Here are the targets:
Texan - 50 yards (can't complain about this! - front sight was adjusted and is now perfect and it shoots to point of aim with rear sight in the second notch):
100 yards: (the font bead coverd the whole target! I think I pulled the first shot over to the left...)
336RC .356 Win: (this is still shooting too high so I've got the next tallest front sight on order - I adjusted the windage and shot another similar group after taking this pictue that was centered) - also, I was having some issues that I'll detail below...
336RC .35 Rem: (Iron sights at 100 yards - and the bead covered the entire target circle... so I'm very pleased)
The Texan and .356 Win both had new front sights on them - the Texan's is perfect and the .356 Win is getting a new taller one (.530" - same as what the Texan needed) and I just took the scope off of the .35 Rem - it was throwing flyers with no apparent cause - now with the irons it isn't... so I'm strongly suspecting the scope is having issues - will send it back to Burris for a check.
The .356 Win Nonneman conversion is shooting very well, but there was an ignition problem - every 4th shot or so would go "click" and then after waiting, I'd take the round out and see a light strike.
It would go on the next hit... but this did nothing to help my shooting and is the primary cause for the 3" groups at 100 yards - I could tell that when 3 in a row ignited properly, the groups (at 50 yards) were very tight. So, when I got home, I took the bolt out and completely disassembled. I polished the firing pin and the channel and while inspecting the very end where the firing pin nose goes through, I found a little burr that came off when I ran a punch through the hole - bingo - that has to be the cause for this. The pin feels much better now - moves in its channel better.I have to admit that I really enjoy messing around with these lever guns.
Can't wait to get them out deer hunting this fall.
