I finally took my 500 Jeffery out for it's first spin this weekend. Friday we just let a few off, I sighted it in today. No chronograph, that will be next time. 20 rounds from the bench, ouch lol. Actually no headache, maybe a bruise, we'll see tomorrow. Shooting got better as the morning went on, so that's a good sign lol. I'm sighted in dead on at 25 yards and about 2" high at 100 which is what I was aiming for. Beginning to get comfortable with the rifle. Loads are nowhere near full power (535g at ~ 2000 fps).

Here's a photo with my Leupold and rear sights on! My Lee Classic turret, drilled and tapped for the larger dies, which works great and way cheaper than a new press which I didn't have room for. Finally my "Maxi-Pad" for bench shooting. It's a Past shoulder recoil pad velcro'd onto a Limbsaver shoulder recoil pad ... That's my son's 73 Mustang Convertible / 351 Cleveland in the back which we restored together.

Regards all, it was a GOOD day ...
