Some target shooting ...
      #228235 - 07/04/13 01:47 PM

Well gentlemen, I am pretty satisfied. I just put 24 rounds through the 600 in 3/4 of an hour. no, not a race but I had limited free time and a long drive each way. Oh and I re-learned to bring a shooting glove for my left hand. Burned my damn finger tips. Again.

39 degrees up there.

145 grains of Accurate 4350 under a 900grain CEB solid. 2,010fps in a previous outing in another 600, didn't clock it this time.

Here's the target down range:



Below is my first target.
The lower shot group was with a 6 o'clock hold and the more centered bunch with an "On" hold using the fine "day" brass bead. Q1 and Q2 were a "throw it to my shoulder and point-shoot a quick R-L from 25 yards as fast as I could. Those labeled "L" and " R" are from sticks at 50 yards.



This next target is again bottom group 6 o'clock hold and higher one with an "on" hold. These were off hand at 50 yards. I know, not too impressive but I was pretty rushed.



A couple of glamor shots as the sun was dipping







Looking forward to working up some good, accurate loads and having the time to practice with them.

Twenty four rounds of .600 would be too much for me to handle at one session.

I like the rifle too.

It's not a problem if you use a heavy rifle ! I put max. 10 to 12 rounds through my 600 because i am very concerned about the temperature of the barrels especially by a old DR . Moreover the problem with the accuracy by hot temperature .

I have much more problems to put 20 to 30 rounds through my 500 Jeffery of 8 Ibs !

The wood in that double is beautiful.

Thanks John!

You can do it - easily. It's 13 pounds but fits me well so felt recoil isn't what you might otherwise expect.

Stay well

That is about what I could shoot with open sights on a .22!! More than enough for what the rifle was originally intended for

Thanks for the pics, always good to see a fine rifle, and being shot

My .577 BPE at the same weight is ok on BP but in nitro..........?
