Ran 245 through the PSA upper. In under an hour. It was windy. 30 mph winds across/down range and drizzling. So, I gave up on targets- they would not stay on the cardboard. Put some cardboard up at 25 yards and plugged away at that. It was more of a bullet/minimum load test anyway. Turned it into a full mag test- found out one mag hated being loaded past 16 rounds at 2.295+ OAL, so it wasn't a total failure. Also placed a cardboard box on the ground at 100 yard and plugged away at it. Okay, it blew off the stand and ended up there. Had an interesting hole in the backside with 130 grain Speer #1458 bullets. All shots fired standing, kneeling or sitting. The benches and tables were soaked, the concrete was dry enough to sit on.
I think it was from a lengthwise shot at an angle- about 2x3" total. This pic was taken after recovering the moving box and tacking it the the 25yard stand. Most of the holes were from 90 grain Speer TNTs.
These were from some 130 grain Speer 1459 bullets. Do like. Referenced on the crease.
This was factory SSA 115 OTM fired at the end of the trip- again, the only reference point was putting the dot on the crease in the cardboard.
Current config- that is a Truglo Triton TG8365B. So far it has held up to 605 shots through this thing. Still haven't picked out a matching stock.
Today's loads:
130 grain Speer 1458 and 1459. 24.2 grains Reloder 10x, Win Large Magnum or CCI 450 primers.
90 grain Speer TNT, 29.5 grain Reloder 10x CCI 450 or Win Large Magnum.
120 grain SST, 26.3 grains H322 Win Large Magnum primer. These flattened the primers. No swipes.
Added: Ace was supposed to bring out his new Rock River to try it out. Guess I'll buy his excuse that it would be hard to sight in with the wind and rain.....
