A day at the range with my Model 1899 in .303 Savage

[MrBojangles]

Just a few photographs. I’m okay with the grouping given the fact the bullets fired weren’t perfect as they had been pulled plus it was difficult trying to figure out where to hold based on the position of the aperture insert. At 50 yards, 150 gr #3031 Hornady bullet, 30 grains IMR 4064.

And an additional 10 shots at 100 yards. The one way high I recall throwing that shot. Any one of them will kill a deer.

Not bad given iron sights, untested load & such. Was that off hand?

 

[MrBojangles]

Some from a bench not using a rest and some with a rest. Every bullet, more or less, had vice grip marks in the copper jacket. I thought they might be junk. I’m glad I fired them instead of scrapping in the lead pot.
