Today was an interesting range trip indeed.
Frustrating that many SK/Lapua match ammo just have too thin & too narrow rim dimensions to extract properly!! Winging it here....
Winchester Power Point gave much less extraction issues. I say less, because half the time I still needed to get my fingers in their to pry out the half withdrawn empty with my fingernail. Whatever, the rifle is 103 years old single shot after all.
-200 meters to the target required over 500 yards on the original No I Mk III 303 rear sight ramp to get ball park onto paper (Edit: fresh look at target, site setting 600)
-300 meters to target(!!!) required about 900 yards on the ramp
-a shifting wind made further experiments at 300 meters pretty much impossible for these 54 year old eyes!
Lots of fun, sorry I forgot to upload pics!
PS: Can anyone else with any 22 LE trainer, recommend specific ammunition that extracted/shot okay for you and your iron sights???
