maybe likes firearms a little bit…
Perfect for shooting, in fact!
I took my Savage 12F/TR out today.
I have run out of the 75 grain HPBT and decided to try the slightly slipperier 75 grain Amax, I’ve had them for a while...
I loaded ten up in July, then life happened, and I sometimes lose focus.
To start I just put the new bullets in without changing a thing. (Now time lapse seven months in the closet..)
I took those ten out today in the glorious sun and got to see what would happen.
I only had a small break after my sons birthday party, so no chronograph or pistol breaks.
Not terrible!
I started with a turn to the right of five clicks.
The first shot landed low, with the next five grouping above it. I attribute this to a slight coating of one shot still in the bore after a single patch run through, fairly normal.
The seventh shot flew wild and landed in the bull, out of the group. The eight shot is the second one in the red with the ninth at the top right, and the final tenth going through the middle of the group. Gunk in the bore? An errant shaving of brass? The low shot is something I am used to, always the first one, always low. But to see it “walk” like that was interesting. I have shot a hundred rounds and have the groups be slightly larger at the end, from heat I assume, but they have not been that far away and “came back”.
Of course, it’s only ten! I’m not reading too far into it.
At any rate I’ll take it! It is enough to be impressive at the Shoot this weekend, with shotguns being the showcase. But I have new steel and a long field to use over there..
And with the heavy snow I don’t have to worry about ricochets...
Bullet butts?
Those Amax disintegrate! I am certain the ones I didn’t find did not make it through the ply wood intact, as the snow had a grey hue to it behind the target. I’ve gotten good at finding bullets in the snow and these few fragment are all I could locate. Perhaps the five that went through the hole?
I have a bunch of ammunition to load for the shoot in addition to the ninety I’ll bring for my Savage. I love letting others shoot it. The first one always gets them, with a twelve ounce trigger...
I’m always safe about I though, extra caution and warn them, but most don’t know how strong they are!
Always fun too, because it makes anyone, even me, look like a pro it shoots so well.
Yea, Savage!
Well I better get started on it. I start with the .223 tonig.....
Aww... dang...
Well did you go out today? What did you shoot?
I’ll have to read it tomorrow morning, I have some furniture to put back...
