About 10 days ago in another Forum far, far away.... I mentioned dragging
my Shiloh/Farmingdale `63 Sharps out for the first time since `88.
Finally... after about that week-10 days going back over old notes and finding
out what worked again (and what very definitely didn't)...
My old stake cutter (also used on pigeons, cups, tiles... Neco wafers, etc., etc.)
Short-Range/50-Yd Buff Slug 1Fg Garmin Chrono'd at 672 ± 10
100-Yd Ringtail (497gr) w/ 64gr 2F at 975-ish

I cheated though...
`had a merit diopter on the right eyeglass lens
(Thank God they're back in business)
footnote: I'm not bothering to nitrate the 20# cotton case as, outside of the N-SSA,
I'm slow-firing and simply blow down the barrel between shots. (Nothing ever comes
out anyway -- and the heavy lube on that trashcan pushes everything forward regardless.)
N-SSA: naked tracing paper.
