Started the shooting at 50 yards. Was using 500 grain govt round nose bullets on top of .030 vegetable wad, 70grains of FFg drop tubed into winchester cases. This is a slightly compressed load. about 1300+ fps. I have got to get to the eye doctor I think because I could not get the sight picture right on the rifle without my reading glasses, and they mess up the target image. I futzed with that for a bit, all 10 shots going in about 3 inches and I attributed that to a really fuzzy target. Moved out to 100 yards and shot 3 more before times before calling it quits. I swabbed before the final group and breathed in the breech after every shot. Here were my last three shots:
I think this one is a keeper. I will have this in Texas and hopefully it will make some meat for me.
