I would like to thank OBXPilgrim, and NoZombies for the bator mould and the NEF barrel...I am having a blast. As a token of my appreciation I offer up a target I shot at 100 yards today.

This is not the best it will do, it will get a good 1/4inch tighter with rem 7.5 primers and the older boolits..this target is waterquenched 50/50 boolits that are only 1.5days old. Oddly enough this superlight 223H&R barrel prefers LLA to conventional lube at this speed :???: .... I save my rem 7.5's for the max and I have a ton of WSR primers to burn through so I am using them for this plinker/vermin load. The load is running just about 2100 fps (guesstimate) and has already claimed 3 house sparrows and 2 starlings out of the window of my loading room at 30-70 yards..........poof feathers be a floating.:twisted:


Them are 1in square cardstock gluesticked to a cardstock backer (Jeff223 is responsible for that target system) thank you Jeff...works good.

Dang, that looks great!!

Glad it's working for you. My 22 hornet threw those all over the place - I couldn't get them that tight at 20 yards, but then again the only J-word that shoots good in it is a 40gr.

Good luck with em
