DANG NEW GUNS

[jmad_81]

So my wife bought me a new R-15 in .223 for an early christmas present, God bless her anyway! I put a Sightron SI 3x9x40 Mill dot on it. Been shooting 27gr. and 27.5 gr. of H335 and 40gr BT fairly well, an inch or so. In the las three days I have missed three dogs under 250 yards :x . I know with out a doubt that if I had been packing my 22-250 they all would have died. Getting used to new gun is frustrating the he!! out of me. Seems all I'm doing is making smarter yotes!

Looks like I'm going to be haveing some good range time coming up. Maybe trying some 50 gr. BT's.

:evil: I'll keep ya posted.

I love my 22-250 but it took so getting use to because I was using on coyote my 30-06 and my deer load the 165gr Sierra HPBT. Killed 52 coyote with that 30-06 in a year and a half helping my friend who was a game warden. He told me I would not be able to hit those dogs out there in those plowed up bean fields. Well, fired 53 times killed 52 dogs, closest shot was 125yds and farthest was 426yds with my average distance over 52 kills being 290yds.

Now I say all of that because I got a 22-250 and got to missing on the 375-450yd shots. I finally figure out it was the wind drift which was greater than my 165gr Sierra was drifting but once I figured thing out it was dead dogs in the field. :lol:

I think that the biggest thing for me is that this is my first AR type gun so it is a big difference from all my bolt guns. I went out again today and did some load testing and have two loads that shoot 50gr. BTs into an inch. so now all i have to do is get the drop figured out and the mill holdovers.

POP- I'M NOT COMPLAINING BY ANY MEANS, I WAS VENTING SOME FRUSTRATION!!!! All of the shots I missed were under 250 yards, and missing three in two days standing still just shouldn't happen.

Bullet- thats some good shooting with the ol -06, nicely done.
