Hope to do better but off to a good start

Took the BBS 45 Colt to the range - I was happy with 3” groups at 25 yds and 5 to 6” groups at 50 yds but delighted with ringing a 12x14 inch steel 7 out of ten times at 100yds - WOW that was a kick.

Have a photo of a target but don’t know how to post it - will work on that

What type loads were you shooting....factory or reloads? Great job hitting the 100 yd. gong!

Ringing steel at a 100, absolutely.
Sounds like a fun day.

Congrats for a very successful range trip. Anytime I get a chance to ring steel, I'll take it. At 100 yards you really get a sense of accomplishment.

Keepem ringing.

Paul
