Hello,
On several gun boards it was asked that I keep everyone apprised of accuracy after doing the modifications to the bolt. I’m pleased to report it likes pretty much any ammo now, allowing at least three to touch on a target.
I shot this target with singly loaded Remington Golden Bullet bulk. The two fliers were shot when I felt I botched the let off or follow through, and the ones in the center were ones I knew I had.This was shot at 50 yards, leaning over my truck’s hood. No misfires with the ammo, and it seemed very consistent at 32°F.
Because I’m not overly good at target shooting, I took some “targets of opportunity” in the form of marker flags 50 yards out (my range.) I aimed at the poles holding them in the ground, which were merely wire a bit thinner than coat hangers, and was able to hit with two or three out of five shots on each.
I’m very happy with this performance. I may find a way to take up over travel without drilling – maybe rawhide wrapped around the rear of the trigger guard will work. I’m open to ideas.
