I finally made my first outing to the range this year. Shot my T/C .58 caliber Hawken.
Shot a lot from 50 yards. Then fired a few shots from 100 yards (I never shot this rifle from more than 50 yards).
All in all, not a bad outing, given that I have not shot in over 6 months.
All shots were made using 62 grains of Goex FFG, followed by a wad, patched round Hornady ball. I also used a little bit of spit on the patch and did not have to clean at all between shots. No problem ramming the charge down either.
Once I placed the target out to 100 yards the wind started to whip up a bit. Any variation in grouping on either target was due more to my inadequacies than the rifle's!
Great day to be out at the range...
