Save on targets.

Lots of good info boys good ideas. I save these bristol board targets i use for working up loads sometimes increasing .5 gr at a time and keep them until they are no longer relevant. When I go to the trouble of loading rounds with several different charges of powder different seating depths etc maybe different brass or primers. it is nice to have the visual of the grouping and a careful labeling of components that produced the group on that particular target. And besides that I am old and getting lazier by the day. So one target with twenty four bullseyes on it really appeals to me.

I love a target rich environment. For my last ocw load work up I did the same thing except with a big sheet of cardboard left over from my kids birthday present.

I hang heavy plates of all sizes with chain from trees and hit them with every caliber I have, but the .444 shooting some 300gn hard cast loaded warm is the most devastating. Passes right though some of them without breaking a sweat.

Fun stuff.

I had a .45 hawkins replica cap and ball, and it would put a cast bullet through a 1/4" plate just like it was not even there and what a hole after the smoke cleared ya look and say to yourself did I do that.
 
I bought a $4.00 roll of 39 ft "Craft Paper" from Walmart, took a piece of cardboard and cut out the rough specs of an IPSC Classic silhouette. 27 targets per roll for a grand total of $0.15/target!
