Success!!!

Post by Kissmybrass » Fri Aug 06, 2021 8:23 pm

I am sooooo happy with these bullet and powder combinations.
The kick was right between light Cowboy and shoulder bruising Bear loads and the accuracy was crazy dead on with the Missouri Coated 300's
I'm still shocked and smiling -
After clicking the scope in, my first two Missouri shots were dead on. Third got loose because I was crazy smiling and lost all focus lol
My 16 year old, Jimmy (in the pic) never shot a large caliber before so I told him to take two shots at the upper left diamond and he nailed it!!!!
Gas checks seemed to suffer a bit and were low but I figured both bullets wouldn't hit the same areas. Target distance was 50 yards.
Everybody on this site that helped me take shares in those bullseyes! Thanks again!

Your son looks mighty stoked 'brass! Good shooting all around. Missouri Bullets are the deal. Your handloads are working. That is a huge confidence builder. Good job!

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.......
