Well I learned it is almost useless for me to try and shoot this competition with ammunition my gun is not sighted in for. I've sighted in for Winchester 45 gr. jacketed hollow points, but didn't have enough left to shoot the target. So I loaded up some Sierra 45 gr. Varminter pointed soft points. I took a couple of practice shots at a sight in target to figure a hold (didn't have enough ammo to re-zero and shoot the competition). That whole idea didn't work too well. Not to mention of the 6 bullet types I have shot through my rifle, the 45 grain Varminters were the second least consistent.
Shooting a CZ 550 Varmint Laminated Stock in .22-250 at 100 yards. Front Rest was a plastic MTM front rest, back rest was a bag resting on some particle board and a couple of 2x4s. This was actually the windiest day I have shot in a while. I tried waiting between gusts which were probably 15-20 mph. Score 24-2X
Second uploaded target is from a load workup with Sierra 50 grain BlitzKing polymer pointed boat tails and H380. It isn't benchrest quality, but pretty good for a factory gun and a person with little practice at shooting from a rest.
I'll try to re-zero for this load and try again this week.
