Man, I got this sweet .30 FX Boss last Wednesday and unexpectantly shot my very first ever sub MOA group. I had an old target sitting out there and it already had five holes in it from my .22 Cricket on a windy day. Seems I can only do something like this when I least expect it?
It was calm that Wednesday and I was shooting the Hatsan Vector Pellets at the target to get a feel for my holdover since I had zeroed the gun for 46 yds. Then I switched pellets and slapped five 44.75 grain JSB's in a row touching each other for my very first sub MOA group. It measured just under 3/4". Of course it was a nice calm day with no wind.
So today I get my FX No Limit rings from Ken over at Spaw and zero my scope at 55 yds. It's 99 fricken degrees and my crazy butt is out there scoping my rifle and trying to shoot 100 yd groups.
It was windy as heck, so I shot 9 shot groups at both targets. Seems I can't pull off a sub MOA when I try too? Still gonna blame it on the wind! LOL. On both groups I did mange to get 5 out of the 9 shots under an inch. I was pretty happy with the verticle shot string on the first target. Both groups shot using 14 MOA holdover. I'll get a calm day sooner or later
I swear I don't know how those guys shoot in the wind like they do at RMAC and EBR?
Fuss

Compared to RMAC 2019, EBR 2018 was just a breeze. Look at it this way. If I'd have been out hunting and it started blowing like that, I would have put the gun back in the trunk and gone home...
