Oh, another thing about yesterday.
A brief range report. Well maybe not too brief.
1. Test fired the .300BO Pistol Upper. Didn't have any true malfunctions. But the S&B 200gr Subsonic didn't have enough gas/ energy to lock back the bolt carrier. Zeroed at 50yds with the BUIS so far. Drop at 100yds is roughly 10". Was funny hearing that bang then "thump" on it's impact. I didn't have my chronograph to check velocity but it couldn't have been very much out of the 8.5" barrel.
2. I switched out the UTG (yeah I know) QD scope rings off my AR-10 and put remounted my Leupold 3-9x Mk-AR Scope with a Burris PEPR QD Mount. Then rezored it. While I know the Burris mount system is better quality. It did raise the scope nearly 1/4" and change my cheek weld.😑
May have to go to something else like Warne QD Rings.
3. The "Veloceraptor" Project. Already commented some on the success of the heavier springs so no risk of hitting anything in low earth orbit with the ejected brass. Still debating going up to a 22lb recoil spring.
Now an epic fail so to speak not of any of the guns but I was going to record a impromptu video right after I finished shooting my 1911 from the bench. In fact I thought I had started recording and ended up basically talking to myself all the way up to the 100yd line. Yeah I was feeling a little frisky and shot a full magazine just to see the drop at 100yds and see if the pistol, ammo and I could remain stable to hit anything.
But did take these two snaps.
Not so much a group but a pattern at 100yds with one miss maybe from the wind as I didn't try at all to correct for the intermittent cross winds
Funny thing is my hold and drop was similar to the .300BO pistol upper. At the 12'oclock of the top bullseye.
I think this 1911 is a keeper.
