Mirage Effect - 08/09/18 02:49 PM
How much effect can mirage have on someone who has no idea how to deal with and/or adjust for it? I'm talking about me if you didn't get that?
I'm not sure what to make of my results from shooting yesterday. the first is my 100 yard starter target. The second are at 300 yards. So if you count from left to right on the bottom row of the 100yd target, then positions 1, 3 and 4 are the as order seen on the 300yd target ascending in powder charge.
I was just shooting groups and couldn't see results in between.
By the last set at 300yds, a storm was rolling in instantly felt cooler and the had a hard over past to where I didn't see a mirage at all.
Thoughts are welcome, especially on what to do when mirages happen. I do live in Texas after all.
Don't know if it matters but...
Home built 6.5 grendel with a Odin Work 1:8 barrel 18"
123gr eld
28.3 to 28.9 grains of RL-15
CCI small rifle magnum (don't remember the number)
