Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Gun season starts in less than 2 weeks here. We hit the range one last time to fine tune everything. After shooting my muzzleloader at 50 yards (I use open sights with it), I hit the 100 yard range with my .270. Most shots where we hunt up int the up will no more than 80-100 yards..if that. I had 3 rounds of federal power-shocks left over from last year, I popped those off (I never really liked the way the shot out of my rifle). Then moved on to the Remington core-lokts. I shot 2 four shot groups...all within a 2 inch diameter, around an inch high. This was probably the best shooting I have done in a loooong time. I had already planned on using my muzzleloader when we head up to the U.P. for deer camp, I think my shooting changed my mind today. Would have liked to shoot a little longer but we had to get home. The ones with the X's through them are those federals, and one of them is a shot I took with my muzzleloader. If I take one of these 2 inch black stickers you use to cover your shots (that come with the targets), all of those would be covered:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleA Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Good shooting there Michiganbowhunter! I have been getting some shooting done here myself for a up coming deer hunt I have with Randy on theses forums. I think I narrowed my choice to a 270 WSM. He told me that shots can be as long as 300 yards so I have shot out to that distance with that rifle. Here's a 300 yd target I shot yesterday afternoon.

Rem308 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Good deal, those 2 shots there in the last picture are pretty good. Just being nosey, with the 270 WSM zeroed in at 100 yards, what is the drop at 300? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleA Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 There is actually a 3 shot group on the target. I have to come up 2.25 moa from my 100 yd setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
