We had the Alabama Gun Collectors Association spring gun show in Hoover, Alabama and I opened the safe to see if the herd needed thinning. There was my 686 no dash that I hadn't shot in forever and for a moment I thought that maybe I should send it on it's way. Well, I said maybe next time and closed the door.
The show was full of over priced guns and ammo and I went mainly to see some old buddies and tell yarns. This morning, I had 2 rifles that friends wanted me to zero for them and when I was taking them out of the safe, there was the 686 right up front so I carried it with me and a box of 180 gr LBT's loaded with H110 and 2400. Both go around 1225-1250 fps out of that gun. The target is at 30 yds and the old gun never disappoints. I will not disparage it again, it's just too darned accurate.Attachment 325055
I believe the H-110 load will do better than this but the wind was blowing pretty hard this morning.
