Some highlights:
1) Noted how much the rifle level can matter. Something I’ll have to keep an eye on overall, for both .22 and centerfire bolt actions.

2) More comfortable with the taller rings and after moving the scope for more natural cheekweld. I’d like to have a bit different butt pad height, but don’t think enough to invest in a different stock/chassis.

3) Winds today were switching both directions and velocity. Didn’t bring my Kestrel, but would’ve been interesting to see the wind velocity range.

Yup..wind was switching this morning.  To shoot groups I had to wait for the wind conditions to sort of match.  Was still able to shoot out to 100 but trying to keep groups under MOA was a challenge.  Struggled with CCI SV but SK rifle match wasn’t too bad.

I got there a little before noon and shot until around 2. I also tried to wait until between the periods when the wind was kicking up for when I was shooting 3 shot groups for the tuner testing. Or at least similar winds for that group. Can’t say how much was the wind and how much was me, but I was happy that the new setup showed a lot of potential.

Once I get the tuner settled for this batch of ammo, I want to try shooting 1 shot drills on smaller targets during and day where winds are like today. Practice reading the winds.

I was there during the same time period shooting my duece dueces. There was some good conditions mixed in with the switching winds you just have to learn what to look for. When your 100y 22lr shooting in the wind becomes good, your long range centerfire shooting will go through the roof IME.

I think you spoke to my good friend about 22lr ammo, testing and expectations.

Wind judgement, calls, etc is certainly not my strong suit.  Where I shoot long(er) ranges, the winds are often "switchy" and usually quite different at shooter and target (and in between) due to terrain.

I've heard many times that shooting 22lr at 100y is similar to shooting 400y with centerfire. Those keyboard snipers that post that likely haven't shot either. The drop may be similar but the wind effect on the POI is nowhere close. Wind affects centerfire much more horizontally whereas 22lr is of course horizonal but also more vertical than centerfire. The direction is determined if you have a right hand twist (most common) or left. At Koko Head shooting on the left, center, right side of the range changes your wind hold simply because of the berms and the lay of the land. It's challenging but a great leaning opportunity. If it was easy, everyone would shoot 200-20Xs

This is always discussed on the "forums". Which is more important wind at shooter, midway, at target? It's all important IMO and I have my theories. The key is you have to shoot in all wind conditions to learn it.

U gotta try Bushido's "hurt your feelings" target at 50yrds.

I've shot other folks' KYL targets.  I haven't shot Bushido's one though, but I'm down.  Bring your RPR 

And Mrs. CMO's KIDD. At the HRA open shoot, she was hitting golf ball at 35yards consistently. not bad for not doing a 50yrd zero yet.

Switched from fruit analogy. . . 

Sounds like you have quite the "golf ball driver" then. . . 

It was actually a golf all.  She also got to shoot some colored water jugs cause 1 guy had a high speed camera he wanted to get some footage of. But she used her AR for this. I was surprised she got 1 shot 1 hit on a small soda bottle with just a RDS.  But then again, she kicked my ass on the VTAC board.

The colored water jugs is always interesting.  Esp if you shoot them with say HP or SP, vice FMJ.  Next time I see you, I can show you some testing we had done in the past with those with 5.56/.223.

So far my Varmit load doing 3400 fps produced the best results. 2 liter soda bottles unopened were very explosive. I might get the footage this weekend. I have my friend's load doing 3500 fps to try next.

Nothing fancy but my smallest swinger is 1/8". Most are zeroed at 50y which makes it a little easier at that distance. Putting it out at random distances makes them hella challenging. Your range finder, wind calls and ballistic app has to be spot on to hit it. Many have tried and failed hence the "Hurt your feelings" nickname. I haven't been shooting precision rimfire much for a few years but recently have been knocking some rust off

3500 fps in .223 Rem?  Gas gun?  That's humming. . . 
Yah it's a little warm...

1/8"?  Dayum.  I think the last time I shot a KYL target, smallest was 1/4".  Maybe slightly larger.  I'm always down to try and "let the target tell me".  But yeah, and non-std distances, one better know alot about their setup.  I'll have to chrono my 22lr ammo.
LMK I'll bring them out. I'm usually in #19 never shoot off a bench.
