Haven't shot this gun/ammo (Underwood 210gr XTP) since last Nov so went out this morning to make some holes. Nikon scope mounted. 100 yds, shooting from a Caldwell bag. Weather is perfect - Mid '70's, 50% rh, sunny, no wind.

A couple things going on here.

Either I need to shoot more, and/or I'm getting some significant variation in the ammo muzzle velocity. I'm leaning towards me rather than the ammo, since I've run this ammo over a Chrony, and it's pretty consistent round to round. That vertical spread tells me I'm not controlling my breathing/trigger squeeze as well as I should. I'm out of targets however, so I'll have to remember to pick up another pack of Dirty Bird next time I go into town.

with a string like that, you most certainly have something to work with .... keep on sending them down range and posting the results

We are all guilty of that breathing/trigger stuff Gene. Only 2 people on here I know that don’t seem to have that issue NCG. and some cowboy calls himself Ranchroper.

At $1.28 (as of my most recent purchase) per trigger pull, I can't afford to send too many down range. Also it's very scarce at present, so conservation is a must.

understood on the $$$$$ .... most all of us are facing the same issues

Gene, I have never shot a jacketed ammo in my bbs, but have tried Underwood's 250 cast and they grouped well at 50 yds.

Well if your intended target is tall I think you have a kill there! Looks good to me.
