A cold day at Dead Zero

[MUP]

Finally had a chance to get out to Dead Zero to shoot some. Took the Creedmoor and the WinMag, both had been copper scrubbed well and I was wanting to test some previously proven loads. It's cold out there! The Creedmoor load didn't disappoint, but the WinMag went to crap. Here's some screenshots of 600, 800, and 1000, using 140 gr ELD-Ms over Superformance.

Wind was right to left and I never dialed any windage at any distance.

That is crazy to get that little wind drift at those distances, or did you hold right?

Some very impressive shooting.

Normally I would get some right drift just from bullet spin, so I'm thinking I got about 2 MOA left drift just from the wind. And thanks!

Can I talk you into Berger 215's in that Win Mag yet?

I may try them now buddy! I'm going to have to rework this load anyway now looks like.

Find some available and I'll gladly help you get it setup. Once you do, you wont have to fiddle with the load ever again haha.

The 215 Berger is an amazing choice. I just got in some ADG 300 WSM brass to swap out my horrible lot of Winchester. I also have Berger 208's, as availability of 215's are gone till Berger finishes its military contact.

I've got some Berger 140 VLDs for the Creedmoor that I haven't tried yet too.

 

[TiminTN]

In 6.5 the hybrid 140 is something I'm familiar with and the 144 LRHT

 

[MUP]

I may load some and see how they do then.

If the Russians invade, I'm gonna hide behind you!
Impressive.

It's just luck according to one of the "real" shooters out there. I don't have an app, so therefore I cannot shoot longer ranges.

ETA- And I don't claim to be a real shooter even, I'm just having fun
