Gentlemen;
I have decided to enter this K31 of mine in the CBA Winter Military Postal.
I used to shoot the postals a lot way back there, then came some extensive committal to the big-bore silhouette shooting as it is done in Montana.
I'll still go to those matches but frankly I need some variety these days and have turned to the shoot-by-mail military rifle game again.
If you fellows have not tried this you might give it some thought. Certainly it is possible to cheat but I scored for the CBA for many years and I don't think I ever saw any of that sort of thing going on.
Also, we all shoot lots of groups, sure, but it takes on a different feel when you shoot for record ~ even with the delayed gratification of a postal match.
The K31 has been returned to "As Issued" configuration for this shooting since that is the criteria for the match. So, no fancy sights and the same old eyes.
At the moment the SAECO 315 is shooting well over 19 grains 4759 but I will be trying the RCBS 30-165-SIL over 28 grains Varget as well as soon as my time off and the weather get together!
Due date for the target's return postmark is 01 April so I should have time to get in some good shooting.
Good evening,
Forrest
