Looks good Izzy. How did that first shot flyer issue do?

Actually it was a first 2 or 3 shot flyer that is now a 1 shot flyer. Think I'm just gonna accept that the rifle will do that. I sure can't get it any cleaner so its not that, although two things also happened. The rifle will now shoot some other ammo decently that it would not before and the group size with the Wolf MT shrunk as well. So some progress was made. I'll just shoot the first shot into the dirt and live with that.

Also I found that if I pull a dry patch through the barrel (using a Patch Worm) it seems to start out shooting its best right away. Gonna retire my Bore Snake in favor of the patch worm, cleans alot better and my wife hated it when I put the BoreSnake in the washer. The Patch Worm works for every caliber up to 12 ga and uses only 22 cal patches for everything. Neat item, works good and cheap.

Breaking my habit of waiting 'til the last minute, I got out to the range today to shoot the October targets. Same rig as always; Zastava Z5, Simmons 22 mag 3-9x 32mm AO scope, Caldwell Rock Jr. front rest, gravel bag rear, 50 yard range. First up is the Not So Elite target using Winchester 333 ammo. With about 1000 rounds through the Z5 the groups have tightened up considerably. At this point I can almost always tell if a shot is a flier, so the limiting factor for accuracy is me, not the gun. I shot 3 targets, scoring 141, 142, and 144. Best is shown.



Then I shot 3 Elite targets with Winchester 333, scoring 74, 74, and 76. Again, best is shown.



I was talking with a friendly fellow shooter about .22 ammo and he offered me some Ruski target ammo that wouldn't function in his automatic pistol, and he suggested I give it a try; so I shot 2 more elite targets with it, scoring 72 and 74. Thanks Tom!



It seemed to work pretty well, but it was given to him by another shooter and he didn't know where that person got it or anything else about the ammo. Does anyone recognize this stuff?

Only thing I could find. Maybe this is it in a new wrapper.

Hey, it's sold out, Izzy, but I think that's probably the same stuff, based on going to this website:

There's a Vostok button there which leads.......nowhere. Oh well.....

[usmcchet9296]

Elite 50 yards best group

I shot this when the wind was at the worst so its not a great score but under the circumstances it was pretty good

Already cleared the 25 yard targets on Wed but may post the results of some of my other guns at that range later.

shot today with light wind

Very Impressive!!!! I'm going to see if my mod 60 can even come close to this. I doubt it.

[surfNshoot]

Here is my 25 yard target. I wasn't doing so well at 50 yards. I'll try again.

Mossberg 44us
SK standard plus
peep sights

Score: Cleaned 120

[Izzy43]

Nice shooting, SurfNshoot. Competition is getting tight. Can I borrow that Mossy 44US? Just for a couple of months. I've tried the 25 yd target with irons and red dot on my Zastava Z5 and can't hit diddly and its not the rifle.

[surfNshoot]

Finally!!!!!!! I get a day with no wind. It was cold and misty but it was a great day anyway. I really got this TR figured out today. I must say I even shocked myself.

Both shot with my Savage TR. SK standard plus ammo. SWFA SS 16x scope

Not so elite: 149 points. SOOO freaking close. last target second to the last shot. I held in a bad word.

Elite: 80 points.

HAHAHA. I must say these mossbergs are little gems.

HAHA. Last I remeber, you had the .22 ballpoint. You didn't think I was going to make it easy on you did you? Get out there and beat it. Shouldn't be much wind today either.
