Home Forums Hunting & Shooting BPCR First 100 yd group...I'm totally elated!

Back to the range today with the Shiloh 45-90. Put about 5 shots out at 50 yds playing with the sights and then decided to move to 100 yds. The first round was on the paper, so I elected to send out 2 more rounds just to try for a group. Here's the results. Yes, it was about 4 inches low, but I was totally tickled. I'll work in some elevation and give it another go in a couple of weeks. Measurement was from the outer edge of visible leading (top to bottom) on the paper. This was with a post front sight, but I think I'm going to try an aperture up front on the next go around.

I was also dialing in a 240 Weatherby with an 18 X scope and didn't do near as well with that. If I draw a tag next year, elk beware. 1Minute



Edited: With a little after thought... It's probably one of those beginner's luck deals that won't be duplicated for another 5 years.

Pretty darn good! I've seen some WP guns that can't do that good.

That's a great start! It's always encouraging to get a nice group the first time out with a new BPCR, especially when you read all the discouraging experiences of folks trying to get their rifles to shoot decently.

Now go for consistency.

I'm a bit elated too,....for you, and this early success.

Great Work there, bud.
