Well,
I finally got out to the range ever since I banged up my left arm and I took my K22 and Outdoorsman out. The hard part was that I still can't use my left hand so I rigged up a rest for my right arm so that I could bench the gun one handed. I first shot the K22 and it did well with the Remington ammo I had, but I really also wanted to get rid of some 15 plus year old Winchester Wildcat ammo that was all over the place. But it shoots well and did well, I just need to practice some more.
Second up was my Outdoorsman with my handloads of a 170 grain Lyman cast #358429 bullet and 12.5 grains of 2400. Even shooting that one handed wasn't bad with recoil. As you can see from the target, it groups pretty well, and that was after a bout 15 rounds of sighting in. Both targets were at 25 yards.
