.30 Skout @100Y

- Start date
My scores were low. Ashland OR has crazy winds. Qual 100Y cards were 213 and 224. That was as the highest aggregate qual score. Final was 217-3x.
It sounds like an excuse but the wind never remains the same more than 2 seconds. I had to shift from tripod and rear rest in qual relay 1 to bipod and rear bag for relay 2 and the Final. The tripod/rear ST rest was too slow. By the time you shot a sighter and came up to the target the wind had changed. Reading the wind flags accurately would require a Cray supercomputer.
Finals pellet card 217-3x (1st) .30 cal AEA 45 grain. See the two 7s and the 6? That’s what happens when you’re holding 1.5 MOA left and the wind switches direction as you pull the trigger.
Finals slug card. 232-5x. (4th). .25 Altaros 49.5 grain. Slugs are just sooo much easier. First was 234-5x.

That's great shooting in those conditions Mike. Did I read somewhere that you are using FX liners in your Skouts?

Yes. Only one Skout presently. I am using a .30 FX Superior 1:40 twist pellet liner. Nothing special no cherry picked, bought a single liner from UA and that’s what I got. Cleaned it good then installed. I’ll tell you I shot two EFT rounds and three 100Y cards, and the liner still looks like I just cleaned it.
