Still Smiling

I took advantage of the later daylight yesterday, skipped the after work brew with my buddy, and ran out to the nearest shooting spot. I’m still smiling, I understand why this was such a popular cartridge, so much fun to shoot. I need to put it on a bench with bags before I judge the accuracy, the cast bullets and AA9 were good, the XTPs over Unique were good, and the XTPs over AA9 were decent. The XTPs over 300-MP were good, but too warm, will back that off by at least half a grain. I am going to spend some time trimming brass and doing better case prep. I shot all of the powder coated cast bullets before shooting the jacketed just so I didn’t have to worry about copper fouling. I really think a Skinner sight will help, I just am not used to the Buckhorn style sights.
