Just got back from the range. Yep the first shot from my cold dirty barrel went 1/2" low today. The other four shots went into a small cluster. I will just have to learn to deal with it. I will go back this evening and try it again.
Even though the Sierra 60 HP does not have a great BC, it is very accurate & one of my favorite critter bullets. Load it with some H414 & have some fun.I just bought an old 788 rem. in 243. It is in great shape. Has not been shot much.This is going to be my walk around rifle. I have some old boxes of Hornady 70g sp, Hornady 80g sp, that a friend gave me, and just bought some 65g V max. I shoot more crows than anything but take a coyote and ground hoq every chance I get. I look at the drop charts and the 65s shoot flatter but they drift more. Anyone shooting the 65v max ? Also thought about the 75 and 87 v max. I know I will have to shoot them all to find my best load. So many choices and so little time LOL
