Vaguely 7moa drop to the target 😅...

And yes, I use moa and not mils 🤷‍♂️.

Apparently that is sacrilegious to other prs rimfire shooters 🫠:

For anyone thinking of an antique revolver to add to their collection, the French MAS 1873 might be my favourite (over my Webley and my Swiss 1882. Half price of those ones too!).

Using light smokeless handloads which often spews incompletely burned powder, I find due to the amount of moving parts with the Webley, it gums up quick and performance suffers. And over the Swiss, 45ACP is way easier to reload, both light loads or full loads in general. Since the MAS has few moving parts, it will rip through tons of light smokeless reloads in 1 sitting and performance is barely hindered.

Load that I’m using is a home-brew: 3.5grains of win 231 powder, CCI large pistol primer, starline and range pickup 45ACP brass, 230g LRN bullet from Rusty Wood, 1.22-1.26OAL (this load works identically with a 200g LSWC as well, and also works for Webley revolvers in 45ACP)

Happy shooting friends!

I have 2 crown land related questions:

1. Does anyone know a good spot not too far from Simcoe County Ontario where someone can legally shoot on crown land? I had a spot my buddy showed me near Coldwater and Port Severn, where we had these dirt mounds and dirt roads by some running water, but he's concerned that we're going to run into issues because we're semi-close to nearby electrical towers.

2. This brings me to my second question - Are there any limitations or prohibitions on shooting near electrical towers/power lines? We're a good few hundred feet from them, separated by an open field and some dirt mounts, but they are visible in the distance. Is this going to be a problem?

Thanks!

I got a CZ 457 MTR Varmint and I’m looking to shoot competitively next season/ year. I did some small batch of ammo testing at 50 yards and the best results was between the SK Rifle Match and SK Long Range Match. I tried 100 yards and the SK Rifle seems to be all over the place.

I know .22LR ammo can also vary by lot. By the time I purchase more I’m not sure how the new lot will behave.

So the questions here are:

What’s the best approach to testing ammo and getting a large amount? Do I purchase a test batch at the beginning of the season and buy a boat load it quickly after?

I’m seeing a drought in ammo, do these come in waves and I just have to keep checking retailers? or do I need to preorder them so I get the amount I need?

Also for anyone shooting ISSF .22LR as well same questions. Looking to get a Pardini and doing this process but it seems like the pistol ammo is in even shorter supply.

Picked up a CZ 457 Varmint on Friday and had to try it out asap. The wood on the stock is gorgeous, I’m not sure if they accidentally used a nicer grade on it but it’s the best patterning I’ve seen on a rifle.

Only put about a hundred rounds through it so far. I’m a little let down by how poorly it was grouping at 50 yards. I’m sure some of it is me being unfamiliar with it but I can get much nicer groups out of my wife’s 10/22. Middle groups were with subsonic Eley and seemed to be the best so far.

Don’t judge the scope mounting, I quickly threw it on at the range last minute. It will soon live on my preordered Makasi.

All in all it shot well. Put some Hornady match grade ammo and some Hungarian loads through it. My only issue is that the fibre optic rod on the front sight got loose and fell out. Do I just glue it in or is there an actual fix?

Hi everyone!

Hope i'm allowed to ask this here.

I'm from the Netherlands and, together with a few friends, I'm planning to travel to Canada in October. We'll be staying in the Toronto/Mississauga area.

We've got plenty of activities planned, but one thing that's on our bucket list is to try shooting real firearms at a shooting range. That's something that's generally not possible in the Netherlands.

I've heard that it's relatively easy to do this in the United States, but I'm curious about the laws and regulations in Canada.

Is it possible for tourists to visit a shooting range and shoot firearms in Canada?

If so, I'd really appreciate any recommendations or good experiences with shooting ranges in or around the Toronto/Mississauga area.

Thanks in advance!

So just curious what woukd you guys say is my best grouping I am a new shooter and im using a vortex rimfire 2-7 on a tikka t1x abd i can barely see the targets at 100 yards but I was thinking the 20 grain hirnady was my best

What do yiu say?

Yes I forgot my eyepro I am aware of my failures 😔

Did I hit my target? Maybe. Was it fun? Definitely.

I bought a little Cricket for her to use with an adorable little scope. She was pretty excited to create a hole in the target lol! 20m bench

Just a showcase today of my antique MK1 Webley from 1890-1892, using light smokeless handloads.

