started new thread for my own journey continuing from this one Starter .22 for practical rimfire
I plan to attend the match on April 24 at the Rod and gun club of New Bedford. This will be my first match of this kind. I am well versed in practical pistol shooting and 3 gun shooting.
I already have a rifle that I will use, I will not be purchasing anything new for this match, other than a brick of ammo that I already received from Target Sports. The rifle is a Savage mk ii, and it has a Mueller scope, 4.5-14x. Today I went out to my range. I chronographed my ammo and zeroed the rifle at 25 yards. I also downloaded the Strelok app. (free version). After entering all the data into the app, I tried at 50 yards and then at 100, with what I think is good results. My 5 shot groups at 25 are not one hole, not exactly cloverleaf, but ragged cluster holes. At 50 with dialed 1/2" correction I was on target POA/POI and shooting 1/2" groups but with flyers up to an inch out. At 100 with dialed 8.5" correction I shot two 1" five shot groups that were about 1.5" to the right of POA, then I realized I forgot to dial the adjustable objective on the scope. D'oh, Then that one inch group was well centered. All shooting was from a bench, bipod and rear sand bag, shot somewhat quickly because I don't have patience.

Is 1045 avg fps too close to supersonic to cause problems or nah ?
What is in the Strelok pro version that is not in the free?
