[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 67344, member: 3"] Fired three shots from my [i]unbraked, too light, skimpy recoil pad[/i] rifle today in an attempt to sight in the scope. I [b]was[/b] thinking about using this rifle for a bear hunt this spring. I used a discarded cardboard box at 50 yards (bore sighted) as a target. First round killed the box and mortally wounded the tree behind the box (first round struck ~ 3.5 inches low but I'm sure the box didn't notice). Two more rounds to verify impact [i]and further prove my stubbornness and stupidity[/i] before scope adjustment (tree obviously badly damaged and innards hanging out of the cardboard box). I loaded 20 round of virgin Norma brass with 98 grains of H4350 (check this before using), Hornady 400 grain round nose Interbonds and Winchester LRM primers for this test. I figure the remaining 17 round should last me about 40 years!! [/QUOTE]