Load recipe is: 230g LRN, 3.4-3.6g of Win 231, CCI large pistol primers, using 45 auto rim or 45ACP cases (45 auto rim in this case)

Alternatively, I use the exact same load with 200g LSWC bullets as well, and they work just fine also.

For everyone’s enjoyment, as titled this is a Winchester model 1905 that has been converted to 30 Carbine. I have developed some light loads as the factory loading, in my opinion, is unnecessarily “hot” for this gun. I don’t know anything about the conversion but the barrel has no Winchester roll marks, only has a Winchester proof mark and a
30. US stamp on the side of it. No other identifiers even when taken apart. Timeline wise, rifle was made in 1906 and the 30 carbine cartridge came out in 1940. So my guess someone in the 50’s got it re-barrelled as I’m sure the original chambering of 35 WSL was probably not made anymore so leads to this. Neat rifle and video for slo motion of the blowback action. Cycled many different hand loads but there was a nice low recoil load that I’m gonna stick with. Just need to find more mags and I’d be set lol.

I believe it has been discussed many times on CGN forum but I've found these documents really useful, especially with the surge of SKS purchases and new SKS owners joining the gang there might be people asking what to do with their SKS carbines that shoot 10 feet high and 20 feet to the left (lol)

These are the official sight-in guidelines for Soviet and Yugoslavian armourers. Too bad I haven't been able to find the Chinese version but I'm pretty sure they are almost identical to each other.

Both guidelines require that you use the BATTLE SIGHT (III or 3), then shoot 4 rounds from a rested position at 100m, and aim at the CENTER of the BOTTOM EDGE of a black target.

The Soviet manual requires a black rectangular target (35cm x 25cm) attached to a white backboard (100cm x 50cm), while the Yugo instruction only requires a 25cm x 20cm black rectangular target attached to a white backboard of the same size.

After shooting 4 rounds, you gotta check your grouping. At least 3 rounds should fit within a 15cm circle. This makes sure your SKS has the Minute-of-Capitalist accuracy (5 MOA at 100m) to begin with.

Then, locate the center of your 4 hits by pairing 4 random bullet holes with 2 straight lines, connecting the 1/2 centres of the 2 lines with a 3rd straight line. The center point of the 3rd line is now the center of your hits.

Now, compare the centre of your actual hits to the theoretical point of impact, which should be exactly 25cm right above the point of aim. If the deviation of your actual impact vs the theoretical point of impact is less than 5cm, DO NOTHING. You're all set.

If the deviation is greater than 5cm, you will need to adjust your front sight post. Say if it shoots to the left, then you push the sight post to the LEFT. If it shoots high, you turn the sight post UPWARD.

For Russian and Chinese SKS:

Each full turn of the sight post changes the elevation by 16cm at 100m. Moving the sight post horizontally by 1mm changes the windage by 21cm at 100m.

For Yugoslavian M59/66:

The elevation adjustment ratio is 1 turn = 16.5cm at 100m, while windage is 1mm = 22cm at 100m.

Hope this helps, comrades.

I frankly had diabolical chronic muscular pain in my back muscles via chronic pain syndrome. It was triggered after I sneezed and pinched a nerve temporarily for a split second in my mid back. It basically just cause Central sensitization.

My back muscles would literally lock up until I couldn't stand anymore and I was in like 8 out of 10 pain within a 3 hours or less of trying to shoot.

Thank God for researchers like S Kasahara to study neurodiversity driven chronic pain and publishing study data on how to treat it.

Pragmatically I've had my chronic pain resolved with Vyvanse and pramipexole together with an under a year.

I'm poor still because I've been stuck on disability being disabled and I'm hoping to return to the workforce soon now I'm regaining my physical capacity, but I went a little bit crazy on credit because I have a pending bodily harm settlements to cover the bill.

I was just extremely excited at being able to do stuff without my back muscles locking up on me and completely tricked out this pig of a rifle to handle that I hated to shoot because it didn't fit me and now I absolutely freaking adore it:

Still stuck inside with the bum leg, reminiscing about shooting trips so have a pic from a few years ago!

Nothing super special today, just wanted to showcase the Chiappa 1887 in action with some buckshot and birdshot.

For those who are interested in the pistol grip version, the only thing to be aware of is that the pistol grip is MUCH beefier than say a shockwave or cruiser grip (and therefore isn’t the best perhaps for small hands).

Cheers!

Planning for mainly sit and call hunting this year, so the 25lb match rig will be coming along. Shooting Hornady Precision Hunter 143gn ELD-X. Not bad for factory ammo at 200 yards.
