My AR-15 is not an "assault weapon", mine is an "Anti-Assault Weapon".
I have my ancestor's original "assault weapon" hanging in my house. It was used against Brittish forces in 1776 or so.
My ancestors Flintlock. It has been passed down from father to son. Lancaster county Pennsylvania long rifle. Still has "grease" in the stock. It has been in the family since before the Revolution.
A mild-dot will give you many options. You can use it to calculate range, hold over, drift, up hill/ down hill trajectories... Probably more, I just don't have that much knowledge.
Much better
425 grain Great Plains bullet, 105 grains RS. This is doing a 3 in group at 100 yards. If I had a scope on the rifle, I could probably do better. I still have time before the hunt, so I am going to experiment with Select and see how that does.
Frustrating day at the range.
I went to a .020 patch, same box of .530 round balls and RS powder. I used between 80 and 100 grains of powder and was lucky to hit a 2' square piece of wood at 100 yds.
This is confusing me. It will damn near cloverleaf at 50 yards. I'm thinking about trying...
I measured the I.D. of the barrel. It is .550. (Groove to Groove) A .530 ball with a .020 Patch would then be .570 creating .020 crush. Like I said, the .010 patches were way to small and this next step I took (.015) seemed to work, up to a point. I agree, more work needs to be done, but I...
Test Results
.015 Patch
.530 Hornady Round ball
R/S Powder.
The patch/ball combo loaded really easy, once it was started. With 80 grains of powder, the patches have a nice round black mark and it shot pretty well at 50 yds. (1.5" group)
Went to 90 then 100 grains, and the group still...
We have an increase in White Wing populations, as well as Eurasians here in Albuquerque, and I think it is due to the fire in Arizona. I've never seen this many White Wings here!
