These are typical 'two quick ones' from a cold barrel with my .458 Whitworth since I got it's issues sorted.




This target was shot at 100yd a few days ago while I was making sight adjustments, running 350gr snrn at somewhere around 2550fps
The tape at nine, twelve, and three o'clock were sighting indicators, the front sight post almost completely obscured the black.

Standard targets are a bitch to see consistently for accuracy testing, the black dashes help.

What do you do for target images when shooting for accuracy over express sights?
I've been thinking reversing the black/white so the center is white -- might make it easier to make out the placement of the sight on the target center.

Got any good examples?
I plan to take this load out and regulate the 200 and 300 sight leaves to it once I finish the front sight elevation adjustment and tap the rear sight over a smidge and stake it's position

Good shooting Tinker. Have you tried using a 6:00 hold? I find this gives good contrast.
