1000 yds today

[Don McDowell]

Don, That's not bad at all for a 1st cut at that distance w/ those loads considering the up/down winds, and some changes in wind direction. Were the 3 lower shots made when the wind was at 9 o'clock(?) full value @ 15 mph or thereabouts? Also, it looks like your bullets were hitting the target "point on"? Always a good sign, if that is correct. No flies on the Olde E. powder either, huh?

Yes that group at the bottom was with the full value wind. Had a heck of a time getting the elevation up. Got a group on the ground behind the target when they were just missing the target frame, but there's 4 bullet tracks about 12 inches apart.
The wind would quarter out behind us and then over the top we'ld go
Yes all the strikes on the target were point on, leaving a nice dimple in the steel.
I am starting to like this Eynsford now that I'm finding some accuracy with it. With the 1.5 I do have to wipe 2 damp and 1 dry. The 2f shoots a bit cleaner.
All in all I'm pretty happy with everything we saw today.
