Wolf Extra Match was delivered last night and I had the day off today so I figured i'd go out to the range and try my luck. Today was really windy, with speeds ranging from 5-10 mph so the 100 yard targets aren't so pretty. Maybe i'll go to an indoor range tomorrow and try my luck.
Didn't bring home my cold bore target cause it was a sticky, so I used a free app (SubMOA) to get my group.
This was with Wolf Extra Match, I didn't notice any cold bore flier. This was my first group of the day @ 50 yards.
Next up Wolf Extra Match vs. Eley Contact. The Wolf cost me .08 a round while the contact was .04 a round.
Next up was 40 gr CCI minimag and 45gr American Eagle Suppressor. Both are copper plated. The 45 gr AE did so bad I didn't even try shooting more than 1 5 round group with it. Below I shot a 10 round group with Lapua Center X.
This was at 100 yards. Real messy target. The wind wasn't all to blame, I just wasn't shooting all that well today. Shot two 5 round groups at 100 and then 1 ten round group. I did an extra 10 round group of wolf to see if I could tighten up my group at all.
CCI I managed to get only 1 4 group on paper, this round really fell apart at 100 yards + wind. Did not attempt to shoot the AE 45gr at this range.
I have a limited supply of Lapua center x so I shot 1 five round group and 1 ten round group. I have seen this rifle and ammo combo do much better in this rifle. This is definitely shooter error + wind involved.
Over-all it was a lot of fun. While I don't think the Wolf EM is worth double the price of Eley Contact, it was available and I managed to snag 3000 rounds of it. For me it's plenty accurate for practice and will work for competition when I can't get Center-X.
