So it appears this gun is a solid 1.5" shooter (or *cough* im a solid 1.5" shooter with this gun, which is very likely)
Went out monday for a while with a couple of boxes of hornady black, my buddy, and a pile of other toys. It of course rained and neither of us was smert enough to bring a pop up tent.
So to say conditions were not conducive to accurate shooting would be an understatement.
I also managed to get a short session in on the way home with some 28 and 28.5gr charges of 8208 behind 123SSTs, and again Im 90% sure this guns a better shooter than it seems. The thing dosent kick, but its light and slim and i havent figured out how to hold it yet. Best ive come up with is dont touch it and get my self as square as possible to shoulder catch the recoiling gun. Thats hard from the back of a truck, or off the ground....
anyway pictures!
sorry kinda sucky, and top one is 90* counterclockwise, bottom upside down....ill fix them eventually
3 "holes" are 5 shots from my 6.5CM, 10 holes are two full mags. First one was shot about 20mins before the second, im NOT positive i didnt move my sights as the Black ammo didnt hit the same spot as the 8208 loads, but lets just assume i didnt.
The smaller group was 5 shots of 28.5gr 8208, the other was a 4 shot group of 28 # 5 was a dud, not positive why im GUESSING poorly seated primer. which throws the whole shebang out the window imo. I went ahead and loaded another round and fired it into the group but i had to get up to load the mag
Also those groups were shot on the right side of the target, both groups on the left looked like shotgun spatter, which leads me to believe Im not doing a good job except when i set up specifically on one target.
as a note, loading the mag on this thing SUCKS. The rounds sharp shoulder is right where you need to push the next cartridge against.
my pictures are all mixed up now lol....anyway ill sort and fix...actually maybe ill just take new ones.
