PD's vs. my VSSF II

Just got back from Wyoming and we spent a couple hours popping dogs. They've been shot at before so the only one's that sat for us were from 300-450 yards. Most mine came at 350 yards with a 15 mph crosswind.

Were you using 32 or 40 grainers? So far I've noticed the 40's doing a better job of seperating a p-dog of it's various parts (depending on where hit), while the 32's simply expand big time and leave large openings.

39 grain SBK's. It depended where I hit them to get maximum acrobatics.

Bergcrane2,
Nice shooting, 350yrds with 15 MPH crosswind! Sounds like more than a mouse fart of wind to me
. I was on another site and some clown made a fool comment about the .204 and "the slightest crosswind" I commented that he must have never shot the .204 and shouldn't make stupid comments. Thanks for validating what the .204 is capable of doing

I held about an inch to the side from the top of his head, and most every shot was a hit. Some better than others. I never even really had to walk shots into a hit until I got out to 400 yards. Even then, wind wasn't much of an issue, the bullet drop was.

Bergcrane2: Nice shooting there. Charles Petty should take note......AGAIN.
(In reference to his totally uninformed, stupid comments in a newsstand rag about "a mouse fart would blow a 204 off course when shooting PD's", or something to that effect).

Bergcrane2,
How are you liking your VSSF II? I just recently bought one - going to take it out tomorrow to get it sighted in.

I love it. It took a while to get the barrel broke in though. My groups were huge at first but after 80-100 rounds through it, it settled in nicely. I'm getting low .3" 's consistantly.
