Gentlemen
In preparing my 9,3x74R Chapuis double for Africa I mounted a scope with an illuminated reticle for Leopard. [Swarovske 1.5-6x with circle dot reticle]
I shot the rifle at 200 yards, prone off of my backpack. I fired one 286 woodleigh Soft, two 286gr Nosler Partitions and two 285gr .035jkt Hawks from each bbl, letting the rifle cool between each bullet type. I had one target for the right bbl and one target for the left bbl. The right bbl made a 1 3/4"x 2 1/2" group. The left bbl group was 2 1/4"x 3 1/2". The right bbl group was point of aim, the left bbl group was a little lower and to the left. The combined group for all bullets from both bbls was
3 1/2" x 3 1/2". I made no adjustments for the changes in the wind while shooting the different loads, using the same point of aim for all shots. Not many bolt rifles can shoot 3 different bullets into the same group at 200 yards.
As a control I shot my Accuracy International 308 sniper rifle inbetween the 9,3 groups. The AI was shot off the bipod with no rear bag. It shot a 3" x5" group, once again I made no adjustments for the changes in the wind which was gusting up to 20mph-22mph.
I was more than happy with the 200 yard results.
I will be trying the 9,3 at 300 yards next.
