Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles My son is becoming a marksman

We had a range day Sunday. A little windy when we started but not bad.

My son wanted to try some new loads in his Stevens .223. These are the same loads that shot bughole groups in my T3. 50 grain VMax, 26.5g Benchmark, 2.276", CCI 400 primers, once-fired Remington brass.

We warmed up at 50, just to get close to zero. He had been shooting 40 grain VMax so the zero was a little off with the new loads.

We got him on paper at 100, then taped the holes at the cease-fire. Cade settled down and put three shots in 0.496".




Good thing I found an 8-lb jug of Benchmark!

Good shooting

I love the Winston Churchill quote: "To shoot a good game of pool shows a well-rounded youth... To shoot too good a game of pool shows a misspent youth!"

Three cheers for providing a misspent youth!

That's awesome Pharm! May, or may not be because he probably had a great teacher! Looks like you guys have a great pastime together.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
