woodchuck at 148 with slug

Thanks guys
the slug is currently traveling at 840. Im still playing with it a little. Silicon lube helps the group a little. Im pretty displeased with the spin drift or spiralling out at extreme range right now, so i may play with speeds a bit to try to stabilize better. Yesterday was a rare calm day on the farm and at 220-250 yards i missed right more than id like. To the tune of 6 moa. Its possible there was a breath of wind pushing it 2 moa, but definitely not the 4.3 additional on top of the 1.7 of spin. Of course to verify ill have to wait for the one day in thirty with no wind lol. I took some footage of it and ill post that later today.

Nice shot mister!!!
Bumping speed up to 880+ will take a lot of the drift and wobble out those slugs.
I'm pushing a 32.8 grain VN at 920 fps with a 40 yard zero and still spot on vertically out past 100 in no to little wind conditions in my power tuned Cricket carbine...
Man I need to get a scope cam !
Awesome footage!!!!

Thanks james!
I would push them harder if i could. They are flying as fast as the crown will throw them!
Will likely look into some lighter slugs soon.
