Just got back from holidays and thought I would share some photos and findings .The 286 grain PP's at 2400 fps print 1.5 inches low at 200 yards when sighted 2.5 inches high at 100 yards.The 320 grain PP's @ 2200 fps shoot 4.5 inches lower then the 286's at 100 yards but dead in line which is good. That makes them 2 inches low at 100 and easy to allow for or move the scope up 8 clicks to be bang on at 100. I havent worried about it because in real terms 2 inches on an animal that is 18 inches deep is not worth worrying about at a 100 yards. All the projectiles in the photos have been recovered from pigs & goats in the last week. Penertration & expantion was excellent to say the least. I know some people on this site have had trouble with the 286 grain Woodleigh PP's but I can only call it as I see it & I think they are very very good .I put the photo's of the billy in because I wanted to show the expantion of the 286 grainers at a measured 200 yards & as you can see it is fine.The little boar was unlucky to show up at the wrong time when looking for goats. He was running away from me at 65 yards when I shot him 4 inches above the tail. Penertration was 27 inches & the retained wieght was 270 grains.As 9.3 owners & users already know the 9.3x62 is a lot of gun in a small package . I couldnt be happier with my new hunting mate & cant wait til the next trip !! .Talk soon Neale .The 2 projectiles on there own are 320 grainers & the others are 286 grainers. |
