I needed to go out to the rangeland and decided to throw in some long range paraphernalia.
Veteran Short in .22 shooting 13.43 gr JSB at about 815fps for 20fpe at the muzzle and about 6fpe at the target. 20x SWFA.
First off, this isn't any kind of impressive accuracy, just a fun experiment.
In the first pic there's a lone juniper bush out there about where the gun is pointed, target is in front of and a little to the right of that tree. You can see said juniper in the rangefinder pic.
Holding phone to the rangefinder.......kinda works.
The results:
The round circles I was shooting at are just the outline of a tin 500 count of JSBs, so about 3 and 5/8inches across.
Top target has 10 shots, One of the shots is high and off the paper. I was just using holdover for these.
Bottom target has 19 shots. I cranked in all 85 clicks of elevation for this one.
The only shots not on the paper were the first couple to figure out how much wind deflection I was getting. I could see the dust fly to the left and right of the box those first 4 or 5 shots and figured out where to hold based on that.
All shots required between 2 and 3 mils of windage. With 20x scope, that put me holding about 2 feet to the left of the target.
You can see the paper moving and hear the wind a little in this short video.
