This weeks over last weeks...
 
target.
It sure is quiet on here so I thought I would post some useless, yet interesting to me, information about my last 2 range sessions with my Traditions .32 cal. Deerhunter rifle. I placed one target from this week over top of a target from last week, which was the target I shot a 7/16 inch three shot group, and was surprised to see what I saw. And that was the close proximity of the 2 groups on the two targets. Especially since scope adjustments had been made between the shooting of both targets. Again, the target on top is from this week. The one underneath it is the 7/16 inch group target from last week. Take a look at these two 3 shot groups. That is 6 shots total where you see the light shining through both targets.

Another interesting point is that both targets were the 5th target I shot on each of those two days.

interesting that they would be that close... target number and all. So, do you think its a small game rifle yet?

Next week will tell for sure. I will try to put a group dead center of the bulls eye at 50 yards with some scope adjustments and then see what the trajectory is at different ranges.

I just remembered another fact about these two targets. the target in the front was shot with 20 grains fff Goex and the one behind it was shot with 30 grains pyrodex RS.

Given the different powder charges and scope adjustment between targets, it's nothing more than a freak occurance - something like a politician telling the truth.
