    I will have to try this if I can get to the range before the grandkids see them.

    I like to sight my guns in at the range and then shoot at anything that shows the hit like dirt clods or Rocks.

    Yesterday I sighted the Auto-Berg in with slugs, and after I was satisfied with the POI, I shot at some fairly big rocks that were sitting on the 50 yard line. I hit one three times before it finally broke in half One Ounce Turkish Slugs similar to Brenneke's with 23 gr of Unique. Looked like about 1200 fps? This rock was about 20 lbs and moved back about a foot every time I hit it. I shot at it 5 times and hit it directly 3 times, all offhand with Open Sights.

    Very satisfying and good enough for Pigs!.

    I like to shoot ping pong balls, I hang them on a string in front of my board back stop when I target shoot. I find it fun as well as challenging.

    I have several old oxygen cylinders that I cut different lengths and made gongs out of . I enjoy playing a tune . They all ring with a different sound.
    Keep your powder dry and watch your six !!
