Thread: Calling all ballistics experts

HA ha..done that before !

My dear friend @Boaraxa, we haven't spoke lately but i can let you know that i "ALMOST" lost my sleep thinking about your "problem" and my suggestion "solution" is, lets try a different scope with dealing system in your rifle and make sure none of us are going crazy for a "simple" matter. You know me and how much i try to be "perfect" (you know i am NOT, 4 shots to drop a deer) but i don't think the actual problem is with your reload and or even with your Browning…
I am heading to my local 100yd range for a sight in and chronograph session this morning and if you are "free" you are more than welcome to come over for a chat and shot.

Have an awesome day as always my friend, regards to the family and keep fit as i am "almost" there… (another month or two)…

Im out this morning mate but I am heading to the big smoke thisarvo , just happen to have a bag full of veno I could drop that off ...maybe a rifle to
Had a good reloading session yesterday so have a good supply of ammo , if I get the chance today I will do another drop chart starting at 200 -400-500y without doing any dialling to confirm drop , there's not a breath of wind atm just need to geta hold of the cocky .

@Boaraxa any luck?

Ha @Nibblet well the plot thickens , so I went back a few days ago fired 10 rounds at 200 , shots were 6"
high but I did remove the stock to loktight a screw as I put a new trigger spring & I never got around to make sure it was 100% secure , but in all likely hood our 200y zero may not have been , I tried to find the shooting spot but the cocky had sheep in the paddock so I couldn't find it, so naturally I wanted to re zero at the 200 however when I went to adjust the scope I noticed the bloody scope had moved forward , even though the ring screws had been loktighted they still came loose!! so I came home took them all off , tighted , loktighted , done rite....no on further inspection the rings somehow mount into the xbolt system had also been blasted back so after around a hundered bucks worth of ammo im back to square one , il be taking the rifle to the shop next week for them to fix or replace the mounts..these magnums can be a real pain in the ass at times.

True Boaraxa but once you have it sorted they do work a treat, good luck looks as if you have sorted the problem. Be nice to get out and use it on some game.

So to put this thread to bed or lay it down for a while !! I swapped the meopta 3-18 for a vx5 3-15 now I still cant say for certain there was anything wrong with the meopta the mounts/rings may not have been done 100% from the get go , talking to my mate the young fella at the shop that set it up may not have tightened things up sufficient but that said these magnums have a way of been hard on gear , moving forward I zeroed the new scope (thanks @Paddy79 ) at 200y then went to 400 could see the group a little to the rite so moved 1 click left then 500 , its not my finest shooting by any means but finally some success after chasing my tail for some time , I relied solely on the app for the 6 shots , the app said 3.7 moa at 400 so I adjusted 3moa & 3 clicks for 500 it said 5.9moa so I rounded it to 6 that said the 500 group is a touch higher .
