    well, I had finished my kit a month or so ago. Here are more pics:

    Well, The groups on it were not great starting out.
    I first started with 50grns, then 60grns with Moose milk cleaning patch between shots. Being told that the accuracy will not start falling into place till I shoot over 100 rounds, I thought that I wanted to stop fighting the burnt powder, so I started doing 2 moose milk patches both sides, then a dry patch between rounds. I bumped it up to 70 grains too. Also, I got a little more consistant on where I put the bag on the stock and marked my loading point on the Range Rod. Other than a few fliers, it was shooting MUCH better than when I started.
    First paper is 8 rounds,
    2nd paper is 5 rounds

    Those targets, were you shooting them home-boy style?

    Nice rifle.

    I started to put them on sideways cause when I go to the pistol range, I can fit the top 2 rows (4 targets) and still hit the berm.
