The target I displayed here was the very first target ever shot(by me) with this rifle. I know I and the rifle can do better. Just wanted a baseline and to see if it work, ha ha….
Now, I have done some more experiments w/ different powder weights including a different powder. In fact using Red Dot I have tighten the groups(almost half the size, honest)even more than my loads using IMR4227. I also use a steady front rest and a nice rear bag. I know this rifle has potential.
Also, what do you think about diopter sights? I have a Hooka and a Busk. Been mulling over the idea of drill and tapping to mount one of them.
Talk to you later, Matt
