200 yard practice session with SM340 ammo

[Aquatic_Robotic]

There are so many people here on SH that are so unselfish and offer help any way they can. In the future I hope I can offer up some "good advise & info" to these newer than myself. I am still very much learning BTW.

In a gusty 12-18 mph wind this morning I practiced at 200 off the "Bench", with bipod and no rear rest. I got in some SM340 ammo, thanks to Berga, and my 64 MPR really seemed to like it at 200 YDS.

This target shows how well the ammo performed and how poorly I read the wind. The shot at the 1 o'clock in the 8 was already in the target before I started. I ran short on 200 yard targets, but didn't know it.

239 with 6-x"s

My goal is to get in two more range sessions before June is over and post a score of 240+.

I am looking at 300 yards next, but have no place to shoot that. Anyone here in "East Texas" have a good place to run 300 at??

Again thanks to all those you give advise and info.

I'd say you did one hell of a job there buddy. Something to definitely be proud of to say the very least! reading through all of your threads has made me start to itch to get back out behind my baby and start drilling paper again. It sucks not having time for the things you love to do more than anything... I hope to be back out and competing with you guys again shortly!

But, looking closer at your target I have to congradulate you because there isn't very much verticle at all. I would bet my life that if you can get your wind reading pegged, you could easily clean the 200 yard target. And that's nothing to sneeze at! Again, great job and keep it up! It would appear that the long distance shooters here may have another competetor to fear

Thanks

I hope you can get back into it ASAP. This. 22 lr long range shooting has got me fired up about shooting again. Looking forward to seeing you posts some scores.
