I Went to the Range Today

I took a new shooter with me from church.   He has never field stripped his S&W M&P 2.0.

I had two goals:

1. Verify the bore sighters got the M1A and a bolt action. 308 zeroed.  Both were able to ring the 200 yard plate.  The boI t action not as frequently but I think I need to work on hold.  It has no bipod.

The M1A had no problem with the 500 yard plate.   I was not prepared to battle the .bolt action without a sandbag. 

2.  The first 100 rounds through the PPK has some feed and eject failure.  I took Armacor, PMC and American Eagle high velocity hollow points.   All fired reliably.  It just needed breaking in.

When i first fired that bolt-action rifle, the recoil was severe enough that I found myself wondering,  "Was this a mistake?"  I put a recoil pad on it and found it better. Perhaps I am getting tougher but the recoil was quite acceptable today.
