Spent a little time at the range today with the Axis .22-250. I have been shooting the 53 grain Vmax in it with pretty good results but I decided to see how it would do with a little heavier bullet. Loaded up some 69 grain Sierra Match kings with 35 & 35.5 grains of Reloader 17 to see what it would do. The 35 grain load printed about an inch at 100 yards and the 35.5 grain load is a nail driver. Range conditions were pretty bad with switchy winds from 10-20 mph blowing from my 5 o'clock to my 11 o'clock with a little mist of rain mixed in. This is a five shot group at 100 yards.
