Hi
Had our monthly club shoot today. First time I have been in 'yonks'.
Shot the No.4 MkII with my 'fat' Lyman 311466 flat nose conversion over 17gr of H4227/AR2205. Here is the result at 100 metres, 110 yards.
Bright morning and "lights up, sights up" so had to adjust up by 2 clicks to begin with but all in all, not too shabby. The rifle wears a PH5C sight by the way.

History will record, with the greatest astonishment, that those who had the most to lose, did the least to prevent its happening.
The problem with Liberals is not that they're ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.

HOLY CRAP! That's fantastic. Are the other 5 shots still on the way?

Jeff... Right good shooting, I score it a 98... Now about those two 9s! If you were using a post front sight, looks like a mite too much white between the post top and the bullet. Let's work on that...we want a 100 don't we? Perfect is where it is at Laddy Buck!

CHARGAR: Yeap, front post and PH5C rear sight. 98 alright. Best we have done the rifle and me.
Still, looks a bit tame beside the Finn group ah!!!

Jeff... Small groups are nice, but when you are shooting for score, it is putting the bullets where you want them that counts. A tiny group in the 8 ring doesn't mean squat.
Can you get and use an aperture front sight? Centering the bullet inside a ring will help pick up a point or two. Using a post requires a consistant amount of white between the top of the sight and the bull. I strive for the smaller amount of white possible and still have some seperation between the sight and the bull. Unless there is a little white, it is easy string those shots up and down.
Also, if you concentrate hard enough you can also change the course of the bullet in flight a mite to nudge it into the X-Ring. It is all about mind over matter and forcing your will on inanimate objects. I don't know about New Zealand, but we Texans can make it happen. I used to pick up point regular by willing the bullet into the X-ring.
Now that is a fine looking group, and in the 10 ring it looks like to me.
But everyone knows them Finns are just plain unfair competition for the SMLE, even if it does have a nifty sight!
All kidding aside, those are BOTH very nice targets!
Regards,
WE
CHARGAR: Front aperatures don't seem to agree with my eyes. I have posts exclusively on my rifles. Seems to work for me as I rapidly approach 37.
