well, in the rifle section i posted a range report.
so, i figured i post here about it too, but from the handloading view.
i shot 10 rounds of my own today, i put the though of them being my loads in the back of my mind and focused on a good group and scope zero.
i got 2 seperate groups, both about 2 inches at 100 yards. they were hornady jhp 300gr. over 47 grain of H4198, winchester brass and primers.
nothing unusual stood out, they all seemed very uniform in recoil, report and accuracy. and the fired brass all looks the same.
the 10 rounds were the first rounds fired from the barrel, so guess i did ok. it was alot of fun firing my own rounds and i think i got a good start on this handloading stuff, lol.
for the finale, i filled two 2 liter pop bottles with water, and set them out at 100 yards. i hit them both, and they just exploded ! nothing left but a few pieces of plastic.
what fun , woo hoo..
