Went to the range today to avoid the crowds later in the week for sighting in my rifle.
It’s my new .243 WSSM IN 1:12,twist for light bullets. Bullet is a Nosler 55 grain ballistic tip boat tail. Velocity was 4079 fps.
First cold bore shot at 100 yds was an inch high and 1/4” right. Adjusted the scope for height and left the rifle to cool down.
Ballistic tables said the drop at 300 yds was 3.3”, so moved to the 300 yard bay and took another cold bore shot aiming 3” high. Pretty happy with the results. Let it cool down again and matched the first shot, so I’m ready.
