1st time with my new toy to 450 yards

[nimrod12]

Well, I finally got to get my toys out and stretch them to 450 yards. I know that's not far for most folks on here, but for me, it was twice as far as I've shot before. anyways, first group with my 300 winny built by smokin99 went to 2" 3 shot....then the last shot, my dad bet me I couldn't shoot a cd, 1 shot. Not a huge task, so I made the adjustments, squeezed, and hit 1/4" off the center. I'm tickled with the gun, and that's factory ammo(hornady superformance)Can't tell how well this thing shoots till I get myself polished up, but seems ok to me!

Re: 1st time with my new toy to 450 yards

seems like a good shooter to me. most rifles will shoot better than their shooters. i know mine does. i can hit a 10-12 inch plate at 600 yards all day but the 5 inch plate is still giving me consistency issues. once i get my load tweaked just right ill be happy when i ding it non stop. I'm also not the best shot in the world so a lot of it comes down to trigger time and consistency.

keep up the shooting. hope you have a happy holidays
