2017 Targets

2017

In late 2017 I was able to get back into shooting. Almost immediately, with the availability of long distance ranges, I started  off with the rifle loads to develop a good hunting load. I did a lot of reading over that past year and after corresponding with John Kort many times, I decided to start with Reloder 7. This powder was readily available although I did acquire several pounds of IMR-4227 before I moved. Reloder 7 gave me more velocity and less chamber pressure over any other powder out there. When I left Georgia back in Feb 2015, I had just started wearing reading glasses and by the time I started back shooting in late 2017, my eyesight had deteriorated enough not to be able to shoot with open sights. I could either see the front sights or rear sights but not both. Thus I was forced to install scopes. For revolvers, I could make out the sights close enough with glasses but couldn't see the target. Now with a little more powerful glasses, I can make out enough to enjoy shooting revolvers again by 2019.
