My attempt at N50

[igolfat8]

Had some free time this afternoon and since I received my new scoring plugs from Mike and Joe I decided to head to the range and see what my Cricket 2 and Uragan could do. Wind was swirling 5-10 and it was mid 40’s so my fingers had a difficult time loading mags. Shot two cards with each rifle. I used 18 JSBs in the Cricket and 34 FX pellets in the Uragan with as shipped tunes.I was testing slugs in the Cricket at the top of the first target and also testing 25 MRD’s which I will try shooting next time out.

Nice shooting with the Cricket, also the plug holders are sweet.

That doesn't come with the set. lol

Thanks for the kind comments. I’m certainly not an accomplished BR shooter like a lot of you folks are but I am having a lot of fun. 


I threw together the holder after I received my plugs. Had visions of them rolling off the bench and losing the darn things. At least the holder should keep them handy until I knock the entire holder off the bench ;(

Had time enough for sighting in my new .22 Prophet LR and two N50 cards this afternoon. Swirling 10-15 wind was tough but this rifle is showing a lot of promise, at least for me. I think I finally found my keeper.

Very good, looks like you have something that will work well!

Didn’t want to start a new topic just for one card. Thought I’d try with pellets. But it was at end of EFT practice. Shot one card .22 DS Red Wolf HP with JSB RDMs. Only had a 0.30 scoring plug so I used that. No wind flags and that hurt. Shot 242-4X. Should get better since I was prone off a bipod. I like the targets. Winds about 10 mph but not swirling.

Phew, nice card CC and without flags! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks. I was on a roll by the time I got to that last row. Too bad they all didn’t look like that. I actually hadn’t shot pellets from that gun since October.

Mike, the plug I sent you a long time ago was a .350” for 22 cal. It’s the same as is being used for N50. Thanks for posting.

[Centercut]

Yes, thanks. Forgot about that.

Shot a few more cards this afternoon. Great weather, 3 MPH swirling wind. First attempt with my Brocock Sniper too.

Then a few cards with my Prophet .22LR.

Killer targets Tim, That Cricket and Prophet are smokin'

And that plug holder is the cat's meow!

 

[thomasair]

Very good, Tim! That prophet seems to shoot well for you.
