shooting yesterday...

[sealhunter]

So I have been shooting handloads for the past couple of weeks quite abit,..quite often twice a day. I was playing with seating depth, and 48.5 gr RL 19 under a 140 gr TSX with a CCI primer and once fired federal brass...

Yesterday when I rolled in to my shooting area, did I roll up to the 100m line...

yup!

did I move back to the 200m Line?

Yup!

300m??????

yup

400m????

yup!

500m

Nope...

Today I was shooting at 100 and was right under an inch

At 200 I was just over 2 inches...

at 300 I was at 4 inches

With one bullet left i went back to 400m and hit the 8x8 target just tad lower than centre.

I am really getting more and more comfortable with this rifle each time out...

While shooting at 200 m an animal stepped out at about 230 m...
It was a nice shot,..DRT...

I'm really enjoying reloading...and am still such a novice...

According to the President of the US of A reloading is unpatriotic. Yup I done heerd him say it. Good luck with that one dude. Gotta wonder how much of the population he managed to piss off with that one comment. Oopsie!
I am on a slippery slope too. Been loading for a few years and have some cast I am planning to load. Downhill all the way man. But you might hear a Yeehaw somewhere along the line too...
By the way, what cal are you loading?

There are laws against shooting critters on registered ranges. Not that I care, but some tree hugger might read this.

Nah not big on eating dogs either but we did try groundhog once. Failure there. Like eating shoe leather and about the same taste. Might eat a cougar. Still an opportunity to have some wabbit is always good.
