I went to my back yard where I have a short range setup for pistols. I set up my 8x10 paper target with a 1 inch red bulls eye. I went back to the 25 yd. line and set up my shooting table with my lead sled.
First shot was 1 1/2 inch high of center of bulls eye. second shot was 1/2 inch to the right of the first shot. Tweaked the scope and fired my third round. It hit 3/4 inch to the right of bulls eye center. Fired the last round and it hit dead center of bulls eye!!
I'm shooting a CVA Stalker .243 cal. Lyman 95 grain cast bullet (p.c.) 13.5 grains of IMR 4198.
So now the journey begins of getting it in the bulls eye at 100 yds. Then I can work on possibly changing powder load to get better groups.
Wish I had a camera.
