update?



Haven't had a chance to do anything with them. Full time job, 2-1/2 hour daily round trip commute, weekends busy finishing deck teardown/landscaping/rebuild project I started last year after my hip replacement. Next project is to replace cedar siding where the $#%&* flickers have poked 2" holes in it. Range time has been pretty limited.

Don't know if I'll get to water jug shooting this year, although I probably have 50 or more in the garage. Might get a chance to test .243/95g SST and .308/165g SST in jugs this weekend. I figure 2 jugs per load with a fresh paper or cardboard backdrop will tell me what I want to know. Pretty much expect the backdrops to have a lot of holes in them but maybe I'll be surprised.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
