Coltsmoke,

Yes, 200 yards. Target is the Mr52.
Shooting at the targets in the upper left of the picture.
I had to resize the pics a lot to post to the forum, so the quality is degraded quite a bit.

I know DD is going to blame this on an inept shooter stringing shots vertically, but I'm not gonna buy it.
Started out like it was gonna be a good score and then tanked

4 and 5 did have just a touch more tailwind, but 6 & 7 was back down with a little more wind from the left.
Just not sure why it kept climbing !!

Borchardt 40-82

:) I wonder: What if Semtav would pay more attention to his shooting and less attention to created distractions would the outcome of his trigger time be worthy of comment? Or is that expecting too much. :?

I have a rifle that used to shoot two groups with the same load after a few shots fired when it heated up. It can be fixed not to do that. :D

Found lots and lots of lead on the patches, so I may have to just ignore DD for a bit and pay a little attention to my barrel and loading first.
