Good day at the range

Went to Sac Valley Shooting Center Thursday to check zero on my rifles and to try out some handloads for the vintage military silhouette match next week.

I usually shoot either a Persian or an '09 Argentine Mauser that were d&t'd by the previous owners. I ended up putting Bushnell 10x40 3200 scopes on them.

Both rifles did well. I used the 300 yard range and started at 220 yards (200 meters), to get a good zero for the chickens.

After a few scope corrections, the Argentine did pretty well with handloads @ 200 meters...

The Persian wasn't quite as good as the Argentine at 200 meters

But made up for it by shooting a smaller group at 300 yards than it did at 220...

I also took my son's K31 to shoot some handloads in it. It doesn't have a scope, and the stock is a little beaten up, but it shoots well.
