    Default Warming up with new load for the 10 dot challenge

    Practicing at 100 yds with my Bula Ultra 10 dot rifle. Load it 45 gn of RL-15 in an LC LR case pushing a Berger 150 gn fb target bullet. Letting the rifle cool a bit and I will be using a 10 dot target. Whatta Hobby!

    Tried out one of the Billiard Select targets brought up for consideration recently. Would be a great target to shoot with a spotter calling which ball to take out next. #2 was a goof on the shooter's part. Mark on target looked like a hit so no shot on ball #2. Wondered why there was a bullet left in the chamber after the string. Whatta Hobby!

    Love this discipline completely. Shot this morning for an hour and things were going so well I decided to put up a 10 dot. Whatta Hobby!

    a few years ago I was at the range with my Remington Mod 37 and did the dot challenge

    had dialed in the Unertl, and warmed up on a few targets, the started shooting staples out of the backer,

    then hit the dot target,

    it was actually harder than I thought to get each round in the center, even from a bench

    Most excellent. Try it with an M14 one day. Can really be humbling.

    I need to,

    the M14's (have 2, one NFA, one semi) need some range time,

    both wear ART's too

    You might need to find better optics for the 10 dot.

    Looking forward to seeing how they work out for you. I know a number of guys tried the old optics and just couldn't make them work. Fine for minute of man, but moa, not so much.

    when I built it, the M1A would hold 3/4 MOA all day long,

    even after it was converted to NFA,

    I had Dad's notes from a class he attended in 1968 at RIA when in the Service , they basically built up the M14's and 1911's when there, so built it to the same specs (the ART is about that vintage as well, )
