Have had a Stevens 200 in .223 for a few months that I picked up in a trade and finally had the chance to sight it in a shoot it a bit this weekend. I mounted up an old 3x9 scopechief VI I had sitting around the house in keeping with my goal to have a good inexpensive varmint/ paper punching rifle to shoot. Well I took it to a buddy's farm along with 20 rounds of federal bulk pack fmj ammo. Bore sighted it up and after 3 shots had it printing 2 inches high at 100 yds. Buddy has a 300 yd berm built at the end of his pasture with a couple of steel rams set up so we turned our attention there. I didn't want to shoot his rams with the FMJ ammo so we picked out a white looking flower that was sticking up in front of the berm. Shot about 8 times at a the bloom of Queen Anne's Lace about 3" in diameter. Buddy said he could see the bullets in his spotting scope and said he could see me cutting pieces out of the bloom on every shot but I never did hit the stem and cut the flower head off. It was fun and I am very pleased with our little informal shoot. I figure if I can hit a flower at 300 yds the ground hogs,crows and coyotes better be on the lookout. Now to try and work up some good reloads with sp bullets.
