Yesterday was the first time out for the 2019 season. I have not shot since the end of November as our winter was really rough. Not a single day where it was nice enough to teach me something, My C. Sharps 74, 34 inch standard octagon barrel, 45-70. target is the 300 yard reduced to 200 off cross sticks, benched. 3 bullets, 3 loads. BACO #459530M1 Money Bullet, Un-sized, pan lubed. Money bullets were seated with the 1'st lube groove exposed, 73.0 grains Swiss 1.5 and 73.0 grains of OE 1.5. CCI BR2's in neck sized Winchester brass. BACO #444540M and #444530E patched with .002 100% rag paper and 85.0 grains of Swiss 1.5 ( This is an old lot that is of light density). Sighter #1 using the greaser Money Bullet was in the white at 9:30 middle 7 ring. 2"nd the middle 8 at 9. One more sight correction and shot for group. I did not make anymore adjustments for the rest of the string. 4 mistakes due to poor sight alignment. The rest in the 9 or better. Pleased with the results after a very long layoff.
