good morning all...and happy 4th to you !
started my day by reading the The Declaration of Independence....then went to the range with my 7x57's
Rolling Block, Ruger #1, and 1893 Mauser
shooting 165 gr RN Cast....sized 0.285 and 0.286 with 40 grains of IMR4350
100 yds shooting from kneeling with sticks results not so good (but had fun)
1895 (scoped sight)....all over the place ! got worse as the barrel heated up
Ruger #1(scoped sight)....most consistent but gradually opened up as the barrel heated
Rem RB......(iron sights)...again not consistent and again the point of impact got worse as the barrel heated.
but it was fun burning powder....40 rds worth...just was not a very accurate load
have a great 4th
