Spent all day mounting optics on my 22's.
I’ll get this shot in our 35* temps.
Is there an iron sight division like was chatted about on the first page?
With the scores posted I’m not holding out for a victory with heavy rifle optics. With my 12 twist 223.
I got Jr. to help me with a pic of the rifle I used for the match. This is an 1885 Win in 2R Lovell
BTW I just posted my score

I'm trying to get my rear in gear to shoot the match. That Zipper calls me a name every time I walk through the reloading room! There has been quite a bit going on but I'm working towards it.

Real pretty rifle Bullshop.
Drove 36 miles to the range today to find out it was closed.
Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!

Michael you can tell that Zipper if its too unhappy there and ever runs away from home it will find safe haven here.

You will have to do like I used to do at the log camps. Set up on the beach at low tide. I used to shoot across an inlet but could only walk across at low tide.
LOL - The idjits in this state want to ban toy guns for children until they turn 18. Imagine me taking a gun to the beach.

thanks stub...makes me feel better

Got an "extra" (.)
Wish I had a 22 centerfire . . .

Oh, Thanks. I took it out.
Today was my last chance for romance with the K-Hornet. Looked like the 225415 was starting to get in the zone and even the wind died down to about 5 mph. Fired about 10 shots to condition the bore and check the zero and notice some unusual fliers. I say unusual because I weigh each boolit to .1 gr. and use a 4X magnifyer to inspect the boolts. A closer inspection of the cases revealed what the problem was. They were plumb worn out. Got a couple of decent groups and will send in one target tomorrow but the shots on center were not even close.
Oh well, had alot of fun and frustration. At least I will be entered in the drawing!

I gave up on my 22/250.....Not worth wasting the powder.

The sign of a true cast shooter if I ever saw one ...LOL.
Nice shooting by the above shooters!
Looks like I am not even going to send targets from my attempts with 22-250. I had about the same luck as Bullshop Jr. I was sure You guys would be able to give some data that would help me out, I shall press on. Just not under the guise of postal competion.
I wouldn't even feel right about entering a random drawing with my results. I tried 225438, 225415, 225450, and the Bator. Used 4 different powders. Just not quite there yet. I did have one group under 2 inches, sideways hits and all.
Until next time!

I got my 22/250 down to about a inch on a few targets, but it was not consistent. It was shooting a average of about 4". With jacketed, this rifle will shoot WAY better then that.....
Got out to the range the past weekend but never made it past the 50 yard line. 2" groups there indicated I was not going to have much luck at the 100 yard line.
Maybe I will get it together for the next one.
BS Junior,
That is about where I was at. Some were much larger than 4 inches. I had lots of stability issues. I think I have not yet found the right powder and may have had primer/powder combination issues.
Fun time will continue on my side, so hope to hear more of your adventures with the 22-250 also.
BullShop
I have two other loads that I want to get shot for this Match
I went to the range yesterday evening and the creek was over the bridge, way too cold and deep to wade.
I’ll make it to another local range this afternoon, might have to wade mud to the backboard, but no swimming needed.
God Bless ya'll

please post what you found that didn’t work so good
a failure is only so, if you fail to learn from it
I picked up a 22-250 but have not started a campaign with it…yet
God Bless ya'll

I agree with that and wanted to say the same thing. Even poor results contain good information to learn from. That is enough of a contribution to justify sending in your targets with load info and being entered in the prize drawings.
