Thanks, all. I have been practicing 2 to 4 times a week shooting offhand for the past several months, but I'm also tweaking loads for hardcast bullets. The benchmark I use is the 230gr Sierra FMJ Tournamentmaster with 5.3 gr's 231. Anything that shoots close to that is a good load.

This friend, though, is incredible. He can bring any gun to the range and, within minutes, he's blowing out the x-ring. He's 52 and been doing it since he was a kid. Practice, practice, practice.

Thanks,
Dick
