Took Autumn, my laminated TC Hawken, with her original barrel for her first time out at 100 yards. She's bone stock, including the open sights.
The load was my go to. A 45 cal 250 grain Hornady XTP ( needs a 1-49 twist) in a Harvester Crush Rib, over 70 grains of 3f Swiss. I had 2 called flyers. First was from the fella next to me banging away with an AR. The second was when I caught an empty off the side of my head...
The remaining 8 went into 2 3/16ths!
Fired as 3 round groups.
First, 3 x 3/4" 2 into 1/4"
Second, 3 x 1 3/8" 2 into 1"
Last one, 3 x 2 3/16" 2 into 13/16"
Her first group at 100 was under an inch! Now one day does not a trend make, but DANG! An open sighted sidelock?
What IS this world coming to?
