What did you do at the range today?

About a 100 rounds today through the trainer.
Worked on seated unsupported and supported.

Unsupported was a dumpster fire. Supported I was able to minic my prone groups.

On week three of a sinus infection from hell. So I had a box of Kleenex. Reset and prep included a nose blow after each magazine

Also shot my 88 tmk load I've been working on. Thing hammers 10 inside an inch. Also this is on like 1200 rounds without cleaning. Maybe even 13 at this point. Which as a dude who cleaned every 200 is eye opening.

I discovered that if I never find any N555 ever again, that AA4350 makes a pretty good substitute in my 7x57. 10 rounds, under an inch, from a 7.75lb scope and all rifle, essentially identical (possibly even a hair better) to what I get from N555 and 162 ELD-X's. A bit slower (2625 instead of 2675), but not enough to matter to yee olde critters. Definitely doing the happy dance for this one.

30-06 and 165 GameKings and Varget, that drilled such a beautiful 5 round group in my back yard, fell apart hard with 15 rounds at the big range - not even going to post the garbage group it made. Back to the drawing board for that one.
 
Sure wish Accurate 4350 was more temp stable, I have quite a bit of it that I just load for fowler‘s/fire forming loads.
