What once was a clean target...




Mackay's .45 hole is the oblong hole near the center...it intersected with one of my .41s... I was on the 75X power potting scope when he fired. Saw the dirt kick up behind the target so I knew the round was on target...




Me and "The Kid"...





Bullet on the left is a 240 grain Lyman Round Nose that went through the upper right corner of the target, hit the T-post and was laying on the ground about 6' to the left of the target...just a lucky find. The other is the 255 Cast Performance WFN-GC that Kimber found.




Mackay mentioned his crimp problem. When he was shooting his .44 loads the velocities were so inconsistent that the bullets were hitting in a 200'+ vertical dispersion....yet he hit the 100 yard gong no problem.

..can hardly wait to be able to do this again.....
