I have had this gun for awhile and I finally mounted a scope on it and toke it out to the range to try it today. It toke me awhile to get it zeroed at 100 yards but I finally got it. And today's winds was the worst for shooting. I was shooting 1 1/2 inches above the the center of the target. I will say now I am no professional but just a beginner at long range shooting. For a little more info. My gun has a 22in barrel. And I think the federal fusion and Hornady ammunition was all tested with a 24inch barrel.
For ammunition today I was using Federal Fusion 140 gr. Seemed like a good bullet but the BC is only .39 on them. This was the only ammunition available at my store.
I wanted the Hornady 139 gr SST Superformance but I will have to order them. They seemed like the best bullet I can buy off the shelf for my gun.
Then i went and put a target up at 300 yards. I aimed on the center of the target and hit 32 inches below the center of the target.
For 400 yards. I aimed on the center of the target and hit 61 inches below the target.
To me it seems like the bullet is dropping a lot. I mean a little to much. But I need to ask some other people's opinions on this. I really need some answers to see if this all sounds right.
Thank you and have a nice day.
