Title: First Range Trip for Project Krag Post by bote on Nov 28th, 2016 at 3:03pm
I'm really encouraged with my first range trip. Three sight adjustments and it was in the 10 ring at 50 yards. I know 50 yards isn't 200 but I'm pretty sure it will shoot better than I'm capable of. The light was low as it was overcast and late. I was having trouble seeing the skinny front sight. I may have a thicker one made like I did for my 1903A3. I chose the 1902 rear sight with the peep drilled out to .040"; may go a little bigger. These were my first rounds ever using IMR4350. I loaded 40 grains under Hornady 220 RN at 3.08 OAL, CCI 200 primers. Any tips for fine elevation adjustments with the 1902 rear sight?
