Heading down to Taupo range to sight in new tikka,hope it doesn't rain too much!
Its pissing down here mate, windy too! I don't think tomorrow's any better.
Tokoroa? Its covered too.
Just got back from Taupo was a pretty wet day,was good in the running boar range as its covered but only goes to 50mtrs, now my question is:
If I get say 1/4inch high at 50mtrs what will it b at 100,200,300?
I can't b too far off because I was putting holes in the bottom of a small V can at 50mtrs haha bit of fun before coming home
Rough maths would say 1/2 at 1oo m etc but you really need to shoot at that range.
what load/caliber?

My seven mil is shot in at fifty meters and still shots gongs out to one iffy meters ok
Rig is a standard tikka t3 as 708 am using factory hornady superformance 139grain SST as it likes them more over federal blue box
Yea I really want to test it out to 300ish
Next time you come down keep driving 30-40 mins out of town towards Napier. There's plenty of spots to stretch your legs
Yea I might have to mate,don't know any places up here to shoot,was tempted to go for look up Clements this arvo aye need to get rifle sorted before my fly in trip in october
The answer to that will depend on a lot of factors such as the range distance the rifle is zeroed at, the BC of the projectile, the speed it is travelling, etc. There are plenty of gurus on here (I am not one of them) so give them the data and they will have a ball telling you.Quote:

Try it , its the easiest one too use but don't forget too calculate BC and scope height.
Than heaps guys,goes I also need to get out and practice with it and keep shooting paper,where in the Waikato could I shoot out to 300? May have to ask a few farmers I think:)
You may have to wait until after calving as that is full swing now on most farms.Quote:

You should consider joining the Tokoroa Shooting Sports Complex. You even get your own key for an additional $10. The covered sighting in range has two concrete benches. Target boards at 50m, 100m and 200m. It's also one hour closer to Hamilton.
how do you join the tokoroa shooting complex?
so back at range yesterday and was shooting bang on the mark at 50 metres then went to 100 metres and still bang on the mark (the mark being an inch square)so i assume thats good enough haha
My apolgies RS, I didn't see your question.Quote:
