Informal Cold Bore Challenge

[Nine Banger]

Full disclosure: I shot a different rifle in a different location this morning. Went to work and came home. There's a biblical joke in here somewhere about what constitutes a "day".

I set up on my gong to troubleshoot a new scope. Gave up on that and shot my trainer.

580 yards. Slight cross wind. 77gr IMI 223.

Elevation 4.7 mil
Left .3 mil

Prone. Bino harness as rear rest. Funky body position with the short bed truck.

Think I figured out how to post videos to yt and then to here. Downside is, I evidently forgot how to shoot. Clip above is from Thursday. Dropped the 1st two from kneeling over a tripod at 300 yds. I really suck at this sometimes.

This clip is yesterday. Work took me near the 1k yd range i shoot at sometimes. Had a break in the schedule so i decided to spend a couple of hours shooting at longer distance. Other than this cold bore shot, it was a decent morning. This is my first shot of the morning. 600yds from prone with my 6.5 cm. Actually shot a 3 shot group that was right around a minute immediately after this, but completely whiffed this shot.

Cold bore today was shot with a couple different rifles.

First shot of the day - miss right side didn't call for enough wind.

Ruger m77 .243 95 gr NBT
10" plate @ 574 yards

Second rifle, ruger American .223 73 eldm 10"x4" triangle @ 438 yards - missed on the first shot cause I wasn't paying attention and dialed for a different target. Good wind call, missed low. Made a correction for the right range and hit it on the second shot.

Prone from backpack, ultralight rear bag.
Another day for improvement!
