ZEROING IN...

well the recent perchase of a new 300 win mag has begun the blood flowin in the ever present need to see blood flowin. with a little help from the shootin log of mr stephanie jones (formerly chris ziesloft) i have been able to go out and dial in a couple of decent rounds. the first outing, in fact the first few rounds through the 300 produced a 150 yard group of .479" which releived the anxious doubts of buying an unproven rifle new in the box. after seeing this initial group with little to no adjustments of chris's suggestion for a good accurate round, a buddy of mine from work and I comensed to unloading on some one gallon water jugs (video will be posted shortly). very impressive round. the next weekend chris came down to my part of the woods for some shootin fun while the girls gave my soon to arrive baby a shower. well the plan was to reach out to 500 yards and try to get in on a round that looked good for shootin 1000 but mother of nature had other plans. we set up @ 150 yards for a couple of shots, to make certain that the rifles were behavin and produced a measured group of .246". looking good to pull back to 300. this is where mother nature decided to kick our asses. chris and i decided that the wind was blowing in @ about 15-25 mph which made the shots a little more tricky. well since we were firing test rounds trying to develop a load groupings were getting a little big. not to worry, after determining that shooting groups was out of the question, we decided to blast at some water filled lone star light cans (to fire form our cases) and have a little fun in the wind. this turned into a lead slinging barrel heating debauchery of destructive fun. chris and i started taking well placed shots in high winds at 3" aluminum bogeys. the results were amazing. maybe next time the winds will calm for some good quarter mile shots. will post videos soon, happy shooting
