Cheers forgot to add that last week in the snow coke cans were hung out on garden frames at 30 40 50 and 60 yards.

Zeroed @ 30 and using the mil dots even in the mild cross wind shots were easy to spot with the puffs of snow indicating the margin by which the missed shots could be corrected. All cans hit repeatedly and with good groups and even the 60 yarder punctured top to bottom through the thickest part of the aluminium can.

Without the snow to show the way in which the shots were flying I doubt such hit rates for me would be repeatedly made, but it did show the accuracy and power levels at extended range and was quite a confidence booster.

But bugger me it was cold loading, fumbling with frozen fingers those tiny .177 pellets!
