Went to the range today, beautiful day for it considering the weather we've had. Hit almost 60 today. I took my relatively new (to me) Mossberg 44US and a good assortment of ammo. The main type of which was Geco 40gr LRN Match, the supposedly "bolt action optimized" rounds. I've been dying to try this stuff. Quite disappointed with it to say the least, especially due to the price tag it came with.
This was the best group of the day with the "match grade" geco.
7 Rounds, 50 yards standing unsupported. Rifle was equipped with the S-130 rear target sight and using the lolly-pop front pin, no sling was used.
you'll note there are only 6 rounds on paper. one was completely off target. the black target below is a mix of the geco and miss. old ammo.
Now at first I chalked this up to either myself, or the MURDEROUS cross wind we had across the range. but after that string, I loaded 5 rounds of 38gr plated HP Winchester bulk pack and shot this:
5 rounds
Followed by this
Full 7 round magazine
And this, two consecutive 5 round strings.
the flyer is with the 2nd string fired on the right.
last one of the day with Winchester.
