New C. Sharps 45-70

[Eric Johanen]

    On the range yesterday and have the new front sight installed, (using a MVA Mid-range rear) established a no wind zero and shot up some left over ammo. BACO 535 gr Creedmoor, 75 grains of OE 1.5 Money Bullet 73 grains of OE 1.5 and the Lyman 529 gr RN Gov't. 70 grains of KIK 2 fg. 1'st shot swag on the sight setting awarded the X at 1. Pulled the 2'nd out left and following into the 10 ring. Money Bullet sighter went into the white at 10 and then corrected for the low 10's and nine ring. (pulled one into the black high). 10 rounds with the Lyman bullet shot pretty well. Low 5 ring is the 1'st shot. I thought it would print higher than the Money Bullets and lowered my setting.....wrong it would have been fine with the original setting. I did have a few shots with poor sight alignment but I believe this rifle will shoot just fine. This is the 300 yard reduced for 200. Have to adjust the rear base fit with the rifle as sight is just a bit off and I see a bit of shadow in the bottom of the aperature.
