I got out to shoot today before the rain rolled in. Started with my carry pistol, then to my .357 Mag GP100. Finished off a box of reloads that had made it to the range three of four times so it was getting low. Next I brought out a .22 rifle i hadn’t shot in awhile and figured I should make sure it was still sighted in. Moved on to the .223 as I had a handful of random loads I hadn’t shot. Bottom of the box of some bullets I had been gifted to try. So I shot those one load was a 69gr Sierra Matchking and the other was a 75gr Hornady BTHP. There was under 6 of the Sierras and 11 of the Hornadys. After that I almost packed up and left but decided I might as well shoot the .338-06 since I brought it along. After testing loads for that over the past few months I figured I should finally rough sight-in now that I’ve picked a load. So at 105 yards, I shot two that told me where I was hitting. Adjusted to lower and move right and decided that was good enough for now until I take it out to 200 next time.
Both of the .223 were just a starting load loaded to book-length so I wasn’t expecting much out of them but weren’t terrible.
