The other day shooting my LK-II I had some strange no fires. Today I tried again to see if it would misfire but no such luck .. it behaved perfect. I shot a couple in a bulls eye to check it again then was shooting one gallon paint cans at 84 yards. I set one can upright in the snow then another on its side with the bottom facing me. Holding dead on that little LK-II was putting them 240 grain .430 XTPs in that can like nothing.
Then I broke out a LK-93 since it has the same action, to see if I could makle that one fail. That rifle's shoot card said sighted in for 35 yards. It wears a 1x32mm T.C Hawkens Scope so I set it up as a tree rifle. The card said 90 grains Pyrodex RS and XTP.
So since I had a new box of .430 240 grain XTP on the bench, I got some Pyrodex out and had a go at 35 yards with the 1 power scope.
The strange thing about that group. It started out hitting left. Climbed shot on shot. And then headed back to the bull in that horse shoe pattern. Why, I have no idea. But that would have been a good deer rifle for what I had planned for it.
I taped over the holes from the LK II so it would not confuse me. And I have to admit. That LK 93 shot very good with a one power scope. I was able to finally make the rifle fail on the ignition. If I left a two spent cap build up in the nose, it would strike the current cap but not fire it. So maybe that had something to do with the other rifle. I am not sure. Knock the old caps out of the nose and it fired perfect.
I also tried on the paint can at 84 yards with the 1x32mm scope. Now that was a bit more of a challenge then the other rifle. But if I held dead center it hit every time. A lot better then punching paper.
Weather conditions were.. 21 degrees, windy, snowing, over cast, just a lot of fun...
