6.5 Creedmoor GAP, 140 Hybrids, 42 grains H4350 and .090" off the lands, 3 shots @ 850 yards, wind was just a crawl. Grinned from ear to ear when I saw the 3rd splash and then came the ding. Still using Nosler brass and 13 firings on it. Out of the 50 piece lot, 2 primer pockets have been a little loose when I loaded the night before. Velocity is a nice 2790 fps average and the top hit was a cold bore shot, followed by two tight hits underneath it. Got to love that Kestrel.
Brought the .308 GAP as well, using Varget and 178 ELD-M's, i missed the plate by a few inches to the right, possibly because wind have picked up a little, so i added 3 clicks left, and it was on target, a cluster of 7 shots grouping around 3 inches with some mirage. Should have snapped a picture before I spray painted the plate again to try out the .22 Vudoo Ravage at 200 yards, but was in a hurry because the sun was beating down pretty bad. Added a target from 50, 100, and a ground pronged plate at 150, and the swinging plate at 200. Love that little Vudoo, shoots pretty well and still needs a little more breaking in, she has about 375 rounds down the tube with SK Standard ammo. I was using the hash marks instead of dialing in at 100 and 150 yards. Zeroed at 50, 6 MOA line at 100, 14 MOA line at 150 and the 200 yard line is not available, i only have 20 MOA hash marks on the ATACR, but dialed up only for 200 with 22.5 MOA. It's a piece of cake out to 150 yards, and 200 yards starts to get more challenging if there is wind. Will test different Lapua and SK ammo soon. Getting this little baby ready for some steel plate matches from 50 to 200.
