Went out yesterday for a quick kraft drill. Second time shooting it, first time was with the 223 back in January. This time was with the m77 mkii .243.
Fired a total of 14 rounds. The first two were to try the thlr long range proficiency test and the 12 for the kraft drill. Made the same silly embarrassing mistake on both shots and didn't catch it until after they were wasted.
10" target at 594 yards, started standing with rifle and bag in hand, rifle chambered and on safe, scope caps on and un dialed. 1 minute timer 1 shot. Got into position, got natural point of aim, dialed 5.6 mils called wind at approx 4-6 mph left to right held for .5, missed high and slightly left. Saw the impact perfectly and thought that was weird maybe I hit the top of the target or stand and it deflected up. Reset and did the exact same thing a second time and expected different results(definition of insanity). Then I realized that I should have dialed 3.6 and not 5.6. On the plus side I broke both shots under time, had a good trigger press and spotted the impacts perfectly.
I then shot the remaining 12 shots at 100 yards for a kraft drill. All of the standing through seated were on a rickety bent ladder but it worked lol. All standing shots were on the outside, and got progressively tighter as I got closer to the ground (no surprise there). Total group size was centered over the aiming point so zero stays the same throughout all positions. Total group size was 2.25 inches.
I've heard before on podcast and rokslide that the average is around 3 or 4. Does anyone know if that 3 or 4 is diamond size or group size in inches?
