Work has been nothing but pissing me off lately so I said screw it and took a day off today. The weather was 25 with very little wind. I had to drive through 14 inches of snow in some places while at the range but it was all worth it. After verifying dope on the 200-500 steel range I went to the LR to shoot some paper. I grouped 3 shots right at 2.5 inches at 500 so I went to 1k.

I used a program on my Palm called Balistic to chart my dope. After manipulating the velocity a little so it would match up with my findings at 500 I dialed 28.5 in up on my scope and let em fly. To my surprise they were on paper. After some minor corrections I shot three five shot groups and this was the best. A dollar covers all 5 easily and if I had a caliper with me I'm sure its right around 5.5in. Not too shabby for a newb. Lucky for me there was next to no wind, the only thing I had to contend with was the constant falling snow. Visibility was poor but not impossible.
