Last Saturday I was having a nice Range Day

No hints about high pressure




Comp. 0,19 inch
Wad: Milkcarton

Lyman Postell Bullet, sized to .458 and the first Drivingband sized to .450
Bullet was set by hand and run through a Lyman Necksizing Die to get a little neck tension

Distance: 100m
Sitting
Cross Sticks



First 5 Shots are high by light condition at this day ( sunny )

Rear sight adjustment done by two times and following 15 Shoots
13 hits the Bucket but one flyer right side and one flyer high inside the triple hole was my mistake.
