So I recently got my lady back from the armor so I decided to go to the range and give her a work out. She is an M1A loaded that has Sadlak gas piston,and op rod spring guide. She has been beaded, had her gas system unitized, and shimmed. She wears a SAI 3rd or 4th Gen scope mount (not sure how to tell the diff) with a SAI 4-14X56 scope. It was a pleasant 24 deg with no wind.
First target is 15 adjusting the scope a few of the last rounds I was overcompensating and chasing the bull. 1/4 moa scope adjustments and a 1+- MOA rifle walk it in when you get close. I was shooting some home rolled 168gr Hornady BTHP in new IVI Brass with CCI no 200 primer packed with 41.9 gr of H4895 C.O.L 2.8.
Second target is 5 rounds of Hornady 168 gr Amax loaded same as above. 1.25 inches +-. My rifle can now out shoot me so it is time for me to go to work.
Just to try something different third target is 5 rounds loaded with Hornady 110gr Vmax with 49gr H380 same C.O.L, primer, and brass. This round is going to take a little more work. but is a start.
Next outing I will see what she does with surplus ammo. she did not like it at all before the work was done.
I hope everyone else's day was half as good as mine.MC1
