No Kill Mystery .
I don't get it ? . I now have this HalfAssed equipment distrust in the back of my brain when going out again . 1st time this has ever happened .
Was out 3 nights back. setup, did a few barks . had a full size dog stroll in and posed at about 110 yards . It was a 'Gimme Shot'. Put the x-hairs on the front shoulder center and fired .
Shooting .30 cal. 110-Vmax's @ 3150 Vel. . So not holdovers and the Load is a proven tackdriving laser . Fired and No Dead Dog . Seen Dog fast tracking off about 300 yard and stopped and paced a little and left .
I have the rifle scope knobs taped, so no accidental bumped moved . Witness marks for NV mounting position same every time . I am still scratching my head with WTF ?
Went out last night, couple hours after sunset, to double check rifle Scope, Laser and NV's POI .
Peeking behind the rife scopes Obj. with the PVS14 . Fired 1 Round Cold Bore for rifle scope POI @ 100 yrd. was a perfect dead center .
Put on NV in-front of Scope, Laser was good witness to Scopes center Ret X-hair .
Then fired 1 round at @ 100 yrd. target using NV . Was right on target center, 1/2 moa right of perfect POA center . So I still got GTG on NV collimation witness to rifles zero .
The V-max's are not getting pushed to limit for bullets over-spin and popping . Is not a new batch of hand loads, no new powder, and bullets same Lot# I been shooting for longtime . Same old recipe, and rifle I been popping coyotes with for long time.
