I wanted to push my limits today and shoot the long range boards at the club. Original plan was the 250 yd but the wind was pretty gusty at 85 km/hr or about 50 mph. So I went for the 200 yd, with a garbage can lid as the target. Now, for the life of me I cannot imagine why I thought I would hear some steel or tin go ping or klink or something like it but no. Just for the record, if someone is shooting at you with a high wall, don't take cover behind the garbage cans. Even 200 gr lead is like a knife through butter by the looks of it. I don't even think the lid moved. It just hung there and took it like a...well like a lid.
200 yds, shooting from 1 knee as usual, 1885 High Wall 45 Colt. Sweet rifle and worth the 2 yr wait. I shot 50 rounds, and looks like about 38-40 in the lid. Took some time to get my windage and elevation sorted out. This is about 2 hrs worth of shooting, and I walked out and back quite bit to check on things. Good cardio workout today.
