Some days things just do not work out.
Of late I have been trying to come up with an alternative to Alliant 2400, as it is next to impossible to get or the LGS wants some crazy price for it.
No pun intended, I set my sights on IMR 4198 and Reloader 7, as of right now I haven’t got any H4198.
Before I forget the guns I am partial to are the 1903 and 1903A3’s in the wildly exotic 30-06 Springfield calibre (European spelling).
I shoot mainly @ 100 yds, with the occasional 200 thrown in.
The gun of choice today was a full military dress, Rock Island, 1920ish vintage with a mint four groove HS ’44 barrel.
The gun was tapped for a scope when I got it so I but on a spare Refield 6.5-20x, fine cross hair with target dot scope.
Two of the boolits I tried today were NOE’s 315 and the Lee 155 2r.
I use the 315 as a control as it ALWAYS shoots good (as you can see).
This game is shot mostly in the head, yes it is a head game.
IF that fourth round had not gone out on target #1 !
And then downhill from there.
Oh well there is always tomorrow.
P.S. All boolits were sized .311, lubed with Ben’s Red and Lightly rolled in Ben’s Liquid Lube
