If the bullets didn't kill him, the noise and muzzle blast would....

If you were aiming for his head you are a little low, but now if you were aiming for his "business"
you are a little high! If the circle was pre-drawn on the paper....... nice shooting>

I was actually taking a six o'clock hold with front sight at the bottom of the target/silouette. The circle was not not there before the shoot. This gun has been shooting about six inches high at 100 yards with the Russian light ball surplus. i'm finding the point of impact about 4 inches lower with the Bulgarian milsurp. I think with this means I can take a more "dead on" hold with the Bulgarian. I need to do some more shooting with this gun, as I am trying a variety of loads, including my own handloads. By the way, this is a quarter size silouette target and the group I shot measures just under 4 inches; I don't think that is too bad for a carbine.
