Today’s 45 70

[T56Impala]

So I haven’t been to the range much since my wife passed away in April. Went out today with the 45/70. Tried three different rounds.

Outside
100 yard
90 degrees and muggy
Wind from port at 5-7

Georgia arms 300Gr hollow point
5 inch group (6 shots), slightly right and high

Grizzly 405gr cast flat nose
10 inch group (6 Shots), mostly center
Boy do these put BIG holes in things!

Grizzly 325gr +P JFN
4 inch group (9) rounds slightly right
If you want recoil, these are your rounds! Absolutely loved squeezing them off! $59 down range and I consider it money well spent.it was good to get back out there. For all you haters….Osprey 3x9x40 scope. Works just fine for me!

Glad you got out, and sorry about your loss. I agree, getting out to the range is good. When I go out, it is nice and peaceful. And, I get a chance to refine my shooting. I may shoot less than 20 rounds. But, I typically spent an 1 1\2 hours doing so. I just take my time and focus on the details. Most times, I am the only there. So, there are very few distractions.

Sorry for your loss. Range time is good. And no I don’t want the recoil!
