Went to the range last night with my old hunting rifle. Haven't pulled a trigger on this for almost 30 years.
Wanted to introduce my son to high-power rifle but didn't want to scare him off with the recoil.
Bought some lead bullets from Missouri bullet and loaded them with 12.0 grains of Unique. These were just incredible fun to shoot! Surprisingly accurate too. At 25 yards they'd stay in an inch if I did my part.
My sons been shooting the .22 rimfire and loves it because of the light recoil. The '06 rounds last night certainly recoiled more than the .22 LR but were a true joy to shoot. I only brought 10 rounds to try out. Wished I'd brought more. Will next time.
All the Best,
D. White
