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

Ringin steel beats paper shooting any day of the week at my house

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.

Jones, it only gets better! Good choice on cartridge and load.

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.
