Vince I set it a half inch low at 25 yards and that puts dead on at 100 yards and two inches low at 150 yards. I try to keep shots under a 100 yards for the same reason that you have stated. I know they changed the powder they were using at first. Don't think the new ones work as good as the first ones did. We don't get much snow here so when we do we go a little crazy. I was trying to keep the water hole running with that fire. It was good for my pup and me as well lol.
Thanks slimjim.
Clint

Sounds good mate...are you using the 17gr or the 20gr loadings?
My shooting mate found that the 17gr loads give him thumbnail size groups from his CZ at 100m, but the 20 grainers blow out to at least double that.
Yours is working real sweet mate...don't change anything.

I like the 17 gr better than the 20 gr. Seems to stop them better.

I wish it was warmer here in Minnesota right now, I got something special for them coyotes. But I just can't make myself sit out in -12 with a 25 to 35 mph wind. -27 tonight but it is supposed to be 12 tomorrow and 18 on Christmas day.
Good shootin on those yotes Clint.

We had some temps down in the teens. Then we had days in the 80's and then rain and then 50 mph + winds all in the same week lol.

I got up this morning hoping the weather had changed, well needless to say I am not hunting this morning. It's still -27, I hope Santa brings me about 50 degrees tonight. I have a spot I want to go do set because I am pretty sure I can get a yote or two.

-27! Will your bullet even stabilize at that density of air? Mine won't stabilize below 10 F.

Sure, my 6.5 Grendel was shooting dime groups the other day at -5. It's just a matter of I can't see myself sitting out there in that cold.
