50-70 Sharps Military Rifle

[Eric Johanen]

Shot the BACO 511-500 FN load again and It's a Keeper! Prints 3 inches high, center at 50 yards and at 100 yards it's 2.5 vertical X 2.0 horizontal. 6 O'clock hold and shots impact in bottom half of the black on a 25 yard timed and rapid fire target. Managed to put two low and left before I noticed my sloppy grip and was dragging wood on the trigger pull! Corrected that in a hurry! With 6 rounds left I tried 200 yards. With the ladder flipped up I shot on the SR target and managed to put them all in the black. First two a bit low and left. Corrected my aim point and placed the next 4 center but a little high in the top of the 10 ring and close nine's. Not to shabby for the first time stretching the yardage! I'll be lowering the bottom U on the ladder and re setting my notch and get a solid 200 yard zero. These were shot with no fouling control! Next time I'll see how many can be shot accurately with no fouling control just for fun. I'll file in the ladder notch using the Accurate Molds 51-465S that I want to use for steel matches. Pretty good day on the range!!
