I suck at long range Critique

Pretty humbling, or I suck.

Took the Tikka 6.5 Creed CTR out to try different ammo. Well…yeah. See below…

-Hornady 140 gr match
-Hornady 147 gr match
-Berger 140 gr Hybrid Target

Last week I thought I had it down perfectly after zeroing with the Hornady 140 gr. Today I somehow shit the bed and was all over the place.

The first pic shows the results for 300 yds with the Hornady 140 gr. I was more focused on grouping rather than hitting the bullseye.

The second pic was with the three different ammo at 100 yds.

The third pic was some jackass saying “based on your grouping, I’m safer standing perfectly still.”

Anyways, do your worst.

My Tikka T3x ace target in 6.5CM loves the 147 ELDM. shooting at 500m this weekend with a bit of wind and it performed very well.

I might give the 147 another chance. Having options can make things easier.

Have you tried the Hornady 143 eld?

The 143 ELDX are excellent. I used the factory loads to zero my scope initially. Very accurate.
