Well there is a lot that went wrong and a little went right...I still have my health and all my fingers and toes....
Today I shot my chronograph and my laptop bag I was using to hold my ammo ....:mad:
I was being lazy and didn't want to readjust the chrony and tried to shoot through it anway....Apparently I hit it two times before I got it really good...And I didn't shoot it with the barrel I was trying to sight in after I put the scope on last night...
The Laptop bag I was previously using as a wrest to help with elevation was in front of me and when I went to shoot the lower target I clipped part of it. At least no one saw me make that shot
Sigh... Apparently its true anything down range can and will eventually be shot...
Anyway, after I got all the bad out of the way I actually got to do some shooting
(After shooting i found that my scope rings came loose on the 16" and the scope was sliding back until it couldn't go back any further)
All shots taken at 200 yards Prone
Weather 55-68* F.
Wind 15-20MPH shooting strait into the wind and at times slightly quatering.
I prepared 120 rounds
Brass trimmed to 1.512

AA 16" got WSR
Rounds tested were 123 Hornady SST and 123 Nosler Custom Comps

Powder used IMR 8208
