riohog 5,708 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 it might be assmall as an inch or so but its the grouping thats inportant good luck youl have toput some into paper targets ! Quote Link to post
donnyc 1,203 Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Yes thats what I thought about an inch high at 100 yards .Will get out this weekend just to check.. Quote Link to post
Guest Mass_G3nocide Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Just out of interest but when you zero a .243 with a certain type of bullet to shoot foxes would it be necessary to re-zero to shoot deer with a different round??? Quote Link to post
riohog 5,708 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 bullets of different weights and makes will zero differantly Quote Link to post
SNAP SHOT 194 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Any cahnge's in bullet weight, or even velocity will have a different POI [point of impact] So change any brand, type, weight, will require a rezero.. Quote Link to post
coldweld 65 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Some times alarmingly different ! The shape of the round can also change the group. What sort of group were you getting with the 100 grn ? Quote Link to post
Guest remmy Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) you should try 87 g hornady hollow points there the dogs i shoot everything with them. the next pic was shot as it says at 225yds watched by foxshot from here, so you can see how good they shoot. the last pic shows how far the target was away from us, foxshot in action. the 5p coin was to give you some idea of the size of group it was.
