6mm Remington: I went out on Sunday and did some shooting at 400 and 500 yards. Caught a 90 gr. AccuBond at 400, but at 500 it and the 100 gr. Partition slipped of the jugs after going through 4 and out the side. The load with the Partition in my 6mm was 3170 last time checked and 3240 on the AccuBond. I shot a decent 100 yard 13/16" group at 100 and when I shot it at 400 it was not much bigger, about double is all. Not all of my shooting was stellar. I was trying to juggle 4 rifles, I was facing east right into the rising sun, and then mirage really got bad. I sucked with the variables on my boys 6mm and 300 WSM and the groups showed it. I was trying to test the reticles to see how close they are to real life at a measured 400 and 500. They worked pretty well, but I did not. The extra magnification actually made it harder as the heat waves were more pronounced. Anyway, finally an AccuBond at 400 yards!
This was my first group of the day. I shanked one where the red dot is. I was laying on the ground just resting on a bag with a rear bag also. Fixed 6x Leupold - Ruger #1B
90 gr. AccuBond as found
500 yards - I shot the wrong target on the third and put it right in the black on the center row of targets. Oops. It was pretty good for a fixed 6x.
Told you I stunk up the joint later on. 500 yards with the 6mm 90 gr. AccuBond. It was getting later and hotter and going back and forth, oh the excuses. Good with bad .
The AccuBond went through 4 and would have went into 5 and been caught, but as it was where it was stuck between the jugs, it cut the jug on the left and tore the plastic to where it ended up. 5 jugs at 400 is pretty good.
