Adapt, improvise and overcome!Shot an indoor range with no benches.
Flipped around the high backed chair they had to rest elbow on.
Rifle on a sandbag on their lane's narrow table top
Worked good.
Hv regularly groups poorly. I'm happy if I can keep them 1" at 50 for squirrels, but for groups i regularly see standard and faster subs holding the best patterns
Hey, Ggreen!
Lesson learned!
I was just using it for the 1st round of tuning, since I have 30k rounds of HV since I thought faster was better and only bought it for 2 yrs.
When I bought my Smith 41 is when I found out that it needed SV & I should quit using the HV when others told me to "Stop it!"
TargetSportsUSA had CCI SV for sale at $240/5000 rds. & I ordered it since I'm under 10k rds. now.
My ruger american rimfire target puts federal gold medal match in the same hole at 20yards. Just another to try out. weighing and washing rounds is big in all the precision rimfire groups I lurk in. I rarely have that kind of time, but it can really even out magazines.
Side note, most guys get better groups out of the rpr using standard 10 Rd magazines as well.
I really think you'll end up liking rifles as much or more than pistols. Especially once you get into learning to use a scope, building a dope card and dialing shots rather than holding over. Your detail and data collecting/analysis lens itself to precision shooting well.
Once time allows we should go to Hoosier hills and ring the 200 yard steel.
Just because you've never shot 200+ doesn't mean you can't do it.That would be awesome!
I can't imagine I'll be able to do it, but if I bring enough ammo.........................
Just pm me & I'll give you my cell #.
I still have you in my cell if you're the same Green that I bought my 1st CZ from (I ended up having 8 total).
Silhouettes at 200 are really easy on a calm day.

You keep stretching out your distances and soon your going to be buying a centerfire rifle...
If I can get some time off to meet up at hhrp the first magazine is on me... Stretching out is addictive... 22lr is a gateway cartridge.
If you are referring to this place, it is about an hour from my house:
Hoosier Hills Rifle and Pistol Club
Address: 400-698 Camp Moneto Rd, Nashville, IN 47448
I'd be delighted to do the drive and get an introduction to long-range shooting 101.
Just looking through that scope would be enough to make my day!
PM me or if you still have my number, text or call and we can work out a time & day whenever you are free.
I have only a few appts. during the week.
