Stupidly traded this one off many many months ago for a sidelock and missed it a great deal. The other guy and I made a trade deal and I got her back! She will no longer be put down and disrespected LOL.
First day I got her back i went to 50 yards and tuned up the scope and then took it to 100 yards with the 250gr powerbelt aerolites, 100gr blackhorn209 and cci 209 mag primers.

went out late this evening with the Optima and the same powerbelt load. Yesterday I removed the scope cap screws and added a touch of blue loctite just to make sure and so thats the main reason I took her out today to 100 yards.
Top left 3 shots are my first groupers, the next line down you will see single shots in the bulls eye with the 250gr Thors and 100gr BH209. I already know how they group so I just wanted to have some fun and shoot out the bulls eyes. The bulls eyes are 1/2" diameter. Super thin cross hairs in that 10x Konus scope really helps pin point on the shot on tiny targets.
The next upper 3 shots to the middle/right you see as well were the 250gr Powerbelt Aerolites again, That was just under 1" but close enough to just round it off to an even 1 LOL.
