Sometimes luckey is as good as well Good! Sighting in the 22/250

Now I'm not complaining and I'm not very surprised but It just
shouldn't be.
I loaded some 22/250 with Varget and a 60 gr Partition for
antelope and wolf. I didn't like the way they worked on "LOPE"
so I'll save them for wolf. Here is the thing. I just switched
to a Varget and a 52 gr Berger bullet load that I'll use for
coyote . I went out and dialed the 52's in a dead zero and a
about an inch at 200 yards off my coyote sticks. I was wandering
how the 60's would print so I would not have to re sight for
them. I shot the same , 200 yards off sticks and still shot a
dead zero and a 1.2" group, SAME as the 52's. I would have to
get off my but and look at the published speed, which I didn't,
but I know there is a good difference. I didn't try them at 100
but would bet the 60's shoot higher then the 52's and the added
weight is making them keep up with the 52's at 200. Maybe they
would be shooting HIGHER then the 52's at 400 yards, don't know.
I hate shooting over 200 by my self it eats up all my limited
time just walking out and looking. ANYWAY I will not hesitate to
feed in a 60 if I get a shot at Mr. wolf around the 200 yard
mark that's for sure :gr:

I will take luck over skill any day!!
I have had a few (very few) rifles that would do that. The
cookie has to crumble just right for it to happen the gun is a
big variable (internal ballistics & harmonics) after that the
speeds, and ballistic coefficient are the next biggest thing
that have to line up. As I said I have had it happen a few times
and all were luck, I have tried to make it happen countless
times without success.
My 280 AI does it with 3 loads at 2 distances:
I have my go to load 168 grain berger vld @ 2900 fps with
retumbo
A load I abandoned 140 accubond @3100 fps with H4831sc both of
those print the same @1000 yards.
The accubond load and a load that I do not remember off of the
top of my head with a 120 v-max print the same @ 100 yards.
It sure is nice when it does happen, but will almost(always)
never happen when I plan for it!!
It is good to see it happen to someone else. Congratulations on
finding the magic gun and 2 loads.
