Foxdropper Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 So with the first beutfiul day ive seen in a long while i was up first thing with all the kit off to some open fields and paper targets ?.... Set all the gear up and with a bit of 'think my eyes are bore lasers' i was roughly boresighted ! What i shock i had after firing my first (clean), second (clean) , third (clean) etc for breaking in i could see is was better than a rough guess haha http://s1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee431/bunnyspotter/?action=view¤t=641A51AE-1A23-4D7B-892D-66C27A29B34E-4749-0000066CF9D5EA5C.jpg Id loaded up some 105 A MAX with a few different powder weights extracted from my book of knowledge ?- going up in .5.... The ammo asside- this rifle has only had 40 rounds through it this morning and already i cant believe the results !!!!! ? Dave (valkyrie) has made a craftsmans jon on it and it has still got my dick twitching ! http://s1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee431/bunnyspotter/?action=view¤t=A4021E29-184A-485A-B811-95786DBCAB55-3883-00000539162E1595.jpg http://s1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee431/bunnyspotter/?action=view¤t=D3E21CCB-E120-409D-8527-9C0016709434-4749-0000066CEB2F7C3F.jpg Before packing up, i was really happy with the ammo experiment at 100... So with the last 5 rounds pushed it straight out to 370 yards on a steel plate- 3 mph wind kept dropping but 4/5 was my fault- not the rifle !!! http://s1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee431/bunnyspotter/?action=view¤t=8C428DB5-7CFD-45A6-8E02-5B3E07CFEE45-4749-0000066D13811AD8.jpg http://s1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee431/bunnyspotter/?action=view¤t=B69FDF26-A2DC-4EFF-8093-E21BEA5CB16E-4749-0000066D23C0343B.jpg All in all a good morning to stroke the new toy and coming away with some ammo tweaking thoughts !
