Today, I was ammo testing with my Kimber 82g .22 rf target rifle at my club.
for the first time in over 50 years of shooting, I actually saw the bullets going downrange and hitting the target. Shooting at 100 yds at little steel discs, I could clearly see in the scope, the bullets arc, yaw & hit the steel disc. Perhaps the position of the sun or atmospheric conditions, whatever, but I repeatedly watched the bullets fly.
Standard velocity Eley Match ammo about 1000 fps, Simmons 6 ~ 20 scope @ 20X. Using a steel rest and a rear bag for the first time too. Perhaps the solid rest made it possible?
Gosh, I love the shooting sport.
