It being Father's Day and all, I decided to do some honest "plinking". Can't remember the last time I shot a soda can or a rock for fun, everything has been serious work and I just didn't feel like it today. I've wanted to try some powder-coated Lee 311-100-2R bullets in Jackie's rifle (that she'll get a loooong time from now), so I baked some up and ran QL numbers on Titegroup, coming up with 3.5 grains for 1,000 fps.
Off to the range to check the sights at 50 yards...
Close enough for ventilating soda cans. With the suppressor the striker is all I can hear until the bullet impact. Even hitting the dirt 50 yards distant, the impact is louder than the rifle's report.
I had so much fun that another trip to the gun room was in order to refill and go again.
Big thanks to Jim for the target file and Barn for the long discontinued fabulous original Williams sight for the square-bolt 1899!
