[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1800459, member: 70559"] Now that we are talking about teaching, I will tell about my experience "teaching" teenage boy. The only rifle I had for someone to use was a 7-.300 Weatherby. I loaded twenty rounds with about fifteen grains of some kind of pistol powder and a 120 grain bullet. They were placed into a ammo box so he could use up a whole box of ammo. I took him to the small river that ran through the property and threw sticks out into the water. He then proceeded to try to hit them. A week later he came over again. This time we had a whole box of a light load of 3031. We did the same thing. He never noticed the difference. We did this until he was firing 175 grainers at 2,700 feet per second. AT this time we put up a target about 100 yards away for him to fire at off hand. I took this opportunity to dial his scope in for his shooting. He was able to hit paper plates regularly. [/QUOTE]
