With all of these coronavirus problems here, all clubs are closing for an unknown number of weeks.
Fortunately, I was able today to go with a friend for the last day of opening of the only shooting range in the région which has a shooting range of 200 meters (218 yards),
in order to make the second adjustment of my riflescope, very recently acquired, a vortex diamondback tactical 6-24X50. :
It is installed on a Marlin 1895 SBL :
(not very conventional, I know , but ... fun !)
loading:
330 gr HP full lead Bullet, made from lyman mold #457122
Powder: IMR 4198, 37 grains
Starline case
primer CCI 200
Medium crimp
The first time this was quite difficult, not enough clicks to compensate for the fall of 45-70 !!!
So I bought a 20 moa picatiny sloped rail (i don't know if it is the good translation , apologize....) , to be able to gain in adjustment limit of the scope.
After adjusting to 110 yards , and put the scope to zero with this adjustment, we moved to range 218 yard.
It was much more comfortable this time, and I am not at the maximum of correction.
After 6 shots, to correcting and adjust the scope turrets clicks:
i'm happy, it was only the third time i shoot with a riffle
Next step, 328 yards ...
See you soon !
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

You have to be feeling good BruniX.
Success with ammo you made with bullets you made.
My Williams sight on my CB is bottomed out at 200m plus a little. For the 300 yd Gong I have to hole high about 3 ft plus or minus.

That 330-grain HP Bullet you created is impressive! Always like to view your loading results.
Good shooting, BruniX.
