Fun on my own range

[ENCORE50A]

Finally a great day to send a few. I put anything and everything off, because the next few days are going to be nothing but rain so, I took advantage of the sun and warmth.

Awhile back I shot some bullets Dennis had sent, including that .453". The lead tips wanted to shoot a vertical string with 84grs weight of BH, so this morning I loaded a few tubes with 75grs W and a few with 86grs W, just to see what would happen to that vertical string.

Vertical string target shot 2-22-2020...…….. charge was 84grs weight of BH209 :




Todays shooting weather:





All shooting today was bipod and rear bag.



Shot this target today with 75grs weight of BH209:




I then changed up to the 86gr weight BH209 charge. This'll work

Man that is crazy... 2gr! Nice work!

 

[Jackalope]

WOW! Nice shooting!

 

[ENCORE50A]

I came directly in the house and messaged those photos to Dennis. At least from my rifle, that 2grs made an astonishing difference from the original target shot in Feb., where the bullets wanted to string.

Thanks guys.
It was a good day for the old man on the trigger.
Speaking of triggers..... BOY do I like that TT Diamond. Luke was right, I'm not disappointed
This rifle Jeff built me is remarkably accurate. I couldn't be happier and so thankful.
Once you find the correct charge, those Fury bullets are very accurate. They will be my "go to" bullet when shooting BH209.

It's a good barrel,, shooting one hole consistently is a lot about harmonics it definitely like that 300 grain soft-tip and 86 grains of blackhorn

I do have a LimbSaver X-ring barrel dampener I've yet to install, but until I can start shooting long range there's no need to even mess with it. We've had a really mild winter this year, the most mild since we retired and if I were to guess, the range road to the 600yd range should be good to go. However, with the lock down, the range is closed until restrictions are lifted.
