    OPEN SIGHTS!!!! For NHRifle here! I feel unworthy now using a scope!






    UNOFFICIAL PERFECT SCORE! I still need to look over all targets for "score"

    All targets received should have picture posted. Let me know if you don't see yours. Looks like we have 17 entries this year!

    I still need to judge all targets for score.

    Stay tuned!

    My target looked a lot better to me before I sent it in and it was scored.

    Not to worry! We have a lot of prizes to award! The guys shooting the "small" groups will have a tighter margin for improvement come the next postal shoot

    I'm still very impressed with the targets received this year. Good shooting to all of you!

    Some of those targets, especially NHRifle's, make me want to cower in shame.
    Great shooting, guys.

    Gee, All I see is some great targets posted above. Great shooting guys, I am proud to be part of this small group of shooters, who are shooting hand made jacketed bullets made mostly by beginner amateurs (to swaging). Lots of people talk about shooting tiny groups...and we are doing it and posting about it.

    Quite a bit of good info to be learned from posted results. I saw mention of weight sorting both jackets and cores and the shorter 20" barrels did pretty good for small groups..... could be something there

    I also want to donate a small flat rate box of soft lead, in fish shape ingots.
    Rendered from roof flashing, lead pipe with the joints cut out, and 17 cal air rifle pellets.
    I use it to make lead wire with ALFloyd's die

    I knew my gun was not fully sighted in but seeing it was the last day I figured heck wherever its shooting I'll just shoot for groups, but I myself am very impressed with the targets posted by all of the members here.

    Congrats to NHRifle! Great shooting and with open sights, wow. I would also like to thank all who shared their load information. IF I can ever find some powder again, I will have to experiment with different powders. Thanks also to all who sponsored this shoot and BT for organizing it. Jon B said it best a couple of posts back and I too am proud to be part of the crazy community. It is awesome to see how well these homemade bullets perform. This was a lot of fun and I look forward to the next one.

    Thank you! I felt pretty good about my target, but I am pretty sure a fair amount of luck was involved. #9 looks good to me.

    I should clarify my donation is 2 boxes of bullets that I currently have available at my house. I have quite a few bullets of various calibers.
