Yesterday was a good day at the range for me in more ways than one. I finally got to take my 12yr old daughter to the range to get her some trigger time with her 7mm-08 Handi and its new barrel. It was warm with wind gusting about 20mph so I didn't bother with the chrono.

41.5gr Varget. I printed the two at 3:00, then adjusted the windage 3" the wrong way & printed the 3rd further right. After fixing that I had my daughter shoot one round. She pushed it left to 9:00. I raised elevation 3" and printed two at 12:00. All the rest of our shooting was at this scope setting.

The center holes are loads of H-380 & H-4895. The upper right is one from my Model 7, 7mm-08 & the lower left is a Hodgdon Youth load of H-4895. I had to hold high of the paper to get it onto the paper.

When I put up this target she really started having fun! All we had left for ammo was some of the H-380 & H-4895 loads. She put the first H-380 round just high & left of center, the second one higher & further out, and the third back next to the first hole. The two lower left holes were H-4895 loads. After each shot she raced me for the spotting scope to see where they were going.

At 200yds, I fired two rounds of one load and she fired one of the other. I don't know whose holes are whose.
She is right handed & left eye dominamt & shoots left handed. I suspect that's why so many of her shots go left. We did put a Beartooth comb raising kit on the stock to get her eye in line with the scope. She's been shooting on a local SCTP trap team all summer and has gotten both very recoil tolerant and good at getting a consistent cheek weld.
All in all we had a good day at the range & she got to blow off a bunch of .22s with her MKII while we let barrels cool. I will be loading up a bunch more of the Varget loads this week. We're shooting a precison rifle match this weekend.
