Default murphy stayed a way (some what)

went to the range with my usak, apex, and sks.

all the guns where working great.

usak I shot with 80grs of triple 7 2f. with powerbelt 245 at, 295gr at, 245gr hp, and fpb's at 50 and 100yrds.

apex, 80grs of pyro p, with 275gr hp powerbelts and 233gr plats.

on both guns, at 50yrds. on all loads great.

with at 100yrds, with 245gr at's, first shot was why to the right. adjusted the scope. last 2 where low and right under the bulls.

295gr at, 2 where to the slightly to the right of the bull and uabout inch apart.

295gr hp, inch below the the black on the targets I was using, pretty good group.

apex, at 50yrds 80grs of pyro p, 4 shots 2 about 1/4 of inch apart almost died center. 3rd little to the right of bull. one flyer almost off the page.

233 at plats almost thought I miss completely missed 2 high on just to the left the other to the right 3rd shot to the right of bull at the same hight

at 100yrds
this time 80grs pyro rs, first shot to the right almost off the page. adjest the sight, slightly to the left to the bulls, next in the red. last two same place at the read (murphy come to me then)

fpb, all over the place. 80gr of triple 7 2f.

if I can get the lazyness out, I post some pics later .

It sounds like you have had a good day... always nice when things work out.

I am happy with it. most of my shot are going to be in 75yrds or less. knowing where it hits at 100 is a big help.

I can now start working on my sidelocks and getting my sks ready.

remember not to eat taco bell the night before opening day. [:'(]

pics added, not going to do much on discribing them. just the real notables.

out of the usak.
powerbelt 245gr AT at 50yrds
would say I put 2 in one hole but I would be called a layer so I shot the target 4 times none missed.


same bullet at 100yrds


powerbelt 295 AT at 100yrds
