We knocked off early from work today and I hustled out to the range with the H&R.
Shooter next to me nearly jumped off the bench when I busted the first cap. He thought it was maybe a 243 and did not notice the loaded rounds laying on the table.
Anyhoo.... it took a bit but looks like we be zero'd at 75 yards.
Two hits on the left were final shots before last twik of the Red/Green dot scope I mounted for testing.
No excuse here..... battery went south just as I let go the shot at 9 o'clock. I really do hate battery operated anything.
Gonna put on a conventional scope on it during ammo testing....once I am fixed on a load.... Williams Ghost Ring sight will be mounted for hunting.
FYI.... recoil is less then a 30-06. The jumpy shooter nexted to me got to bust a cap....he agreed...easy on the shoulder.
NOTE: One complaint....not sure if it is due to type powder, H110, or loose chamber, but on the 4th round, I had to pry the case out of the action. Looking into the chamber, it was loaded with carbon and gunk. Shooter next to me had his 50cal BP cleaning kit out... the mop worked great. Cleaned the chamber every 2 rds.
