Love Me Some A-Max
Trying again with the Springfield 03 loaded with the prettiest bullets, to hit a 6 x 6" target at 300 yards.
That is really hard to hit, the sight bead is larger than a 24" target at 300 yards. So I really need to guess well for it to hit because the target needs to be exactly in the center of the bead, (where I can't see it.)
Until I tried to hit a small target at distance with the Springfield, I didn't realize how the sights on the Eddystone gave me an advantage. I get to see half the target with the Eddystone's sights. I guess I could adjust the Springfield's sights to get a similar sight picture.
[EDIT] Oh! My camera drained the batteries again. I think it is wet inside from all the snow that fell on it and me yesterday.
Last time it would not stay turned off was when I was running down the wet hill in the rain and slipped. The camera didn't hit the ground but got splashed with muddy water.
Unintentional?
You decide.
Is this post, a counter argument to this post?
18" of Snow
It was so bright I disn't notice my camera was set on "compact," so the video is of very bad quality. You can see how deep the snow is though.
Having a hard time uploading a video...
...and I have 2 to upload.
The first is another shot at the 4 inch square at 400 yards, I missed but it is worth a look.
The second is shooting the Eddystone 1917 at a 6 x 6" target in a snow storm. It is a perfect shot! Absolutely perfect! One of my best shots.
I tried the first one 4 times but it just would not work. I think the snow storm has an effect on the lines or whatever. I then tried the second one and was almost there then my connection gave out all together.
What is cool is, the shots were taken 2 hours apart; right after i shot the first shot it started snowing. There was no snow on the ground in the first one. The second video is filled with snow, 3 inches everywhere and snowing hard enough that you can just see the targets. It is a very cool video!
damn thing stopped again! Frick YouTube I'm going to try Photobucket. I'll update when something takes.
PWNED!
I PWN at 300 yards...
...400, not so much.
Shit Scope Still Useful
I think the scope tube is weak and the cheap scope mount/rings are making it wacky.
I'll have to use this scope as it is until I save-up enough money to get different mounts and rings. Hopefully the problem is these mounts not working properly, (out of round,) and squeezing the scope making it screwy.
I used 10 bullets yesterday to get as close to center at 300 yards as I possibly could, I haven't changed the settings for 7 shots so far and it seems to want to stay where it is at.
Shooting a 4 x 5" steel plate at 300 yards. I shot 4 shots, missed the first then hit the next 3. I just wanted to make a video of the rifle hitting a small target 3 times in a row to display that it isn't the rifles fault.
Bushnell Died Again
Instead of posting about that and getting pissed-off all over again, I'll isplay how a scope is supposed to work.
That was right after the shot.
Yeah, that scope cost 2/3 the price but works perfectly. The Bushnell never actually worked right.
Unintentional But Revealing
I make one of my usual posts, but this time the libs love me... Well the less radical haters anyway.
Sheesh!
I had a long drawn out description of today's sight adjustments but found that video I made was way to big to upload.
I am as close as I need to be to hit the 6 inch target, when the wind is calm I'll try it.
One thing you can bet on, I'll be taking a scoped rifle out tomorrow! Sheesh!
I was getting my zero with the Springfield with a Lyman peep sight. I had messed up my sights with me adjusting it the wrong direction numerous times, I am just getting it back.
The top shot was the previous day.
The bottom right was the first shot the next day.
The middle three, the one on the right is next, then all the way left of that group, then the center one. I actually intended to adjust it the last time there but forgot to adjust the sight. :P
I idiotically hit the bottom left when I adjusted it wrong again. (As a curiosity; notice how that adjustment pulls left? Not that I will ever need to adjust it there, I just thought it odd.)
The one by the square is the last one.
There was a 5-10mph varying wind from 9 o'clock.
Make No Mistake
Their lies and misdirections are purposeful.
Springfield Again
Today I took the Springfield out to 400 and 500 yards. I didn't hit the 8 x 12 inch steel at either distance but would have hit a bad guy... Well, a fat bad guy. :P
I made a video but it is too large to upload so I made a video of the 300 yard shot of the day.
I also made one of those official looking man sized targets, now I can shoot at something impossible to miss and still feel good about myself!
:P
Although, it is an inch too skinny and 4 inches too short. :(
For the win!
Democrats win no matter what!
Your description sounds so confrontational.
Your description sounds so warm and fuzzy...
The bullshitter chimes in. Delusional libs abound! Who could have guessed that he still does not understand English?
Pelosi Party Wagon
Speaker's trips 'are more about partying than anything else'
When Queen Pelosi first requested demanded she have a party wagon, I wrote about waste, fraud and abuse.
At that time I was assured:
"She[Queen Pelosi] even said she would gladly take commercial flights" LOL!
"the rest of us fix twelve years of colossal mistakes" How is that working out for you?
"FOR ECONOMICAL REASONS" ROFLMAO!
