Range report
Yesterday took out the Mosin with Red Dot and new trigger, but was unable to get on paper at 50 yds, and the range didn't have any closer options, so that project will be shelved until such time as I can start at 15yds and step it on out to longer ranges. No point in banging away aimlessly, so I ran a bit of Match grade Hornady through Rachel along with about 100rds of M2 Greek surplus. Several tight strings with both lots of Garand food. At 100yds with a "Battle" setting, all were in the bottom 1/3 of the black with a 6 o'clock hold. Didn't mind that rainy Monday at all!

Well done!
A day shooting is better than sitting around on the couch 'wanting' to go to the range. |

use new tech
Try using a laser bore sighter to see where it is actually pointing. These save a whole lot of time, aggravation and ammo. |

My close gun club range now requires only 100yd shots which sucks, except during and around turkey season you can shoot shotgun at 25yds to pattern. I got a 17hmr I want to sight in but at a 100yds good luck seeing any holes in the paper.
I usually shoot 3 shots at close range around 25yds with a new scope on a good surface with some bags to hold the gun still so I see where it’s at. Then I dial the scope pretty hard and take another 2 shots to check where it’s at and then move out to 50yds and then 100 yds so I can get it sighted in decent and quick, so I don’t need to shoot more than 20 rounds. Seen jerkoffs shooting 6 boxes of ammo there every year around deer season, holding up the 3 benches walking back and forth. My gun club pretty much sucks now requiring 100yd bench shots, I think it’s an effort to keep semi-auto rapid fire out. |
