The CZickness XLII looking towards the FGE

[gmcttr]

And I'm smiling again thinking about the CM 50yd pistol challenge and going head to head with wingrider. A couple of shots into the shoot off I came to the conclusion he was not going to miss and knew that I would. Game over although I hung on for a few more turns.

Maybe my internet, or I may just not be worthy enough but can’t get the video to play (I could blame it on the rain I suppose).

The link works on a desktop for me, but not on a mobile device. I'll see if I can put it up somewhere else.

I knew that I wasn't going to win any of the challenges, but I also knew they were going to be fun - and they were!

 

[Benp]

See if this one works for you.

Yes sir. I whined a bit to mcapo about the rules or target sizes in the days leading up to it. I was wrong and it was all a lot of fun. Tip of the hat to you mcapo.

Works for me.

It's not the first rodeo for Mcapo. He had it all under control.

Don't worry, he likes the feedback. LOL
I'm hoping at the next event I'll be more of a challenge to you guys. Also, I hope the next event is not the next time that I go shooting! LOL

I know his grandson sure thinks highly of him. He has a good/smart grandson!

Update.
chemo moves out to the 18th. The surgery incision is not 100% healed yet. It has to be or it won’t get there with the Chemo. So I get to chew my nails for. Couple more weeks.

The only thing I won was a sugar buzz and a migraine. Seeing everyone and then CM on the way home made the day worth it.

Rules for SGE:

1) Don't lend your gun to someone that will out-shoot you.

Clearly you didn't get the 30 minute call tonight about how he is playing games on his school laptop during class....

It sure took all the variables out of the game except for one.

That's going to be funny all year.

Let me just apologize in advance for my future behavior in this matter.

It's unlikely that I will ever out-shoot you so I am going to get every mile out of this that I can. Every single mile.

Made my 3rd range trip today, including Friday and FGE on Saturday.
Had the place to myself, no rain except for a brief 5 minute sprinkle and no wind up until it was time to leave. Win/Win/Win.

Ran 150 rounds of Lapua Center-X through the 457. First box was without the tuner and just the factory thread protector installed. Had a 0.174", 0.257" and a 0.316" group at 50 yards with a 10 group average of 0.466" (including the 5 fouling shots at the beginning).

After that I ran 100 rounds with the Harrell Tuner and ran out of ammo. I wanted to run several more groups at 3 of the settings (143, 144, 145) to see if averaging 0.3XX sized groups were a possibility or not. None of the groups with the tuner ran better than the groups without the tuner, but I'm really after consistency more than anything. I don't expect myself or this rifle/ammo combo to produce consistent 0.1 or 0.2 size groups, but I'd be really happy with something around 0.4 or a little less. I'll play more next time and see what she does.


Found a cool way to show the groups better, use backlighting. Reminded me of using a lite brite as a kid for some reason.

 

[MindfulMan]

Backlighting was effective, and clever, T !

How about a photo of your rifle and rest setup?

Good morning all...

As usual, some really nice groups there Carlos...
