Shut up, grab some shit 55 grain factory and pound the X ring. Yes vision denial has screwed me a few times.Whoops...
Yesterday I did a deep bore cleaning for my match M1 and the Bula M14. Other than a quick swab it's been a while. I think ~47 patches to get the M1 clean. This morning I went to take care of a little range maintenance and practice. 125's shot great in the M1- seem to be accurate and noticeably less recoil. I thought I had ~50 rounds of 308 for the Bula but only 5 were 308. The rest were 7.5 Swiss loaded in PPU brass. This is what happens when you are f-ing old and don't wear your reading glasses.
What makes it worse is that I'm in the middle of a reload room make-over and won't have time to load 308. I hope I have ammo loaded or some Sig Match for the fugly Franken-ARbomination.
edit- Damn, all out of Sig match 77 but I did have some 77 home brew with Nosler CC's and Benchmark. Maybe get a quick sight in this evening.
yeah it hide behind the others in shame when I took the shot.Glad you were able to stop by and give us all some hell. Did you cough wu flu on our ammo?
Good Gawd that AR in the middle pic is fugly!

Although fit will be awful try finding a pair of 1.0 cheaters and see how that works out. Most "glasses" frames are not well suited to shooting in positions. Even my Randolph Rangers I could use a higher bridge for Prone and I put the left nose pad on the right side of my nose to avoid looking through the frame and lense.Didn't shoot well today, but glad to be there and see everyone. I need offhand technique to be better than it is. I could see a little better today, but going to try different glasses going forward...
Melted glove? Maybe needs to shoot slower not fast...
just a up date , the K31 shot well . Problem was i was between settings 200/300 meters on the rear sight. 200 put me in the high 9 low 10 area , 300 was like the picture above. Now since my eyes where not good Sunday I had to go with the 200 meter setting and fade into the bull or hold over more . 300 m would require a hold under which for me is harder to see and hold a line of white between the sight and bull. i also will struggle with horizontal hold trying to hold below the bull.Snuck out for a QUICK test of the K31. I had a tough time with that rear sight but managed a in the black group with just elbows on the bench (my quick test method) I had the rear sight set to 200 meters and did a 6 oc hold as I just could not see well enough to do a center hold and ladned the 5 shots around the 10 ring....windage is good E nuff, that was my big concern as I swapped out sights. I set the sights to 300m and took 3 more with a 6oc hold and they printed a tad high
So for the heck of it I went to 200 yards with a 300 meter rear sight setting and a 6 oc hold with 6 rounds in the mag. Printed a tad high so I hope maybe my eyes after some good rest this week and some eyesight super foods I can go back to center hold come sunday (unless I can get new Rx by Friday). If not I will just have to fudge a little more white and do some wishful thinking. I cant hold a repeatable line of white looking at a fuzzy front sight? O well Keep them in the black and I will be happy. Im sure off hand will suffer anyway
