I went to the shooting range this morning around 11 or so. It was already hot at 97° and with the resevoir backing up to the range the humidity was awful. I had planned on spending an hour or so but only lasted for thirty minutes and shot eight rounds. I took my Savage 110 Predator
https://www.savagearms.com/content?p=fi ... ry&s=57000 in 6.5 Creedmoor. I was surpirsed that my first five shots were high and a bit left. The last time I shot it at 200 yards I had it spot on. I guess I just flinched differently today. My last three shots were dead on after adjusting the Crimson Trace Hardline scope

I stopped by Whataburger on the way home and got lunch for everyone. The wife wanted to try the new Southern double bacon cheeseburger. The burger alone was $9.19. I only paid $9.59 for my jalepeno and cheese burger meal (drink and onion rings). All was good though.
Here's the target:

Very nice shooting at 200 yards. I'd be happy with those groups at 50...
That savage was one of the guns I looked at when I was looking for a bolt gun for the farm. I went with the Ruger American Ranch because I would use the AR mags in it and I had a couple on hand. I went with the 556 caliber because I could then shoot 556 or 223 in it. Glad to know that the Savage is a shooter.

Nice shooting Jake.
What grain bullet you using?
I have an Axis in 6.5, and it shoots the 129gr sst and the 143gr ELD-x quite well.
