Default RE: Chasing Zero

i often help folks at the range. You cansometimes tell by the guys demeanor whether he is receptive to an offer of help or not: Most guys will accept help when offered; there are exceptions; offered to help two Army guys sight in their 12 gauge rifled barrel shotgun on the Ft. Sill range.Advised themnot to shoot rifled slugs in that barrel. They declined my advice and i watched them fire about 60 rounds of rifled slugs through the bore of that gun. Accuracy got worse and worse as the barrel leaded up.

Many years ago i helped an old man sight in his borrowed .30-06: He was an executive at Halliburton and wasretired military. He had drawn a bull elk permit at the Wildlife Refuge. We got his gun dialed in nicely and he called to thank me after he killed his 7x7 elk. Makes one feel good.
