Subject: Re: 10-22-19 by GRIS on 2019/10/22 20:32:27 MADE IT OUT TO THE RANGE THIS MORNING WITH MY SWEET LITTLE SAKO .222 MAG. HAD THE PLACE TO MYSELF, IT WAS GREAT. GOT MY SHOOTING DONE BEFORE THE WIND GOT UP. TRIED OUT FOUR DIFFERENT 55 GRAIN BULLET LOADS WITH TWO DIFFERENT POWDERS AND BULLETS. GOT ONE GOOD ONE, ABOUT 1/4 TO 1/2 INCH GROUPS. (AS THIS IS A LIGHT WEIGHT BARREL WITH A FULL LENGTH STOCK, I ONLY DID THREE SHOT GROUPS) 25 GRAINS OF IMR 4895 AND A 55 GRAIN NOSLER FOR A PAPER VELOCITY OF 3216 FPS. NO BARN-BURNER, BUT HIGH VELOCITY IS MEANINGLESS IF THE BULLET WHISTLES PAST THE TARGET MUCH BETTER THAN THE FIASCO WITH THE LOOSE SCOPE MOUNTS--- IT'S NICE WHEN THINGS GO RIGHT. I CELEBRATED WITH A NAPUS ORDINARIUS. I USED TO HATE COLD WEATHER, THEN I GOT OLD AND FAT. IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME MUCH ANYMORE :-) |
