Default Missed Again :(

I have tried twice at hitting this golf ball at 400 yards, I thought for sure I had it today but the wind blew my whole rifle off course, not just the bullet!

30-06 in 35mph Wind

The last time I tried, (yesterday,) I took a shot at 300 yards then decided to take a shot at the golf ball at 400. I forgot to hold low because my fouled bore makes the bullet go higher. The shot high center of the target is where I hit yesterday.

Oh well, live and learn.

Howa 1500 30-06
Nikko Stirling Diamond Scope
Hornady 190gr SPBT
IMR 4831
CCI 200
Win case

[EDIT] Oh! I like after the shot and the golf ball is bouncing all around. I was wondering what that was at first. :P

That is the problem with internet forum mods, they rarely understand what constitutes legitimate, honest and civil debate. They reward the trolls and annoy the people genuinely trying communicate.

I don't really like this place anyway, have fun with your power trip.
