Well I couldn't let that target stand. I took a day off of work and went shooting again today. Much better results.
Targets to post later tonight.

OK then... As I said I took the day off. Beautiful day for it too. I popped out to the range and had the place all to myself. Wonderful! There's a lot to be said for being able to walk out and change targets just as often as you like. I took the Kimber Stainless Target II .45 ACP again. Boolit was the Lee 452-228-1R cast of quenched range scrap and Rooster Jacket lubed. This time the charges were 3.5 and 3.2 grains of Clays. I shot 4 targets of each load for score. Wonder of wonders, every one had ten shots on it. Most of them in the black even. Feeling much better about my upcoming steel match.
Here's the best of the bunch, shot with the 3.2 loads. I call it a 94, but I'll mail it in for the official scoring. The RN doesn't punch real nice holes in that notebook paper.
You guys should make the next one either 45 ft or 75 ft. I do not have a range anywhere that you can shoot 50'. Its either 15 yds or 25 yds. So leaves handicaping myself at 75 ft or cheating.
Just shoot 45 feet. Just shoot!

I got a new gun with an aimpoint. Finally got a load for it, can I do it again?
David
Why not? You can have first, second and third place!
Well, it that time.
First off, Thanks all for participation. All 5 of you.
A special thanks to:

Thanks all for shooting. It was an excuse to get out and shoot.

Thanks for holding the match, I needed to get off my butt and shoot. Once I got started again, I couldn't stop.
David
lunicy,
Thanks for doing this. I had fun shooting the targets for a purpose more defined than just making holes!
I'm in for the next one, when you're ready!
...and congratulations to David R and azcoyhunter on your match winning performances !
(Missionary5155 and imashooter2 - we'll do better next time!!!!!!!!!!)