"Hastert did the exact same thing." Um, no.
"unless such an aircraft is unavailable" As we see by the report, not so.
It's good to be Queen!
Sure I don't try, why should I?
I am going to somehow get that lib, (or any of the others for that matter,) to think ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) steve_potocin's speech/opinion as anything but nonexistent/irrelevant? That is what the trolls do to the dude every single time! And that idiot's comment was too perfect for me to let that opportunity pass.
Now, just because I decided to point it out does not mean I care to argue it for an eternity. I'll make my point then prod the idiots for a while.
I don't care who you are, if you can't see through that dudes bullshit, you are f**king stupid! And I really don't have time or the inclination to remedy stupid.
Springfield 1903, 300 Yards, 50mph Gusts
I tried to video the shots but the wind was too strong, it blew everything over that wasn't nailed down and I didn't want to damage my camera.
I basically wanted to get on the target with the Lyman peep sights at 300 yards and I did on the second shot.
The first shot I adjusted the sights assuming each click equaled 1/4moa; to my surprise and delight, they are 1/8moa adjustments! Cool!
I really, really love this rifle with these sights!
I notice a big difference in damage to the target between using the Hornady 190gr SPBT and the Hornady 168gr A-Max. At 400 yards the 190s still leave a crater, of course the loads are much different.
Libs just aren't smart.
It's not like we've never seen this argument before.
Amazing!
Truly!
Howa 1500 30-06, 400 Yards, 4 Inch Center 4
Most people hate high winds when shooting but I can't wait! It makes it such a challenge.
Shooting a 8 x 12" target at 400 yards with a Howa 1500 30-06 in 35mph winds.
I don't think I've ever hit a target so slightly... A hit is a hit though. :P
I really wanted to hit that 4 inch center but in those winds at 400 yards, I am just glad to hit the target at all.
Howa 1500, 400 Yards, 4 Inch Center 3
I don't know why I didn't expect to hit it so close to the center, that's what I was going for. Hopefully I'll be able to duplicate that tomorrow.
As a side note; I noticed the bullets I am using, since the tips are lead, they are not all that uniform. Many of them have rather large dents in them. I don't think that is aiding accuracy. I was thinking of taking a piece of sandpaper with me and making them a little more uniform before I fire them.
3 Shots at 300 400 and 600 Yards, Howa 1500 30-06
I splurged today and took a few shots. I took a 600 yarder too; I get closer to the center each time.
But I really need to focus on the 400 yard shot now. If I can get as tight as I am getting the 300 yard shot in 4 more shots keeping it tight for 4 more, I'll be progressing nicely.
I need to find a 500 yard shot. I think that will help me greatly to progress from 400 to 500 instead of jumping to 600. Of course then I'll need to find a 700 yard shot.
One thing I don't like when I take 3 shots or more; my videos are too chopped-up to be as visually pleasing as I would like them to be. Sure I could make 3 videos but that would take me hours to upload.
I am really liking those small targets!
Eddystone 30-06, 4 Inch Target, 300 Yards, Miss
All three targets looked like one thin dancing/disappearing line. Next time I'll try it with that target standing alone or go with a 6 inch wooden target I just made.
Last 3 Inch Center, 300 Yards, Howa 30-06
I hit it pretty well this time. Now to decide what is next, I have 2 cartridges I need to test. I might try them at 300, but I have a 4 inch square painted to try at 400 yards.
3 Inch Center, 300 Yards, Howa 30-06
Tomorrow I will not touch anything and hope I'm not high.
I'm using the Hornady 190gr SPBTs.
Libs and guns don't mix.
Son of a...
I missed by a lot this time. It could be my ammo or I could just be set 3 inches low. By the time I take my next shot I will figure out if I need to adjust or not.
I don't have a micrometer that measures the case neck wall but I'll separate that case from the others to keep my eye on it. This way I'll know if this case causes "fliers."
It also could be the charge, sometimes my scales settings move 1/20 of a grain or so and I might not catch it in time. I don't think that would make a 3 inch difference but if I was a little low, and the odds lent a little lowness, coupled with a light load...
I've adjusted up 1.5 inches... Which is where I had it set 8 shots ago... If it hits at the top of the 3 inch square, I'll know it was my reloading.
LOL!
A Conservative takes a Senate seat in Massachusetts; second sign of the Apocalypse!
And there will be "weeping and gnashing of teeth."..
Dumb asses!
3 Inch Center, 300 Yards, Howa 30-06, Hit
I finally hit a 3 inch square at 300 yards. I thought I would have hit it 4 shots ago. Now to hit it a few times.
I adjusted the scope up a click but left the lateral adjustment alone. I have a 1.5 inch margin of error since I got a 1.5 inch group at 300 yards with this bullet. Maybe it is a .75 inch margin? I'll see what happens tomorrow.
