I have shot handicaps all the way back to 27 yards. Not because of my average but because it was a shoot event. Was a long time ago, think high school.
Did NOT shoot well Wednesday night. Cottonwood crap floating around and my eyes itch really bad, must be allergic...
Looking at doing some different ammo things. I've been shooting some Herters 1oz 8s vel 1250 because I had them.
Tried AA 7.5s 1-1/8 oz vel 1200 at 22 yards it didn't help.
Thinking about getting my loader out as I think I have enough powder/primers/wads/shot for a few hundred rounds.
After that I'd be at the mercy of finding a suitable powder and some primers.
My loads would be AA hulls, 19.5 gr Int. Clays, Claybuster Fig 8 Rem knock-off wads, Cheddite 209s, and 1-1/8 of 7.5s.
Should get me in that 1200 fps range.
