I ran North of town today.
I wanted to clean and foul the rifles.
I changed from the 55 gr varmint loads to my 80gr Barnes deer loads in the 6mm
I also have some hornady 95's I got cheep for the brass I wanted to see how they stack up to my deer loads.
The 45/70 was just a "check" for bear.
I have to only use the power I sight in with of my POI will change, dang scope, and the first "COLD" shot is always 5" high so I have to let it get cold between shots. like the first shot kind of thing.
Mostly no wind what there was, was to my right from the north.
45/70 about 4 1/2 high at 100 yards on 6 power
45/70 at 200 yards on 6 power cold barrel
Next
22/250 no change 200 yards 52 gr Berger, after a foul shot.
Then the 6mm with the 80gr Barnes 3800 fps deer loads at 200 yards.
It took about 8 shots to get lined up and on zero.
Good to go for deer now.
The hornady 6mm 95s 2900 fps shot only about an inch lower.
At 300 yards both the 22 and 6 where around 4 1/2" to 5" low, and the 95s where dead the same as the 80's on the 6.
The 45 70 I did not use any hash marks and dropped below the box at 300. so maybe a foot low on the zero cross hair x.
I'll need to use the next hash on the scope for 300 yards.
I was shooting off a bag laying on the ground .
