Some Hundred Yard Play

[MikePal]

I think it likes the 100gr Goex ...I like that group.

Great exercise HA, it sure shows how much of a difference the small amount of powder added or subtracted can make.

I too find the diamond shape works better for open sights, you can bring up the front sight just into the pocket of the peak. Even a 6" round 'bull' is lost behind my front bead at 100 yds.

Good shooting. Love to see someone out this time of the year !!

Thanks Bo D and MikePal.

Ya I ran out of those big black thingy's. LOL They're small too at 100 but at least they are bigger than the blade and you can get the blade up into it.

Next time out I have a can of American Pioneer 2F and some 3F Goex to try with these bullets. What I like about them is they're 220 gr and very little recoil regardless of the powder charge.

100gr 2F 2 1/4" C-C
105 gr 2F 2 1/2" C-C

85 gr T7 2 9/16" C-C
90 gr T7 1 1/8" C-C

With the amount of wind today I am very happy for the most part. (Edit: Actually I'm really happy I hit paper each and every shot. LOL)

Nice shooting. I still prefer holy black over any substitute.... Especially in my Hawkin....

Yup that is good shooting with open sights and would take any deer at those distances.
