It's a long drive but I wanted to go to the range in Clayton, Alabama today. The DNR doesn't do much in the way of putting a place to hang your targets except some old fencing that is all shot up and in disrepair.Nothing new about that.
Anyway I found a way to tape my target to the fencing and started shooting my mouse fart loads @100 yards just to see what would happen. I had to aim at the top to hit the middle of the target, and was also hitting way to the right. I have an old 4x tasco scope on the rifle and was shooting my 165 gr. RanchDog cast with the 6.6 gr charge of Bullseye. So I was going to move the sights. The insert on my scope was missing that tells which way to turn the screw to move the sights. I
ended up moving it wrong. I finally had to go to the 25 yard range and start over. It took a while, and I got a lot of fire forming done, but I had to move the reticle about six inches or so to the left @25 yards. When I finally got it right I could put all of my shots in a small cluster. There was someone shooting at the 50 yard range, or I would have moved the target out to there and tweaked some more.
I did shoot about 25 or so 30-06 a.i. loads that I had loaded with the same boolits but was using 47 gr. of Varget. My rifle likes that load with a 180 gr GameKing, not so much with a cast.....
I shot until I got tired and then put my stuff away and made the long drive home. I had a good time, just enjoying being able to get out and shoot. I never unholstered my pistol.....
