Range report... getting better

 

This is the best of a dozen or so groups today.  I have another three or four that are only slightly larger.

What about the rest you ask?  Don't ask. Totally sucky two inch groups.

What's the difference you ask?  Well, that is a good question.

A few groups were straight up victims of flyer-mania.  I'm shooting up some pure crummy progressive handloads I bulked out six or eight years ago, and reaching the bottom of that can.

The rest..... just me sucking.

My groups got fine as soon as I enforced my calm, controlled my breathing, and spent twenty worthy minutes just dry-firing on the target.  You know.... quit dicking around and done did it right.

The rifle shoots.  The addition of a Vltor A5 stock completed the build.  Totally different rifle now. I can set out a bread pan and all the ejected cases will neatly stack themselves in it.

Next up, find the right handload this rifle wants, and trigger time trigger time trigger time.
