Title: 8-25-22 ULite + .458x260 Sabotless Shoot
Post by: Sabotloader on August 25, 2022, 02:01:48 PM
Well FINALLY! It cooled off enough that i felt comfortable to go out to the Rock Pit and get some shooting in! But I did take a fire extinguisher with me just in case.

The goal was to shoot this new 45 and make sure it was ready for the upcoming rifle deer season.  Plus I needed to verify which primer might work best in the Bestill 2 piece breech plug.

This was the bullet I was shooting. A sabotless bullet at the time made by Lehigh Defense.  I have shot this bullet a little bit last year.  It was a very accurate shooter.  Today I wanted to verify what I thought.

I really felt I would not have a lot of time before it warmed up so much that I would want to shoot any longer.  The Basalt Pit warms up very rapidly.  So planned worked out in my mind was to shoot 5 rounds.  So I placed 5 birds on the rock wall came back in and set up the shooting bench and accessories!  After that it was time to remove my long sleeve shirt - it was warming up quickly.

This is a composite picture of this morning activities.

After the five shoots, I quickly packed up and headed back to the house.  Now I am trying to decide whether I even want to clean the rifle because it is suppose to be a good day for a morning shoot Tuesday morning.  I really would like to do some more shooting!
