98Z5V Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 45-70 Challenge is happening anyway - but that thing won't set off Tannerite. Too slow on the projo. I've got some $hit planned for the 45-70... picked up another 50 rounds of new unprimed Hornady brass tonight after work. Chamfered the inner case, tossed them in the tumbler, and they're all primed now. They'll get powder/projo tomorrow night. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Any word from you peeps? I'm shooting anyway, but if you guys aren't coming, I'll wake up later... :)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Armory Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 8 AM. To 9 AM sounds goods. Trying to talk Lance into going... He has Very Cool ToyZ ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Did a trial run on the 45-70 today. I put 20 rounds through it, so I know it can be done. It's got about 5 feet of drop at 300 yards. Here are Jake's first - and only - 2 rounds... <lmao> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Shouldn't be - it's unlisted, but not private. With the direct link here, you should be able to view it. Don't know how the damn thing turned itself to Private, but it did. I just fixed it, and it's "unlisted" - should be able to watch the shoulder-pain... <lmao> Edited January 26, 2015 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Lol. Poor Jake. I hope you let him rub a little vagisil on that shoulder when he got home! I'm still working on heading out. Weather could be a deciding factor at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Only took a couple rifles out there, and was only there for about 1.5 hours. Just needed to get the sights set on that damn 45-70. Here's the hardware: Set up paper zero targets at 50 yards, just to see where this was at on paper. When I put the sights on, I guessed at elevation , and centered up the windage - I was thinking I'd be close. I shot two, and Jake couldn't find them on paper... I was thinking this was gonna be a long day... Walked out there, and both were in the black. 50 yards, done. Had the steel swinger out at 100 already, so I held center and sent one - knocked the damn target over. It blew the steel target out of the hooks and everything hit the ground - even with rocks stacked on the legs. Never had any hot .30-caliber do that... <laughs> Went down and set everything back up, in order to keep shooting. At 100, holding center, it hit the lower 1/3 on the target. I'll take that. It's pretty easy to see which impact is the 45-70. No doubting that mark... With everything set back up, I resumed shooting. Hit that bastard again, and the whole target came apart again. Back downrange... When I got down there, it was a dead-center hit. This load was 2 for 2 in knocking the damn target over, and I was very happy with the point of impact, so I just brought the target back to the truck. Done shooting... Or so I thought... Decided to load it up again, and start shooting at large rocks at distance. This is how I found out how much drop I had at 300 yards. I was holding over until I got that large rock, too. At 500 yards, it's pretty impressive how much dirt flies. Like Jon said earlier, this thing isn't shooting bullets - it's flinging ingots... <lmao> At 500, the drop had to be about 10 feet. It was nuts. This is the newest beachmaster sling, right here - this one is going on Sexual Chocolate. I'll pick up mounting hardware tomorrow and get pics up Tuesday. Enjoy, men! Can't wait until next weekend... >:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 This is for those that might doubt whether I dead-centered that bastard the second time... We'll just remove all doubt right now... <lmao> Had 5 more rounds in the Ruger GSR mag, so I had Jake shoot two offhand, with sling, Primary Arms 3MOA red dot - target was the section of zero targets at 50 yards. He shot two, and I shot the other three. I hope I had the ones that were closer to center, or I put two lower left, then jerked another one... <laughs> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 No mud at my location - the shoot location. Smooth sailing all the way to the mountain base. I'm going anyway. Jake and I will shoot, and send you lazy bastards some videos. Mike, you in, brother? I was going to ask one of you guys to bring a table (I only have one), but I guess that won't matter.

98Z5V Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 You're welcome over here anytime brother. We'd shoot if you come over, just because it would be crazy not to - but you don't have to just come over for a shoot. <thumbsup> Looks like I gotta take the 45-70 Challenge all on my own in the morning. I'll get it on video. Multiple-steel-target engagements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
