Target Results

Post by WALKERS210 »

Finally got a chance to take the Mosin out back and give it a small work out. Started off with my Henry 22, then the AK just trying to get up the nerve to shoot what I thought was going to be a kicker. Surprise is not the word, smooth solid push and with ear muffs I didn't even hear the shot. Target shows my first shot and you could tell I did the flinch, after the first shot it was great.

Good shooting, that first shot would still have had the Nazi wearing his insides on the outside :vcool: :vcool: :vcool:

Thanks for the flowers and all, I have one tree in the back I really don't like and between myself, my son and grandson we are doing all we can to kill that thing. Right now it must have around 40-50 pounds of lead thru the base. Range was around 45-50 yds, would have went for longer range but daughter-in-law's cats were out in force and didn't want to hit one by accident. I did have to make a small adjustment so I could see the sights way out there on the end of barrel. Used correction fluid to whiten up the sight, I have done this on several since my eyes don't see like they did 40 yrs ago. Don't have a large cache of 7.62x54R now but I do intend to find a place to get bulk ammo but at same time want ammo that is worth shooting. :D

Years ago after a good friend of mine convinced me to "Reload" my own I had no knowledge that different shells would shoot different in each gun. I have a .380 that I like to carry, when test firing it for the first time I used Cheap ammo, shots were all over the target, loaded up with Critical Defense ammo and started shooting target groups the size of a half dollar. I don't have any desire to start loading my own ammo again but I do like to experiment.

I know what your saying about being a little leary of the first shot. I recently had shoulder surgery and was not sure what it would feel like to have the recoil so I started with some reloads which are light target loads in my 30-30 them moved up to the 7.62x54R an it didn't bother me one bit and it is a hoot to shoot.
