35 degrees sunny and no wind just a beautiful day to get out.
My club range is out side of Abbotstown PA so I drive an hour to get there and wasn't expecting to find all the ice and snow on the range. The club didn't even clear the parking lot, They cleared everything but the rifle range lot and shooting area. You could hardly stand up on the ice in the parking lot.
Any way it was still a good day and I got to shoot some 200gr ABs and 225gr SGKs.
I had had the stock off the rifle adjusting the trigger after hunting season and hadn't had a chance to re-zero so first things first was to check the torque on the action screws and they checked out at 55inlbs, next up was a fowling shot to check the zero, top dead center, OK all set to go. First load up was 54.0grs of IMR8208XBR with CCI 200 primer. Where this powder charge came from I don't know. But goodness what a shooter. Wish I had a chrony to verify the velocity.
Wish the rest of the loads were that good.
