Shot at 100 yards, if you don't know the scope at the time was a 3.5 power scope. The reticle will move when you make adjustments. It is a bit fun.
Tested out three different loads yesterday, 5 rounds of each using a different recipe. It "liked" this one best.
It has been a while that I shot anything, yesterday was a bit rough and I was more then done after the 15 rounds, but I did have fun. It sure does feel like the wood screws that hold my head on started to wiggle out at the end of the day. My neck was really sore and the base of the skull was like a headache.
Now as usual I don't have any more of the bullet I used in this test. I need to order some more. IIRC it was a 150 grain Sierra, and 3031 powder....40-something grains. It is all on the little paper you can see sticking up in the blue box.
You can see the last 5 basically where they got taped up. Two down low, three was covered by the top tape. This was the best of the day.
Left the ears out for one shot, sucker is a bit loud, even if you are half deaf.
It made me remember why this is fun.
I just had to bang the steel plates after I took the target down. The plates hang next to the paper, and the splatter will just tear the hell out of the paper/cardboard.
I really don't understand why it is fun to bang steel, see it swing, try to hit it again while it is moving, it just is.
I really like living in the country and having the ability to walk....really ride my mower pulling a garden wagon full of gun crap.....down to this spot and shoot.
