Smoke
First was the 6.5 Hornady 147 gr ELD match
Second was (2) .50 BMG Ball (FMJ) 660 gr
Third was a 9mm that made it 1/3 the way the catalog
Fourth was (2) FN5.7mm rounds that made it thru

(Yea I thought it was the best choice of target also.
I do have a .50 Raufoss round I’d love to try out on a string of Grainger’s catalogs. Anybody got a couple they will part with?)
