Any pattern? Throwing the 4th shot every time? That would be weird but it would at least give you a pattern to chase.Had a good range day with MM despite planning on doing "precision" shooting and leaving my rest and rear bag at home. Luckily I had put a bipod in the range bag and stuffed a shirt into a small bag with an ammo box under it to gain some height for a rear rest. Not near as good as my usual setup but those saved the day.
All groups were high since the scope on my Bergara .308 is zeroed at 200 yards and I was shooting at 100 yards this time. Five shot groups except one 10 shot group.

My usual pattern of nice 4 shot groups with one thrown out prevailed. Yes, these are the cherry picked better groups.
If I had a source I would switch to grenades...I heard close counts with them.
They think he has a bleeding ulcer. Saw a pretty large clot when scoped. Rcving medication for it. Gave him a couple units of blood. Hoping this is his last surprise for a couple of weeks. He needs a break.Anyone heard how CM is doing after going back into ICU?
Not if you consider other range trips as well. For just today, the 1st 2-3 shots were tight and either the 4th or 5th shot would be out. Was the same with 2 different handloads. The 10 round group was Federal Gold 175 gr SMK's and went similarly. Did not seem to matter whether the barrel was cool on the 1st shot or hot. Mostly hot on this warm day.Any pattern?

I'm out of town this weekend, but I'd be glad to come help/haul.I did get a little wood cut today for Mouse and CKW, now I just need to get it split.

Got a few more rounds to cut out of this 3'+ trunk. When I get ready to split I'll call you and TT.
BTW, while Tarzan was doing his usual heroic, legendary shooting ...... I was pounding-out shots like these.. Yeah, pathetic, I know !
But I don't mind telling on myself. And even in totality, that 9-shot (?) group is still probably better than the 3-shot 7"+ one that I shot at the Spring Gala event.
Much more work is needed ! .... but I'm not going away anytime soon !
