My wife's first day

[laowho]

Here are the much anticipated (by me) results of Kate's first try with the 45-70. She's never fired a rifle before, except recently w/ the 30-30 (2 times).

First target (with a fouling/sighting shot in white by me) was @ 100 yds w/ 8" black with 385 gr Ly 124 over 63 gr OE 1.5. Her first 2 shots are left and touching.

Second target is 200 yds w/ 13" black usin Ly 132 @ 520 gr over 68 gr OE 1.5 and with a sight adjustment early in. But the best part was when, after both of the last 2 shots, she grimaced. I asked, "What's wrong?" and she said she didn't like it. I said, "Like what?" She said she thought the shot was down and left. And that's exactly where they were.

And this is why we're adding the 90 to our little stable.
