Default Some shooting for you bored fellers

First time out with the rifle since i refinished it. I love this baby! Its been a good 9+ months since i last shot it and about 4 days ago i got a pound of 3f goex as a gift. I had to find a new ramrod in town for it and i got one but it doesnt fit under the barrel. No biggie! Anyways after the rain stopped today, it was a nice cool, muggy day and the smoke hung low in the grass after each shot. Im happy as heck with this ol gal!



This tiny 1" dot is a female dog to see at 57 yards, but its good for training the eye to pick out that special spot.


I plan on doing more shooting with the messed up spru ball and see how they will group when i shoot 3 of the same balls.

Good shooting there Devil. I really think a small target helps tighten groups with iron sights so long as you can see the sucker.

I hate to tell you this, but you're in big big trouble. The USPS says that use of USPS mailing boxes for anything other than official mail is a Federal offense. Run! Run!

How's your lead supply holding out?

lead supply is great actually. I shoot into my sand boxes and get all of it back. Those big 348 and 405gr powerbelts add a lot to the supply after i shoot them.

My Accura will get some play time tomorrow with 777 primers. See how those will do for groups with the 245gr AT.
