I took the Smith Corona 1903a3 sporter to the range last week. First trip after cleaning up the stock and cold bluing the metal. To say I am happy with the results would be an understatment!
I fired some loads with 311041, 170gr flatnose, Unique powder, WLR primer at 100 yards. The 14 grain load did the best. I will see if I can get a picture of the target to load.
I'm going to load up some more of these to confirm the load and hope I get another day like the one I shot this target on, almost no wind.
This gun was a junker that the guy was thinking about just throwing it away.
The scope is an old Weaver 10X with 2 horizonal crosshairs.
Sure like messing with these old guns. They really surprise some of the black gun shooters at the range!
