Yeah, I think I can eliminate those two fliers with some more seating depth tuning by .001" either way.

No telling how good it could have been if you had been shooting at the corner of a Black Square.

Is that one of those "Tempered" wood stock rifles?

No. A "tempered" HS precision synthetic, but the one you're talking about looks phenomenal. I know Bob James. He used to own a stock making co.

I know what you mean about the corner of the square. I use a Mark IV. The center of the crosshair is actually open. You can see exactly where you want the bullet to go; no obscuring the dot with an "intersection". The open area is square. I try to use square dots. That one is about 1/2" square and can be seen when centered at 200.

Now do it with a hunting bullet!!

Indeed. My preferred method. My POI is always bottom right corner. I really like lining up crosshairs to match vertical/horizontal edges.

Now this is a test I would get in line for

Awesome group. Great cartridge.

Did the esteAmed Mr. Woods hand you that line of jive?

The Red Dot " . " on your Target sure looks un-square(aka Round) to my old eyes. But, unlike Mr. Woods Targets, you did hit the Dot.

If you happen to have a half-way decent scope available, with a proper Reticle, I'd hazard a wild guess that you would find it easier and more precise to Align a Vertical and Horizontal Line with a corner - rather than - trying to center a Square within a Square. Doing that causes your eye to constantly shift from side to side and up and down. And if you happen to think about what it is doing the next time you shoot, you will probably get frustrated due to the distraction. By shooting at the Corner, there is much less eye movement, because it focuses on one point.

Great shooting though.

Oh yes, a HUGE pile of BBQ would help get your physical conditioning properly Tuned and Timed!

Hey HC, we probably can't tell the aiming point is square because rc has a Leupold camera. That's why the image is so fuzzy because of the inferior glass quality!

But maybe that squaring up on the target is a good idea! Might help you when it comes to aiming at game



yeah, that's a good idea!

You boys obviously DO NOT realize you need to use that kind of hold for a Right-to-Left very light breeze at 1224.689yds when using a Non-Politically Correct Bullet, with the excellent Hodgdon Powders, in a fine Belted Magnum.
