Got a scope, need an idea for dial in.
I put my bore laser in, and the windage is on. How is the dwell on the 300? Will bore sighted elevation get me on paper at a 35 yard range? I only have 5 rounds built to try out 11gr of 4227 with a magnum primer and would like to be on paper with the first round so I can get it set with them.

It will probably be next weekend before I fire my first shot in my 300 whisper but their shouldn't be enough drop at 35 to worry about.
I plan to eyeball bore sight mine for 50 yards and go from there. Where did you get your 4227 load data from? I'm curious about that powder. |

I started at 10gr with CCI 500 primers. It short stroked my AR, so I stepped up to 11gr. It's still short stroking I think because it will feed each round, but will not lock open on the last round. I'm out of small pistol primers so I'm trying magnums. I want to say that Sierra recommends 10-16grs of 4227, so I think I'm still in the safe pressure range. |
I sighted it in at 20ft, then tried it at the range and couldn't find my laser dot. I dropped the crosshairs a full rotation of the knob, probably 40 or so MOA and still couldn't find it. I shot it anyway and it was still 2" high at 35 yards. I can only imagine the work it would take to calculate sight drop on an a2 upper to go from close to intermediate ranges.
Also I was wrong on the SSP section in my sierra manual. I read here I believe that 300/221 loads like a 357 magnum and I started at 10gr with 4227. |
It isn't easy - but the way you did it is the best. A close target and a center hold and then take it back a distance for a group test.
100 yards/meters is my benchmark now for grouping accuracy. |
