236y bullseye in heavy wind with .30 Matador

[mtnGhost]

I was DOPEing my scope at 100m, 140m, and 200m for 50gr NSAs yesterday. Wanted to verify at slightly longer range, so I shot off of a tree stump on the hill next to me and pulled this shot off https://vimeo.com/338942799

Really digging the Horus T3 reticle! The wind dot system works very well on average with airguns!

Take Dramamine if you get sea sick, camera wasn't stationary as I setup for the shot!

Impressive!

Thanks! I'm quite impressed with my results with this caliber in the wind. BC isn't as good as I thought they'd be with this ammo, but the DC and weight I guess stands up a lot stronger than the lighter stuff that I have shot.

I could see the wind blowing, serious distance brah! Nice shooting.

Thanks man, one of these days the wind will be calm! I don't mind holding for wind, but it's not so fun when it blows around my gun and table

I do not see crap!! jaja but I take your word! That is a lot of hold, I prefer to use turrets after the mistake I made for holding in a Bench comp few months back, never hold (vertical) again.

Anyway that R5 is good!

Lol yes, a wrist band and Dramamine! Vimeo kind of screwed up the resolution, I can see it clear on my iPhone (I can zoom 4K resolution) so I think they're encoding is messing my videos up. This was the POI..

I was shooting in the low 890s for most of the day with 50gr, before I left I turned up the HST and for some reason the 50's can handle >925fps better in the wind than the 47's! The lighter ammo does well under 900 in the wind. Just waiting for calm weather - there's a 50gr waiting for crow at 250m when that day comes!

The only differences that I can see between the 47 and 50 is this..

The secant radius, meplat, diameter is all the same AFAICT. Just the weight and the backs are different. 

I recovered one of the 47's near my 100m target, expansion looks narly ..
