Fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.
I use the PPU stuff quite a bit as my cheap bulk 357 ammo, too. Does great for general target and practice.

And if you handload, it's better than Federal. Seem to be finding this out.

Do you mean the brass is better? I’m saving all my brass in case I decide to reload someday.Rifletom wrote:And if you handload, it's better than Federal. Seem to be finding this out.

Re: BBSC post repair range report
deano, yeah. The brass is better. Those AE factory rounds are some very good ammo. But, I'm finding the Federal brass after 1-2 handloads tends to be stretching more than others for some reason. I'm only thinking its because its "softer" brass.

Re: BBSC post repair range report
I shoot my best off hand when I just shoulder the rifle, aim and shoot. No thinking. That critter is coming and there's no time to waste. Those are always my best targets. If I hold, aim, breathe, aim, hold breath, shift weight, aim....it's never as good and that critter ate me.

All that hold aim breathe stuff when one of those grizs is comin at you would get you ate up for sure. RR you need one of those BFR 45-70 pistolas and a cross draw holster for some griz protection.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: BBSC post repair range report
This is the very heart of the shooting equation. It's really the art of zen applied to shooting a gun. If you'e thinking anything but that sight picture, you're setting yourself up for a miss. Make no mistake, breath control, trigger control, gun hold, stance and so on need to be learned and practiced and consistently applied for each and every shot and practiced to the point of them becoming muscle memory and automatic, but when it comes time to shoot ALL of those must be put out of your mind and 110% of your concentration given to that sight picture, especially that front sight. Then, as RR says, it's time to just shoulder the rifle, aim and shoot. MUCH easier said than done, but, then, shooting really is a mental game.RanchRoper wrote:I shoot my best off hand when I just shoulder the rifle, aim and shoot. No thinking.
