Ready For Bambi

The final group shot while sighting in my Garand this morning:

3 rounds, 100yds, 165gr SST over 47.5gr of IMR4064, National Match front sight and rear insert. Measures 0.55". The same load did 0.75" in initial testing, so it looks like this one is a winner. I am going to have to frame this target, since I may never repeat the feat.

I think that I am good to go for deer season next week.

Good group.

Good shooting there. IMR 4064 is always an excellent choice. For deer hunting recommend you raise zero to 2inches above POA @ 100yds. The backbone to belly height of the tgt is 12-14 inches.

Hey Purple,

the POA was the bottom of the black and the group is just under 2" high. I am thinking about one more click of elevation, or a half step using my adjustable aperture to get the zero a bit closer to 200yds, which is my max range with the iron sights. I got a mulie doe with this rifle last year and look forward to more of the same this year.

I've had best accuracy in my Garand with 4064 and 165gr bullets as well.
