Good shooting with a neat rig.

So, you don't clean at all but do you use a blow tube between shots?

The blow tube i use only when there is too much smoke comming out of the chamber.

Is your shooting range enclosed? I see one side is concrete.

Those are consistent loads, is one of your numbers SD and the other extreme spread?

Iess,the range in enclosed,the shooting line is approx. 150 feet wide.
The ES for the first target is 25 and for the second 12.In each 10 shot group i had one shot who was way of the average of the vo.Theses shots were deleted.Actually the sighter shots were recorded too,so,12 shots for each target.
