More results. I worked up to and hit the 1k sighter plate. I was using 4x zoom and BDC hold with no spotter so doing well just to get impacts. I had some other hits earlier on another string as well, but I couldn't confirm them until I painted all suspected hits up and went again for confirmation.
I also had a new lower that fit much tighter which might have helped groups a tad more.
results at 600 and 750 were also pretty great for me! next time, I'm going with paper targets so I can put the 600 and 750yd AR-15 groups on the wall in garage.
BONUS: Got to anneal a bunch of brass on the AMP annealer!Surely that and the new mandrel dies will reduce groups 1/2"...
The 750 yard group started with hits on big sighter plate at the bottom. Moved to the small silouette and had to hold the bottom post over the body of the target. (Effectively using the bottom post and aiming 12" over the head). That dropped 3/4 shots in a nice little group.
I did have a couple misses on this group but DANG!
The main takeaway was more windage is needed for 1k, you CAN shoot 1k with 4x (it's difficult, but doable), Next time I will dial for elevation more as opposed to zooming out and using BDC reticle. I trust the return to zero on the Zoom more than I do on the actual Zero (cheap $150 Nikon Buckmaster hunting scope).
