A Plate

[Gibson]

My hand has finally healed enough (a couple of days ago) to get to shooting.

I think I mentioned that my reloads are finally now on tract. I backed off the crimp and no more issues. Yahoo!

So, I taped (athletic tape) up my trigger finger and chalked up my bad paw for a firm grip and commenced.

Round after round. . .

Darkness descended, as I tried to get this particular loading worked out. . .

So, I was trying to get sighted in, but having one problem after another.

The light faded just as I got it dialed in, tentatively.

This load is 465 gr. @ 1626 fps.

BFR 7.5" barrel 500 S&W Mag

50 yards:

(Note round to the left was just prior to the final six. . . this is good for half blind goon like moi)

From me too my friend! :mrgreen: That is great.
I seen his hand on a PM and I will tell you it was bad. I am amazed at Gibson's progress.

That plate's no good, got holes in it.

Good group.
Know what you mean, cut my finger a while back,
couldn't wait for it to hold together enough to go
shootin'.

44man and a.squibload:

Kind words go a ways. Thanks, boys!

Good stuff Sir!

Good Shooting! That's a really decent group for 50 yards.

What did you do to your hand--I want to know, so I can do it to mine so I can shoot like that!
Good Shooting!
