Range Report

Post by Jaybm »

Started all over this morning with Steve Young's safety peep and Marble's fiber optic front sight.
Started with the target frame at ~ 25 yards to see where the rounds may go and was pleasantly
surprised when one was in the 10 ring.
After six rounds in the target I figured it was safe to move to 50 yards. Shooting a volley of three
and adjusted the peep lower I think four times. This was the final result ...

The last six rounds, three in the red and the other three on the left were 158g lazer cast RFN over
4.8g of Tite Group. The others were 125g Rainier Copper Plated RN also with Tite Group.

+guns , by golly I believe I'm finally getting the hang of it !

A lot of credit I believe is in using my ole faithful Tite Group powder and certainly Steve's sight coupled
with that fiber optic front sight. Next week I'll have some loads with Bull's Eye to test my theory.

There were photos in other posts and i just didn't think to add another ...

R0ssi 92, 16 in. barrel, chambered in .38sp /.357mag, counting the original sights I've been through three. Really happy with the safety peep coupled with the fiber optic front. Big advantage for me is having the
peep closer to my eye, the longer sight radius and of course that bright fiber optic. Primary round is .357mag
but I have shot .38sp as well and so far not a hiccup.

The peep was still sitting high in these photos, much lower after adjusting yesterday.

I see a lot of venison back straps in that grouping.
