My wife told me to shoot guns while she went to pick up supper.
Threaten me with a good time[emoji16] anyway, this was at 40 yards. I think the sun over my shoulder made me pull the iron sighted guns left.
The sub sandwiches were good, too.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200429/a0974d5823d583a022dc27bc65af5130.jpg

Very nice, which guns for the 30-30 and how were they shot? Off hand/rested?

Good going.

Maybe next time you'll figure out how to spend all afternoon out there.:bigsmyl2:

W748 is one of my favorite powders for .35 Rem as well as 30-30.

Good shootin’!

The 30-30 (Mauser 1916 action) has a 6x scope, the Topper 44-40 and the 510 Rem. are iron sighted. That bottom group measures .19"- I was grinning from ear to ear.

The past four years or so, I've been shooting much, much more than any other time of my life and I have come to enjoy shooting just for the sake of shooting more. When range time was limited, it seems I was always testing this or that or trying this or that with some hunting or accuracy goal in mind. Now, I tend to shoot whatever suits me for that day.

Good groups there. Never used 748, I've usually stuck to the IMR extruded powders and I doubt a guy could get much better than 3031, but might have to try it someday.

I doubt a sammich lasts long enough for a selfie round those parts.

Those 22LR REM Golden Bullets always disappoint!

I’ll blame it on the ammo too;-) but it was getting hard to see the green dot, next time I’ll shoot the .22 first. A man’s sandwich is a personal thing although if I’m at a nice restaurant with a beautiful plate of food- I send a pic to my kids to taunt them.
