going to range - The Firearms Forum

tomorrow I am going out to see what happens with the .270

got the windage screws for the bases and have 20 fresh loads to try out.

I told the nephew I was going and he asked if he could come along. then he asked if he could try the .243 I told him I have no ammo and nothing to make loads with yet. he said "no problem, I'll buy a box or 2 and we can try factory loads". I hope he doesn't wuss out. it's going to be balmy and maybe even snowing. kind of like hunting

I'll post up a range report afterwards

I feel as bad as HB looks. I will report another time. I've had a mild cold for 4 days, today did not help any. but I am happy with results so far.
