It is a heck of a challenge to get it perfect. Ask the mechanic. I still shoot it at times for a refresher to get me shooting in sync. Most try it,
can't do it, and give it up. Just get as close as you can to three rounds in him. Then shoot 50 and 100. I expect you high at 100 as this is a battle field sight in for a battle rifle. Then tweak at the 100 for what you wish for the rifle to do.

You want me to shoot that little target at 50 and 100? :big shock: wouldn't that be a feat of skill?

No! But I have tried it at 50. Can't hardly see it with my eyes. Use what ever target at the longer distances and adjust to the range you wish it to shoot best. Usually just adjust a bit lower is all.

Thanks for posting that 25yd target. I've never seen it before and it should help me improve groups once I get my sight tool also. The following is a 50 shot group of what I've been getting at 100 yards with my Chinese SKS. 155gr Lee Cast Boolit GC'd, 26.5gr IMR4895, reloaded Yugo cases, CCI SR primer totally original with very challenging trigger.

Very nice! Tool will allow you to move the overall group to the left. Good shooting.

It is difficult to master. Don't expect too much at first.

I would think you would suggest not to shoot the phone!
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

ck, it looks like you found a good cast load worth sticking with. How do the cast bullets function with the gas bleed port as far as leading?

Very good! Now, try any regular targets at 50 and then 100 if you wish. Your battle sight is basically correct. NOT for precise target shooting at a certain range.
