Sunday my grandson and I went to the range just to practice and play. I had an XDM.45 4.5" He had a Henry Lever .357, and a scoped .22 bolt action, don't recall the make.
We were shooting at a golf ball, It disappered on the first hit. No idea where it went, a soft-ball, cartridge cases, etc. I had hung a gallon milk jug from a target frame by a string. We hit the milk-jug with ease most of the time,
shooting from a shade with a bench at 37 yards. He was shooting from the bench and I was shooting standing with the XDM. My load was Lyman 200 SWC and 5.9gr. 231.
He said "I''ll show you how to hit the string!" He shot about 5 times with the .357 Henry (Iron sights), no luck, then started shooting with the scoped .22. He shot about 10 times without hitting the string. I stood up and said, "I'll show you how it's done". I shot about four times, then hit the string. I just sat down and didn't say a word.
I'm 80 years old, so I feel like I can brag a little, even if it may have been just luck!
