I Luv my new Garand

Hey, Guys!

Ask Garand to tell you how well his Garand shot when he first got it! :rolleyes:

OK, OK ... I can't resist ... :D

(Twilight Zone theme music begins ...)
Imagine, if you will, an event in a Three Gun Match requiring eight bowling pins to be taken down with rifle fire, shooting prone at 50 or 60 yards ....
Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang PING ...
Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang PING ...
Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang PING ...
And so on, until he was out of ammo!
(Pins still standing ....:mad: )

I was there .... took me seven shots with a .45 Colt Trapper carbine. (Lucky ricochet.) :p :p :p )

(In fairness to Lawrence, he is a darn good shot, but was that baby ever SHOT OUT when he got it!)

Groups are down to 1.5" at 100m. 165 g hornady SP over 43 g WCS735 surplus powder from Higginson.

I'll post the targets once my home internet is back up.

I turned in some pretty nice groups today with my Beretta using 45g's of that stuff, and a mag primer, with 150g Hornady FMJ. I didn't have the chrony with me but showed a good gas seal, and brass flew where it should........:)
 
Thanks Grant, I appreciate that, you really have to stop saying nice things about me, I could have a heart attack. By the way it was 20 bowling pins with 43 rds from the standing position! Or was that another 3 gun match? By the way, I lasered the range today and it was 100 meters, but then what can you expect from a smoothbore 30-06? Since Dlask installed a new barrel I can't complain though.
