Here is the the target I shot this afternoon. 50 yards. The shot that is low left is my fault. Got excited when I looked through the spotting scope and saw the 1st 4 shots. oh well.
This is a standard NRA 100 yard smallbore target. the X ring is 1" in diameter. My hold was at 6 O'clock, the rounds are impacting 5" high.
I use the bottle cap as a "universal unit of measure". No imperial or metric crap to worry about.
My load here is very mild but is better than 38-55 ballistics.
293 grain bullet at 1400 fps.
This is just a starting point for this project. The goal is 2000 fps with this bullet and accuracy as good as jacketed bullets.
