762 SDN POI shift

[markm]

This one didn't really fit in any of the other POI shift threads before.. so...

Nothing Earth shattering.. but kind of interesting... Zeroed my SPS with the Brakeout mount for the SDN... then mounted the can. POI is 6/10s of a mil up. No windage adjustment... just elevation. Odd that it's up though.

You getting good accuracy with the SDN-6? I considered the can for use on both my carbines and precision rifle, but ended up going with a Surefire 7.62 Mini.

[markm]

Yeah. Accuracy is maybe even better. Hard to say for sure as .308s can be moody... shooting lights out one day and just MOA another.

But on Sunday it was stacking them a little better than normal.

Just out of interest, were you usng the exact same round throughout? Harmonics are difficult to predict, that aside could the causal factor be physiological based upon shooting grip etc. to compensate for the extra weight of the can?

I only run one load. I did sling a 3 rounds of Mk118 LR just to get the brass... but that stuff shoots same POI as my 175 SMK load.

No physiologicalities.... I go to the Hodnett church of the loaded bi pod and rear bag divinity.

The accuracy was crazy good. One five shot group was 4 shots in one hole, then one user error flyer inside an inch.

Then we throttled 500 yard steel in a rapid fire sequence that were dead center hits.

Maybe it increased the MV a bit so its dropping less?

0.6 mils is huge. I don't think the .308 is capable of picking up that much velocity.

[rjacobs]

Mine is always straight down, never any windage either.

I must have misread that. Yeah that's pretty big distance at range.
