Fired six rounds of Federal 170s in adjusting the ramp. seem to shoot all over the place. Decided to switch to try the Wincester 170 PPs. Still not anything like what I wanted to see UNTIL ..... drum roll please --- the last three shots. I checked each shot of the 16 in my spotting scope so knew at the time where each went. Now maybe after all this time I was settling down or maybe the rifle or both. But the last three are in a 1" group. The last two are on top of each other. So - very pleased in the end. Any ideas about lever actions "shooting in"?
Here is the target with the particulars.
Next on to the pistol range with the Ruger and the 45 ACP Cyl. As you may recall from a previous topic I was concerned about the accuracy level with what I measured as .456 throats and .451/.452 bullets. The rounds are on these targets are all Federal FMJ 45 ACPs. The three targets were all shot at 20 yds offhand. The first group was 3", the other other two measure 2 7/8". As you see on the first two the Ruger was shooting to the left for me. SO, I cleverly aimed to the right on the last target
red crosses show the aim point - that is how I like to see the sights. I am sure that the Ruger can easily shoot half of what is there rested. Apparently the bullet/throat sizes are not an issue as someone - maybe Blaine suggested, at least for my purposes. All in all a great return to the range day which is what 5 de May shall be for me a celebration from here on out and I invite all Me He Co to celebrate with me. 
Saw a number of old friends there with warm greetings - good to be back at it.
