Range Report 1

Well, this is my first range report.  Took the gun out to the 100 yd range near McLeansboro, Illinois to give it its first break-in.  For each range report, I'll try to list the date, time, environmental conditions (temp, wind, etc), the type of bullet I'm using, any configuration changes to the gun, and a breif summary of the outcome.

Date: 6/27/10
Time: ???
Location: McLeansboro, Illinois
Temp: 92 F
Humidty: 90%
Winds: Light
Bullet: PMC 55 Gr FMJ-BT
Rounds: 90
Ranges: 50 yd, 100 yd
Configuration Changes: None

Summary:  Overall, it went well.  The bolt had trouble cycling completely for the first 20 rounds or so, but loosened up nice after that and I had no issues.  The scope was WAY off and needs to be zeroed, but I knew it wasn't going to be accurate with 55 grain bullets through a 1:7" twist rifle.  Otherwise, had a great time shooting it and looking forward to putting a lot of lead down range with this gun.
