[QUOTE="DarryH, post: 1991296, member: 77108"] A friend asked me to shoot one of his home made steel plates with my 30-06. This was a 1903 Springfield with a 150 grain soft point bullet. We went back 100 yards and I fired, and the result had us laughing so hard we had to try again. You see, I was using the "battle sight" which usually results in hits about 8 inches high at 100 yards, I forgot this. My first shot hit the vertical metal bar above the plate, neatly severing it, and the plate dropped straight down. A quick trip to the shop and a welding job fixed everything. Our second try ended with a nice clean hole in the plate. [/QUOTE]
