Had a fun day at the range today. The load is an HSM 255 copper plated flat point over 9.5 gr unique, averaged 1140 fps at 15 feet. Targets at 50 yards. 5 shot groups. The “flyer” on the first target was 1st shot, before a sight correction, then 5 more.

Shot my .308, the “Zombie Slayer” a couple weeks ago, and got beat up pretty bad by range gremlins. It started bad and got worse, ending with the replacement of a few small parts.

I took care of all my issues, and was rewarded with this. My last 14 shots at 1000 yards, 12 hits. Wind nudged 2 shots just off the edge of the target. I wear electronic earmuffs, makes it really cool to hear that clang from that far away. Fun day today.

Great POIs/shooting with the Henry .45LC lever gun! Any of your targets are keepers, Ratchet.

Really like your telling of the "long-range redemption" after beating down the range gremlins. 11/14 clangs at 1000 yards is most impressive shooting --- congrats on the good work!

Very, very best result, as always, when you said ---> "...it's really cool to hear that clang from that far away. Fun day today."

Shot my .308, the “Zombie Slayer” .... My last 14 shots at 1000 yards, 12 hits.

heck of a group with your 45 ... also, 1000 yards is one heck of a long way .... tip of my cap, that's sure impressive

No doubt, nice shooting!!

Very, very nice! I don't even know where I'd go to safely set up a 1,000 yard shot, so count yourself lucky AND skilled! Thanks for sharing and good work!

It’s beeb a long time since I shot at a thousand yards. Don’t think I could hit anything like you did.
