Sorry guys my ass is in Japan right now.  I did the shooting on Sunday my flight was Monday morning I didn't take the time to take pictures or anything.  Have the target I will ask my brother to take a picture of it and email it to me then I will post.  Hopefully my mom didn't throw it away :P.  Cause I left everthing lying around the house including all my reloading stuff.  Didn't even get a chance to clean up.  It's all probably in a cardboard box in the garage somewhere.

CTT2,

I am glad your rifle shot great for you.  I remember your upper.  I built your upper for you at M1S,
