I wanted to post this because I see people ask about this and then get overwhelmed with a lot of technical information. I know I did when I wanted information on it.
I shoot a post ban Bushmaster with 14.5” barrel and pinned brake on it using 5.56 55 gr white box Winchester and iron sights.
I had always wanted to try 600 but was nervous to say the least.
I shoot at the CMP range with electronic scoring.
The RO ask me if I wanted to try it and ask
Me what grain and ammo I was shooting.
He told me where the hold over should be.
Not sure how many feet it was but it was way over the target but his information was right on.
There targets are 36” square and I can put them all in the black and even few dead center.
Never knew the wind payed that big a part till now. What I’m getting at with all this is don’t be afraid to go the distance. Yea you might can improve your groups with this or that but it’s not needed if you don’t want to. Hope the pic works. This is a group I shot couple days ago. Had it going good till wind took one to the left.
I’m hooked at 600
