What did you do at the range today?

Just got to ~1,000 rounds on my Sauer 100 6.5 Creedmoor -no cleaning at all. Checked my zero then checked the drop at 460 yards. I was having problems with my elevation corrections before this, looks like it was probably a tolerance stack situation. I basically tightened everything up with my zero, the actual range, the velocity, and a different ballistics program.

On Thursday afternoon, I went back to the range with my T1X and my .223 T3. I warmed up really well with the T1X and started off the .223 practice with real enthusiasm. Unfortunately, 25 rounds in I noticed that I had forgotten to zero out my scope after the last 300-yard session. I was so disgusted with myself that I packed up and went home.
 
Went out to see if I could stretch out a little further at a spot my buddy has a bench with 100-300yd targets. Found a spot to get out to ~600. I guessed at a ~5-10mph wind felt where I was at, from my rear & to the right. Shooting over ~200' deep draw with no veg to gauge in the middle.

Had a first round hit shooting prone on bags at 590 and then the wind turned on a little more. Took me two shots to spot the impact and correct ~0.5mil but I felt pretty good about being able to spot the hit in the scope instead of having to watch the video back like my last range trip.

Similar results at 480 shooting seated with a stump and my backpack. 1 hit in the wind lull. 1 miss when the wind turned back on and then held .2-.3 mil of wind to hit 3 more.

finished off shooting a 10 shot group at 100 just to monitor my zero.
