Title: Have to brag a little
Post by: gunman42782 on May 07, 2007, 11:28:37 AM
Took an odd assortment of guns shooting today, an Old Army, a Old Model Blackhawk .41 Magnum, a MK 2 .22, and a Mini 14.  This was the best group of the day (by far).  It is 10 shots at 15 yds with my OM .41 Magnum.  I have a few that were almost that good, but would always throw one out of the group, so I was tickled with this one.

If you will look close at the target in the photo, the load is listed.  In case you can't see it, it is 6.7 grains of Unique (which is admittatedly pretty light) and a 210 grains lead SWC bullet.  Winchester primers, starline cases.  I just loaded some up with 8 grains of Unique (which is more like it should be) and I will see how well those shoot.

I can do that to... of course that's at point blank range with a pair of scissors.

Great shooting
