I received as an early X-mas gift a new Leupold 6 X 18 with the LRV Duplex in it. I've been all excited all week to get it mounted on my M-700 VTR .223 and go play. I somewhat sighted in @ 50yds then moved out to 100yds. The Right top three are the first three shots. I used the Big Game Info sight with the ballistics calculator to figure out where I needed to be @ 100 for a 200 zero. ( Wow.. works fairly well ) !! I needed to be 1.6 high at 100 so I dialed it down and shot three more... ( bottom right --- don't ask what happened to the last shot... the low one :evil: )
I then moved it out to 200 ( the red sticky on the box and pretty much dead on ) ?? Moved it out to 300 and went 3 for 3 on some clay piegons I had found..... Needless to say, I like the new scope :grin:
Took the M-700 .260 to ensure it was 1.6 high @ a hundred as well for next weeks elk tag that my Dad has. Three shots with the 130gr A-bonds @ .400 C/C w/the fist two through the same hole...( It's ready ) NOW I NEED MORE 130 GRAIN A-BONDS ??????????????????
Also took Dad's 7mag with 140gr A-Bonds. I was able to capture one in the 5th milk-jug....96.8 grains remaining :grin:
I've seen nothing but cosistency though all the different calibers of A-bonds I've shot.... ( Phenominal Nosler ) !!
