Took the Traditions Evolution out today. Made this little plastic cover last night. It worked great for the first 2 shots, scope was clean as could be but my face on the other hand feels as if tiny needles are sticking into it. The rear flare that's open directed all the blow by into my face.
Shot #3 was again, stiff to load at the muzzle and the clear cover blew off, hit me in the hand, along with a ton of primer blow by. That sucker hurt when it came off :shock:
Recovered it 4 feet to my right,
It did better than i expected it to do with the 247gr Colorado Thor's & 90gr RS. Its windy here with 20-30 mph wind gusts that were going east to west and at other times, south - north. Swirling all kinds. Next time i get more bullets im going to try my 105gr Load and see how that will do. This is a bad group for this rifle but with the wind, i was pretty happy.
First shot it the far left, shot #2 is the middle and shot #3 is the far right. The way it kept walking over after each shots tells me the wind was a big factor today.
