500 Yards Wahoo

[Muddy1967]

After hitting the gong at Eagle Park when the forum meet, I am abit hooked on longer range stuff.
Here is my effort for today.
This effort is with 40gr Hornady Z-Max.
I will look at 55gr pills for better stability in the coming months.

They just don't build macdonalds cups like they use to!

Ha ha.

Good work Muddy.

Would I be right in saying this is after the scope swap?

The bunnies are in trouble now

Stepping up to the 55gr should definitely net you some improvement.

Take a bit of the wind drift out of it for you.

Not quite a "Quigley bucket"but 500 yards is 500 yards and good shooting by any standard!

That's bloody good shooting for such a light pill. Congrats

[Muddy1967]

Thanks guys for all the great responses.
Yes Jaso I zeros the new scope out to 200y then I dialled it to 300 and smacked a 3lt milk bottle.
I will be saving all my loose change to upgrade to a 32x or a 40x scope.
I want a smaller point of aim, as they say aim small, miss small.

Told you that 30x on my Tikka 32x scope Anschutz wasn't too much

Good shooting...

Now take the scope off, stand up - (get off the bench) and hit the spot on that huge boulder at the 500m line.....

I can tell you I was pretty friggen happy with myself when I hit the 500m gong freehand at Eagle Park.

Not saying a little luck wasn't involved, but I can still say I hit it
