Default RE: 200 yards with the .45

On the way out to the 4 wheeler i got side tracked by a noise in some brush and ended up putting my small game tag to use Although i must admit i am not to fond of eating rabbit head and front paw. Im not sure where the rest went

Took the rifle back to the house so i could swab and start on a fresh barrel, loaded it and then i noticed the .45 felt wads i had out. Loaded them up in my rifle and speedloaders.
BIG MISTAKE! The shots dropped badly! 2 shots barely skimmed the bottom of a board " measured 4" center center!" The 3ed shot dropped a little lower and hit the cardboard i had set up.
I recovered 2 powerbelts and burned my finger on one due to it being so hot.

Not a bad day but theres room for improvement and i plan on more shooting tomorrow evening.

Now i'll clean the rifle for the 4th time today and hit the sack early. Rifle deff. has 200 yard potential.
