Keith: There is a special place for you, when you go to Port Clinton for 'The Vintage Matches'.



Not yet, not yet.  I'm having a challenge getting it to print consistently at 200 yards.  Part of it is my lack of familiarity with the ladder sight.  I got a 1903 Springfield ladder sight micrometer and next time out I'll get it figured out.  But for now my groups are staying well within the 9 ring and hovering close to 10 ring in size.  They are getting more consistent with less vertical stringing and far fewer uncalled flyers.  Making progress but it's slow.  I still have not tried the magnum primers yet but will next month.  There just is a wealth of difference between 100 and 200 yards.  What works at 100 just doesn't always transfer well to further out.  The journey continues.
