4th of July shooting. Just to sore to do any more shooting today. Shoulder has knotted up badly the past 3 days.

110gr BH209 - 250gr Thor conicals @ 100 yards.

The first 3 shots in a string are with a 3 minute cool down, the next 3 shots lower to the lright were with a 5 minute cool down. I believe this will be my hunting load for this Optima!


My finger blocks an old hole on the target. It rained last night and messed up the target I had set up a few days ago when I was shooting Aerolites/Thors earlier so, Sorry for the messy target.

Also, it STILL amazes me how much 10 grains of powder will change POI! I was aiming at the target below where the bullets impacted!

Recovered Thor from the sand.


Preparing for my new glasses to come in LOL. Shimmed with 4 thin plastic shims.
