable consistency even if not the tightest grouping possible under match conditions.
