What have you been shooting lately? What loads? How are you doing?
---------------------------------------------------------
I'll go first. Yesterday the weather cleared and got to shoot the Lymans GPR. This is the fourth time I've had it out. It was shooting 18 inches low out of the box so I've been filing front sight and everytime I take it out it seems to shoot about 6 inches higher. I was afraid of taking too much off so I went easy. I just about have it now.
I had been playing with different loads, decided to try 100 grs of T7 FFg. I also found some .54 cal wads. Don't remember the brand name but they are those real yellow wads as opposed to the ones that seem to be almost white and are firmer.
I also switched patches to the TC .54 cal pre-lubed ones. They are .015 and I'm using a .530 ball (Speer). I was using the RWS 1075 caps. No problems, instant ignition all day.
I shot 25 rounds at 50 yds didn't have much distance available in this spot, but it is close by.
It almost put them all in the same hole except for a couple flyers. After a while I was putting the lead through the same hole and was too lazy to change the target. Mainly just wanted to put some mileage on the barrel.
Target below. This rifle is coming around. I'm going to file a couple more strokes off the front sight and take her out to 100 yds next time.
