Did not think I was going to make it out today and it was a great day... But about 3:00 this afternoon I had some time grabbed the 50 cal Renegade and headed to the farm.
At the ML shoot last Sunday I was having trouble with the 100 yard plus shots - i was a lot lower than I thought I should be. Any way got to the set the target board out at 100 yards, it a 2' square board - plenty big to shoot at. Well I loaded up and promptly shot the 2x4 base off the target - could not believe it... Took a second shot cause I thought the first one was a fluke - it was 2" higher but at least on the board.
By the time I got done - I tweaked the gun and it was shooting very well, raised the sight, moved the powder from 70 to 80 grains T7-2f and changed the patch from a .015 to .018 - lost the wad that i thught I needed and now I am a happy camper.... well at least til I shoot it again.
