Sighting with factory and handloads
So today it has finally stopped blowing like crazy and despite the showers I was able to get out to my sighting in place. A month ago I dropped my rifle and hadn't had chance to get out and check it due to work and it being windy season here.
So even though the forecast was 100% rain today I managed to get out and stay dry.
I tested with some old Norma factory loads that came with the rifle and some 36Gr Sierra 1455 varmint pills as 36Gr seems to perform best at 100 yards.

I then moved the target out to 200 yards and tested again.

Rifle is a Savage 22-250 with gunworks suppressor that I picked up second hand 2 years ago and I was shooting off the bonnet of my ute with bipod and butt into shoulder.
The handloads while performing well at 100 yards are not working at 200 yards. I have no more handloads made up at the moment but will do some before I go back to work on the 10th Jan.
